4President’s Report

Charles reported that 2009 had been a very successful year. He noted that a number of new successful coaching groups had been established, and that it would be very desirable that these continue. Charles also noted that tournaments had been well attended, and that the introduction of arbiters has been a good initiative. He noted that we finished the year with a reasonably healthy bank account – some $10,000. Charles is pleased that Campbell High School had refurbished the canteen, and that ACTJCL funding contribution had helped contribute to this. Charles noted that we continue to have a good relationship with Campbell High School, with the Principal supporting our use of the Hall. Charles did note that this year the hall is only available on Monday’s and Friday’s for schools tournaments which has created some challenges. In finishing Charles noted that he has been President for four years, and that there are still active Committee members from that time, including Jim, and Mark. He noted that even though the ACTJCL existed, much of the work in the past had been done by previous Presidents, Jenny Oliver and Libby Smith. He noted that there is now a broader parent base sharing the work load. Charles thanked Mark Kethro for all his work in the last

six months.

The President’s report was accepted. Moved Diane Podlich, Seconded Mark Kethro.

Mark Kethro responded to the President’s report. He thanked Charles for his incredible contribution over the last four years. He noted his achievements in providing opportunities for older children, which has been successful in maintainingtheir involvement. He also noted that Charles had encouraged the club players to attend other tournaments such as Blayney and Dubbo. Mark noted that Charles has ensured that the ACTJCL is a strong, robust organisation. Mark presented Charles with a gift, as a token of appreciation, with contributions organised by Jin Yuan.

5Treasurer’s Report

Jin Yuan is organising a new auditor. Therefore, as the 2009 books are yet to be audited, a Special General meeting will need to be convened to consider the auditors report.
