BOWLS WA Reports - President

125 years and still going strong, enduring world wars, numerous conflicts, a pandemic or two, bowls is a resilientcommunity.

We celebrated in style at the Awards Night held this year at Optus Stadium with 277 in attendance. This Gala event saw us induct Kerry Andersen into the BWA Hall of Fame, welcome Roma Dunn as our new Vice Patron and acknowledge Kristina Krstic with the highlights of her Commonwealth Games Gold Medal Still spine tingling 9 months on

STAFFCHANGES

The Board and Staff saw several changes during the year Phil Manning has joined as our Country Director, his knowledge and passion for the game is great to see. Lee Bunney will not be seeking re-election and we thank her for her contribution, especially in the Club Development area in which she oversaw the set up and rollout of funding

Aaron Clark started in October 2022 and has had

The bowls calendar is a busy one and the year in review was no different We continued our Governance and Committee overhaul along with the Constitution review, that will be up for approval at an SGM later in the year

Memberships are decreasing but social participation is increasing at an exciting rate This is a massive opportunity for clubs and already we are seeing some great initiatives from many clubs in this area

LIVESTREAMING

Our charter at BWA is to Promote, Develop and Foster the game of bowls and we continued on with this during the year We expanded our live streaming of Country Round Robins - Men from Denison BC and Ladies from Halls Head BC This was enabled by generous sponsorship from the CBH Group and Liquor Traders Australia. This was added to the Country Week finals (AFGRI), State Singles Finals and Metro Pennant Finals (Professionals Real Estate Group) The numbers watching are easily justifying our financial commitment and exposing the sport and our Sponsors to all corners of the globe

an immediate impact with his IT and Social Media skill set He is an important part of our Podcast rollout

Aaron Delaporte's departure is a massive out, but his replacement Clive Adams is a massive in Aaron has been a key player in the development of Bowls Link His move to BA, albeit working from the BWA office, is a natural progression and he will continue to contribute at a National level We thank Aaron and welcome Clive

THENATIONALSCOMETOWA

Exciting times ahead when we welcome all our interstate friends to WA Sorrento, Joondalup and Warwick have preparations well under way and hopefully other clubs are offering support, especially with the event being held here again in 2026

Warm up games mid September against Victoria will be good preparation for October and give our teams and high performance group a chance to fine tune their teams This massive opportunity is all on the back of the generosity of Tourism WA

BOWLS WA Reports - President

TEAMSOFTHECENTURY

Albeit 125 years, this was a great initiative and well received by all The research, time and effort was staggering and Pieter Harris should be commended Pieter shouldered all the work around this with only some input from a few key people for the final selections, which was also greatly appreciated The teams are listed later in this report

Pieter now moves onto the Blitz during July which provides the ideal opportunity to players to prove their place, or push for inclusion in what will be a special Sides Series at home

VOLUNTEERS

Thank you to all that generously give of their time to keep this game going all year round Committee members, umpires, green keepers, selectors, the list is endless and everyone important and essential to the successful running of clubs

STAFFANDBOARD

We have an outstanding staff at BWA and a Board that is cohesive and hard working Ken Pride provides the link between both groups and is outstanding in how he keeps all informed and involved Both groups share a common focus of delivering outcomes that are beneficial to the success and running of bowls in WA

DOUGKELLY President

BOWLS WA Reports - CEO

The COVID driven uncertainty experienced over the past two seasons would now appear to be behind us. Although it remains prevalent in our clubs it has not affected any fixtures per se, with events again stronglysupportedandthankfullynodisruptions.

A very mild summer was also experienced, nothing like the 2021/2022 season which was incredibly hot, particularly around the Christmas/New Year period Very few fixtures were interrupted by weather, which perhaps did not assist in the trial of the later start time for Thursday pennant nor the earlier start time for Tuesday pennant – but more of that later

OUROUTSTANDINGPERFORMANCES

The 2022/2023 season has provided some wonderful highlights, but none more so than the pulsating Gold Medal match in the Ladies Pairs at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Our own Kristina Krstic snatched the ultimate prize on an extra end, teaming with her great friend Ellen Ryan to deny the gallant home town heroes in one of the finest sporting moments, not only of the bowls competition, but of the entire games The emotion on the green and in our own clubs at the completion of the match will live long in everyone ’ s memories

Not far behind were the fairytale wins in the Australian Championships where Kaye Blackwell, Rhonda Prosser and Kerry Andersen upset a star-studded side of Comm. Games stalwarts to claim the triples Gold and Shari Solly, Amanda Masters, Shaan Saunders and Jennie Bruce grabbed the gold in the fours

A strong WA contingent was on hand to cheer the teams home in some memorable matches at the Broadbeach club

Perhaps the other standout performance was more club based, again from the Manning Memorial club. Back to back pennants for both the Men’s and Ladies Premier League teams shows the strength of the club – with the win an astonishing nine in a row and twelve of the last thirteen for the ladies – surely unsurpassed in high level WA sport and perhaps still unfinished

HALLOFFAMEINDUCTIONFORKERRYANDERSEN

There is perhaps no more popular Hall of Fame ascension than Past President Kerry Andersen Formally inducted at the Annual Dinner & Awards Night following nomination from her club Mosman Park, Kerry’s on and off green record is a wonderful testament to her involvement in the game for many years The cherry on the top of her induction was the awarding of Life Membership of her beloved country club Shackleton, it was a lovely part of the evening and so very well deserved Throw in the triples title above and it has been some year to remember Kerry’s full record is shown elsewhere in the Annual Report

FINANCIALSTABILITYCONTINUES

The Director of Finance will offer her full report on the state of the Association’s finances elsewhere, but safe to say, in a challenging year, Bowls WA is well placed to continue to meet those challenges head on. Although reporting a small deficit, the first in a number of years, the reasons behind that are simple; an unbudgeted expense in framing the Club Development and Modernization Strategy and the lack of dividends received from our investment portfolio, a common occurrence the world over.

The Association continues to operate in a conservative manner, ensuring that financial decisions made are consistent with the on-going stewardship of the sport

CONTINUEDFOCUSONGOVERNANCE

As are the requirements now-a-days there continues to be a focus on improving Governance standards at all levels. Following the completion of the Strategic Plan a number of other issues, many identified as important not only by the Board but also the State Government continued to be tackled Several of these will be determined by the clubs as changes have been recommended to the Constitution, which will be considered in due course

Other items are drawn from the Sport Australia standards or the higher authority of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) Although some are directed

BOWLS WA Reports - CEO

more at national authorities such as Bowls Australia (BA), many can be applied to ourselves to ensure we are compliant to the highest of standards in as many areas as possible – this will be an on-going, long term task

The annual review of the Bowls WA Governance Standards showed a “ score ” of 108, marginally below the benchmark of the standard to be deemed a high level Measured against others Bowls WA achieved an average of (2 95 out of 4) with the overall Bowls average (2 87), State Average all sports (2 98) and National average all sports (2 66) Given this Bowls WA is well placed, but will continue to strive to improve in all areas of Governance

STAFFCHANGES

For over a decade this section of an annual report would have been pretty easy to write : Nil But in April we did see some movement in the office with Operations Manager Aaron Delaporte taking up a great opportunity with Bowls Australia to head up the important BowlsLink program and continue its growth around the country His work over the period has been very significant and all clubs have benefitted from Aaron’s work, whether that be through BowlsLink and prior to that Bowls Connect training or as head of Club Development in all its forms, he will be hard to replace

CHANGEDSTARTTIMES

The past season has seen some altered start times on both Tuesday and Thursday

In general the later start for Thursday and the earlier start for Tuesday’s was in response to a number of clubs concerned about the level of heat often encountered. Fortunately (or unfortunately) the summer was very mild in comparison to the previous season in particular, so the full effect of the changes was difficult to ascertain on that front Clubs were however given the opportunity to make comment on the two changes which provided differing responses

On Thursday there was a definite preference to returning to the 1 30pm start, although some of the reasons put forward strained commonsense, whereas responses from the ladies strongly favored the continuation of the earlier start There were of course issues at clubs which influenced their decision and these need to be taken into account for next season

The newly formed Game Development Committee will consider the responses, in addition to any other matters deemed important, to improve the pennant conditions of play and turnaround the longtime reduction of pennant numbers

But someone with the corporate knowledge to give it a go is Regional Bowls Manager Clive Adams, who swaps uniforms with Aaron and joins us from Bowls Australia The move has been seamless and each has benefitted from an easy handover (helpful that Aaron has remained in Perth and sits three desks away!)

Finally, we welcome Aaron Clark (or A2 as he is now known) who fills an important role of communications in all its forms Already we have seen some great podcasts with greats of our sport, these will continue along with a relook at Newsletters, Awards Night’s, Facebook posts and the like

a growing area for sure

Thanks to the Staff, President Doug and the Board, Committee volunteers and Club executives who work hard for our sport. All no doubt have been challenged at some stage over the past 12 months but on face value we continue to operate well and by all measurements are operational leaders for a mid-sized sport Long may that continue.

KENPRIDE ChiefExecutiveOfficer

BOWLS WA Reports - Country

This is my first annual report after just 12 months on the Board. I did find the first half of the year a little daunting with a lot going on and not really understandingtheBoard'sworkings.

I must admit there was a lot happening with the rewrite of the constitution along with a new strategic plan to organise I soon got to appreciate what the staff actually do for our great game Our CEO, Ken Pride, is the organiser and is ahead of everything bowls - he makes the job of being a Board Member very easy

The rest of the office staff from the administration staff recording and making sure everything is up to date and in the right place, to the two Aaron's and Pieter who run everything out there on the green, they are all so professional Their work sometimes goes without notice but it is very important and needs recognition

We lost Aaron Delaporte, our Operations Manager, to Bowls Australia this year, but he has been replaced with a fine replacement in Clive Adams Clive wears many hats and will fit in with our team easily as he has been around the office as a Regional Bowls Manager for many years

I would like to thank both Clive Adams and Troy Kinnane, our Regional Bowls Managers, for their great job helping out our Country clubs during the past year Originally our Southern Manager, Troy is currently covering the whole State, so please use him up as he has lots of knowledge and resources involving all facets of the game

Congratulations to the Southern Zone for winning both the Men's and Women's IZRR this year, great effort Thanks to our generous sponsor in CBH for the live streaming of some of the games for the first time All reports suggest it was well received around the bush and I must admit to enjoying my first foray into the commentary world

Both Men’s and Women’s Country Week were well attended and we ended up with lots of new faces on the winners podium, congratulations to all and once again a big thanks to CBH for funding the live streaming of all finals Country Week continues to have the magic that it always has had and it is such an important event on the calendar

The awards night was held at Optus Stadium this year and I think it was a real winner - good venue, food, drinks, presentation and well compered by the smooth Clive Adams

Big congratulations to Warren Holt and Karen Gaglia, our Country Bowlers of the Year, along with Pinjarra, Large Country Club of the Year and Gingin, Small Country Club

Looking forward to next year, enjoy your break and see you next season

PHILMANNING BoardDirector

BOWLS WA Reports - Club Development

The Club Development Committee (CDC) is responsible for providing support and assistance to clubs and their members, in whatever form that may take. The CDC works within a tight budget to achieve this objective along with promoting the sport, on behalfofclubs,tothepublicofWesternAustralia.

The continued focus areas were:

Governance: Strategic, Operations, Risk Management Plans and strategies; Financial viability: Sound and accountable financial management, Cash flow and investment management; Membership recruitment: management and marketing, retention targets and strategies;

Club environment: Activities and events, Member surveys and Volunteer Management Plan; Promotion and development: Strategies (community bowls, Jack Attack, attractive events); and Compliance: with Associations Incorporations Act; Liquor Control Act and Club Constitution.

The Strategic Plan continues to provide the future direction of work in this important area to support Clubs state-wide

Over the last 12 months the CDC has worked hard to deliver on a number of outcomes The ultimate success of these outcomes is not always instantly recognised with a focus in changing the perceptions of the sport so that it is viewed as accessible to all ages and demographics aligned to the Bowls WA Vision for Bowls for all Western Australians to connect with bowls during their lifetime

This is something that will be gradual and requires a longterm strategy and investment that will bear fruit in future years.

One of the key initiatives for 2022 was the formation of the Club Grants Program that benefited 22 clubs from a $40,000 investment to see clubs fund a participation program. The program has seen many great ideas emerge, and with clubs reporting on the success of their ideas, we will be looking to help more clubs succeed into the future Given the success of the program, the Board has agreed to continue this initiative in 2023 where will once again encourage clubs to think a bit differently and try new things

BOWLS WA Reports - Club Development

In January 2023, the CDC was renamed to become the Club and People Development Committee in line with the reforms to the governance structure of Committees We also had the release of the Club Development Modernisation Strategy 2023 to 2025, which will now guide the CPDC.

With the catch cry of Game On! 2025 it will provide the blueprint for how Bowls WA optimally supports a thriving state-wide network of member clubs to enhance the club experience and grow Bowls

By building capacity within our clubs and delivering attractive offerings, together, we will be able to welcome more people into the WA Bowls community, grow club membership and participation, modernise club business models and increase and diversify club revenue streams

GAME ON! 2025 has been developed to:

Enhance the trust the Bowls WA Club Network has in Bowls WA, through purposeful collaboration, for the benefit of clubs, and the sport

Ensure we are focussing on what is most important to future proof the Bowls WA Club Network – we don’t have the resources of some larger, commercially focused sports, so we can’t do everything We must be efficient

Maximise the relevance, visibility, and impact of Bowls and Bowls clubs within the WA sport and active recreation sector and the broader community.

The three above points will guide the CDPC in 2023 and beyond

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Committee consisting of Lee Bunney, Hailey Packer, Ray Povey and Phil Manning for their solid contribution throughout the year They provided a wealth of knowledge from their Club and wider community experiences We also welcomed Aaron Clark to Aaron Delaporte’s team.

To the Bowls Australia Regional Bowls Managers Clive Adams and Troy Kinnane, you do a great job in being the conduit between the Clubs and Bowls WA in ensuring Club needs are understood and addressed in a timely fashion

Never have they been more important to Clubs than now, given the COVID-19 challenges in the last 3 years

Finally, to Aaron Delaporte, your work and support to Committee and particular to me cannot be measured Your commitment and professionalism are un-matched and I sure you will be very successful in your new role with Bowls Australia

I look forward to another year of continuing to provide Clubs our support in the 2023/2024 season

BOWLS WA Reports - High Performance

The 2022-23 High Performance team was a much more active unit this season with the Nationals back on after being cancelled last season due to Covid restrictions.

WAUNDER18sSTATETEAM

Unfortunately, WA was not able to send a girls team to the 2022 Under 18 Championships due to lack of numbers, but a full team of boys were selected and acquitted themselves extremely well

WA's boys fours team did wonderfully well, with Segan Pasalich, Tom Brooks, Brock Kilmurray and Cam Wellington claiming silver in a strong field WA's Singles representative Callum Alberti performed well and the experience will stand him in great stead for the future.

Cam and Brock also combined in the pairs to finish fourth, and Alex Wasley finished fourth in the fours, playing for the Combined States Side, comprising of selected players not already named in their own State Side

WAOVER60sSTATETEAM

The Over 60s State teams went to Broadbeach full of confidence in their ability to press for a championship The Women’s Over 60s team had 2 debutants - Lexie Webster (Dudley Park) and Sharon Whana (Katanning). The Men’s Over 60s Team had 5 debutants in Jerome Clayton (North Beach), Eric Johannes (Cambridge), Kevin Pickering (Osborne Park), Neville Stevens (Osborne Park) and GregTaylor (Sorrento)

The Women’s team performed well with four wins and three losses to finish in fourth position The rink of Noelene Abe, Bev Davidson, Sharon Whana and Irene Leahy were WA’s leading rink with five wins Irene was also outstanding individually and a worthy Beryl Brennan medal winner

The Men’s team also had four wins and three losses but finished in fifth position on the ladder A slow start to the tournament cost the boys dearly but a strong second half put them close behind the leaders The rink of Eric Johannes, Neville Stevens, Ross Bolton and Jerome Clayton had a great tournament with six out of seven wins On debut, Jerome was outstanding and took home the McKenzie/Barns Medal.

WAOPENSTATETEAMS

After a two year wait the WA women ’ s team finally got to take to the big stage again and saw three ladies make their debut at Broadbeach - Chris Ace-Watson (Mosman Park), Kaitlin Tyrrell (Osborne Park) and Shaan Saunders (Osborne Park) Going into the last round against the undefeated New South Wales team, a win would have seen the ladies finish in second. Unfortunately, WA was outgunned and had to settle for a very respectable third with a five win and two loss record Lisa Featherby, Robyn O’Brien, Denise Kelly and Shari Solly were WA’s best rink with five wins and Kristina Krstic was again outstanding to win the Beryl Godfrey Trophy.

The WA men ’ s team was looking to improve on previous years as the selectors introduced five debutants into the side Warren Holt (Wagin), Blake Nairn (Cambridge), Dale Marsland (Mosman Park), JackEast (Osborne Park) and

BOWLS WA Reports - High Performance

Cameron Harris (Cambridge) - all looked at home at Broadbeach

In one of the most outstanding WA men ’ s wins in recent times, the whole twelve players picked themselves up after a slow start to come over the top to beat the powerful Victorian team

A win in the last game against NSW would have seen our boys take 2nd position They were with NSW the whole match but just fell short on the last end and had to settle for an overall fourth position with four wins and three loses

It was a very even performance amongst the rinks, with all contributing at different times Edging in front was Anthony Williams, Shane Knott, Bill Brandsma and Russell Bates with four wins and three losses Anthony was outstanding in the skip position to take home the Alan Eddy – Rod Wishart Trophy

Preparations for the 2023 Nationals are well underway Excitement is building with the Nationals (event as a whole) in Western Australia in October 2023 for the first time It has been quite a few years since WA supporters have been able to see our state teams take on the best in Australia. Host clubs Sorrento, Joondalup and Warwick are sure to do us proud as will our selected players

AUSTRALIANJACKAROOS

Congratulations to Kristina Krstic, Cody Packer and Lisa Featherby who were all honoured with Jackaroos selection this year Kristina, our Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, and Cody selected in the Open Jackaroos squad, and Lisa in the Over 60s Jackaroos squad.

Kristina's performance showing that with sheer hard work and steely determination, the ultimate honour in our sport can be achieved, from right here in WA

BOWLS WA Reports - Umpires

The Charter of the Umpires Committee outlines the responsibilities of the committee, ensuring there is adherence to the Laws which control the sport of bowls, and associated to that the training, coordination and development in all its forms of umpiringthroughoutthestateofWesternAustralia.

The Umpires’ Committee consists of Stephen Beckwith (Gingin), Anne Crabb (Manning), Hilton Dembo (Mt Lawley), Vicki Eva (Mosman Park), Ryan Havercroft (South Perth), David Killisch Von Horn (Bassendean), Werner Tubbe (Warwick), Pieter Harris (Bowls WA representative) and the Chair – Sue Hogg (Manning) Unfortunately, Gavan Ebsworth (Merriwa) was unable to continue, and we thank him for his commitment and valued service during his time on the committee

The committee has been very busy this year becoming familiar with the requirements for the new online courses and the new laws as well as officiating at the many state events which have been conducted throughout the year

NATIONALUMPIRESCOURSES

This year has seen many changes in the way umpiring courses are conducted Whilst ‘Face to Face’ umpire’s courses are the preferred method of training National Umpires, Bowls Australia has introduced ‘Self-Paced Learning’ and ‘Online Learning’ to ensure that those wishing to become accredited officials have choices available to cater for their needs

The ‘Self-Paced Learning’ course will be beneficial to country areas in future years where the tyranny of distance is a challenge for Presenters and Assessors, and their candidates

This year in the metropolitan area, the ‘Presenters and Assessors’ have conducted four ‘Face to Face’ courses, six reaccreditation courses, two Self-Paced learning courses and five Umpire’s Forums This is in addition to the many courses conducted in country areas by our country ‘P&As’

Many thanks to the following bowling clubs for making their facilities available to conduct courses in the Metro area - Mt

Pleasant, Cockburn, Yokine, Manning, Gosnells, Sorrento, Willetton, Warwick, Fremantle and Warnbro

COUNTRYUMPIRES

The Umpires’ Committee has been very aware of the need to reach out to country umpires contacts, P&As and players to ensure they are kept informed of changes and developments in laws, policies and the training of officials This has been done by way of information notes and online Zoom meetings

With the initial contact with country P&As, the Umpires Committee realised there was a need to provide all P&As with guidance in conducting courses The Umpires Committee worked on an outline for both the ‘Reaccreditation’ and the ‘Self-Paced learning’ courses to ensure there was consistency throughout the state Files detailing the course outlines were distributed to all P&As and were followed up with Zoom meetings.

This year, courses for the on-green component for the SelfPaced learning course were conducted during Men’s and Women’s Country Week This gave country candidates the opportunity to complete their National Umpires accreditation while in Perth These will be continued in future years

Forums were also conducted via online Zoom meetings for country umpires and players, and these proved popular.

BOWLS WA Reports - Umpires

NEWLAWBOOK

The Laws of the Sport of Bowls Crystal Mark 4th Edition and accompanying Domestic Regulations were introduced in April 2023 A couple of the new laws created much controversy amongst many Member National Authorities and have since been rescinded

Forums to discuss the new laws have been well attended

INTERNATIONALTECHNICALOFFICIALS

International Technical Official Assessments were conducted in Perth in April by World Bowls Congratulations to Stephen Beckwith (Gingin) and David Killisch Von Horn (Bassendean) who were successful in their assessments, and we wish them all the best for their future umpiring duties as ITOs

There are now ten accredited International Technical Officials in Western Australia – more than any other state in Australia

Vicki Eva and Sue Hogg were selected to officiate at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and Western Australian ITO officials were again very well represented at the Australian Open

The opportunities exist for National Umpires to become ITOs and officiate at a higher level and we look forward to assisting those who are interested in the future

On behalf of the Umpires Committee, I would like to thank all our umpires throughout the state for their contributions to our sport as officials.

In addition, the dedication and commitment to training our officials by the Presenters and Assessors (around 30) throughout the state is greatly valued and appreciated We look forward to working with you again in the 2023-24 season

A final thankyou to the team of members on the Umpires Committee for the many valuable volunteer hours contributed throughout the year

SUEHOGG Umpires

BOWLS WA Reports - Greens

Once again, the 2022-2023 Greens and Infrastructure Committee members have been a dedicated volunteer group and I would like to thank each and every one of them for their continued dedication to the important role they fulfill each season. I have been very lucky to have had such a stable committee over thepastfewyears.

The Annual Metropolitan Inspections carried out in October showed a majority of clubs had enough greens to start the season and in general, at a good standard however, there were a number of letters of concern where greens had deteriorated during the season We ask that all clubs stay vigilant and report to Bowls WA when a green may not be at the required standard We also ask that clubs are honest with themselves and their members by taking greens out of play when they are not at the required Pennant level

After a comprehensive review from McLaughlin Sports Consultancy, the Bowls WA Committee structure including the Greens and Infrastructure Committee has undergone some changes which will come into full effect in the 20232024 season Our valued volunteer greens inspectors will still be doing the annual inspections as well as inspections during the year to pass greens or following up on greens protests, but a smaller Committee will move into the advisory area and will be looking at more practical things that Bowls WA can do to assist all Metropolitan and Country Clubs in the greens and infrastructure area This will include advice on new synthetic or grass greens or infrastructure from the planning to implementation stage I look forward to producing meaningful information to help our clubs in whatever future plans they may have, as they make these important upgrades to their facilities

The number of synthetic greens in the Metropolitan area continues to rise as grass greens seem to be a luxury that clubs cannot afford financially As we head into the 2023-24 season, we will have slightly more grass greens than synthetic greens at our Metropolitan Clubs. However, with the knowledge that a number of clubs are planning to put in a new synthetic green, there is little doubt that we will finish the 2023-24 season with more synthetic greens than grass greens for the first time Clubs need to be taking advantage of the all year round availability of synthetic greens

Having a majority of synthetic greens has been a reality for our Country Clubs for a number of years and even this number continues to grow each year While the BWA Greens and Infrastructure Committee does not have direct involvement in country greens, we do field many calls during the season seeking advice on issues with both grass and synthetic surfaces We are always willing to help as much as possible and the material that the smaller committee will produce in the future will be tailored to both metropolitan and country situations

The breakdown of synthetic and grass greens at Clubs at the completion of the 2022-23 season is shown here

It has been my pleasure to work with my committee for another season and going forward the Bowls WA volunteer green inspectors will continue to work with clubs to improve the quality of our playing surfaces The new Committee structure will ensure Bowls WA are both looking after the present with green inspections and first hand interaction and advice, while also looking to assist clubs in future projects

BOWLS WA Reports - Inclusive Practices

2022-23 showed a 27% increase in physical disability players at the All Abilities State Championships and a 20% increase in the Bowling Arm State Singles entries. Additionally, the National Bowling Arm Side Series was held in WA for the first time since inception in 2013. These events showcase our 2022 – 25 Strategic Plan of “#PLAY IT” where more people in WAplayBowlsinmoreways.

BOWLINGARMSTATESIDE

The side prepared stringently to participate in the National Bowling Arm Sides Championships, performing brilliantly

Despite the great preparation, WA could not push Victoria out of the top spot! While ending up tied on points with Queensland in second spot, the aggregate reared its head and WA came third and won four of five inter-state shields!

ALLABILITIESSTATECHAMPIONSHIPS

All Abilities State Championships were played at Kardinya Bowling Club with 45 participants and many new players in the Intellectual and Physical Disability categories

A significant increase in the physical para-players emphasizes the importance players place on the pathway from State to National representation via the newly developed Para Pathway by Bowls Australia

WOMEN'SINTERREGIONROUNDROBIN(IRRR)

This year's IRRR was played at Morley Bowling Club as the host venue for the Eastern Region

The players compete in two competitions:

(1) a round robin tournament of 96 players competing to win the overall IRRR event, and

(2) An All Stars Competition where the best 8 players of each region are selected

This year ’ s winners, for the second year running, were the Northern Region Results shown for both games show why Northern is such a strong contender in this event.

BOWLINGARMSTATESINGLES

The event was hosted at Warnbro Bowling Club with 54 entries that performed sectional play, alignment, and knockout rounds to whittle down to the 8 quarter finalists by the end of the first day of play The second day played quarter finals to the final and a new country player struck gold – congratulations to Warwick Glenister from Geraldton Second place went to last year ’ s champion, Eddie Gollan from Thornlie, while Equal Thirds (new in 2023) medals were presented to Gail Ecclestone and MichaelSpadaccini – both from Bunbury

The significant increase in entries this year has resulted in next year ’ s event expanding to three days

Thank you to all host venuesWarnbro for the National and State Arm Tournaments, Kardinya for the All Abilities, and Morley for the Women’s IRRR

BOWLS WA Reports - Fixtures & Events

The Bowls WA Calendar from October to May is generally an extremely busy one and this was no different in the 2022-23 bowls season. Aside from the 5 different Metropolitan Pennant Competitions, Bowls WA looks after 30 different events ranging from men’s to women’s to mixed, including Over 60s and Under 18s.

The 2021-22 season had seen quite a rise in entry numbers for many events, possibly due to fewer travel opportunities and players craving games after an interrupted past year In 2022-23, many of the events were down entries but generally still higher than prior to 2021 The standout event was Women’s Countryweek with 33 more singles players, 12 more pairs teams and 4 more fours teams The singles entries were the highest since 2012-13 and was brilliantly won by Karen Gaglia (Busselton) who would go on to win the Country Bowler of the Year award

Finding venues for all these events continues to be an issue, with a select few Metropolitan Clubs doing the heavy lifting We encourage clubs to consider why these events are held and look to find ways they can overcome some of the obstacles that stop them hosting These events are held for the benefit of your club members, that includes the ones who think they can win and the players who are looking to experience events outside their club This can only be a benefit to your clubs in the long run Bowls WA came dangerously close this season to cancelling or at least limiting entries in some events due to a lack of venues. There must be a solution going forward to allow State events to grow without the fear of cancellation and Bowls WA looks forward to working with clubs to find that solution

Metropolitan Pennant numbers have generally been steady for several years The introduction of limited Open Gender Pennant a number of years ago gave a large boost of 14 teams to Tuesday Pennant 3rd Division and they have stayed consistent since However, the introduction of Open Gender Pennant has not been without its issues as clubs and players alike adjust to the ramifications of it and who can and cannot play It is still the plan, as discussed at the Presidents Forum at the end of the 2021-22 season, that Men’s Saturday Pennant will become fully Open Gender at the start of the 2024-25 season with it going up one division

to 2nd Division and below in the 2023-24 season. As discussed at the same meeting, it is not intended to increase the number of Open Gender divisions in the Tuesday or Thursday Pennant Competitions It is also intended that Women’s Saturday Pennant will continue to be offered and it will be up to Metropolitan Clubs to decide which competitions they enter

Bowls WA has had many conversations regarding Open Gender Pennant with several Country Leagues as they also wrestle with similar issues involving open gender rules and dwindling Pennant Numbers in both the Men’s and Women’s Pennant Competitions Together, by sharing our successes and failures, we must continue to evolve the Pennant Competitions to cater for all our players, while running sustainable competitions Bowls WA looks forward to continuing and expanding those discussions and sharing ideas with all our metropolitan and country clubs

As it is every year, the heat rule continues to be a hotly discussed topic There are many different opinions as to the rights and wrongs of the rules and temperature gauges in general This season, Bowls WA trialed the ten minutes rest and 30 minutes playing when the temperature went over 38C method in state events, rather than just stop play until the temperature went below 38C On the few occasions this was required to be used, it was generally well received by players and umpires a like Further discussions will take place during the off season to consider if this method could be introduced in some form as the rule for the 2023-24 Metropolitan Pennant Season

Due to generous sponsorship from CBH Group and additional funds from Bowls WA, this season we were able to go to both the Men’s Interzone Round Robin at the Denison Bowling Club and the Women’s Interzone Fours at the Halls Head Bowling Club to provide livestreaming of the events Both events were extremely enjoyable, and we were wonderfully looked after by both clubs and the players This was on top of our usual livestreaming of Men’s and Women’s Countryweek, Men’s and Women’s State Singles and Tuesday and Saturday Pennant Finals It is a big undertaking to livestream an event with all the things that could go wrong with the technology required but we are lucky to have some great volunteers and a wonderful

relationship with Dean and Sharon from Lomax Productions Dean and Sharon Lomax are based in Bunbury, so it is an added bonus we are able to team up with a locally run small business that has such great knowledge in the field

A final thanks to all our volunteers who help make it possible for Bowls WA to run events that all Western Australian affiliated members can enter, we clearly couldn’t do it without your generosity Also, to the Bowls WA volunteers doing the work behind the scenes and on the front line, especially Leonie Potts who is fast becoming a stalwart and fan favourite at Bowls WA event finals While there are some changes in the Bowls WA committee structures going forward, Bowls WA continues to need people able to volunteer their time to be on the front line and run events If you are somebody who wants to volunteer to help run some Bowls WA events during the year, please let us know as we always need more It is generally a very rewarding experience and an opportunity to give back to a sport that has been so good for so many people

BOWLS WA Reports - RBMs

It’s been a year of change as we have seen Clubs continue to thrive, whilst changes amongst our team have seen Regional Bowls Manager for the North/East, Clive Adams, depart the role to take on the Operations Manager role at Bowls WA – we thank Clive for his 8½ years of fantastic service to the role, and we look forward to seeing him make further contributionswithBowlsWA.

Troy Kinnane is currently filling both the North and South roles, as Bowls Australia conducts a full review of the RBM roles, from an operational standpoint

OURAWARDWINNERS

The Bowls WA Awards Night was held at Optus Stadium in June and was a wonderful night It is very satisfying, from an RBM point of view, to see our Clubs, Volunteers and Officials rewarded at such an occasion, as we see the effort and sheer volume of work that goes in at clubs firsthand.

North Beach took the honours as our Metropolitan Club of the Year – the award is rich reward for the years of work that has gone on at the Club Membership growth is a strength, with the club operating at capacity in terms of green space and hitting plenty of goals off the green

Mount Lawley went back to back to back in the Small Metropolitan Club of the Year award, with outgoing President Terry Conley very proud to once again receive the award Mount Lawley is a standout club in the Metropolitan area used as a benchmark for many and a place to go for advice

PInjarra might still be celebrating as it clinched the Country Club of the Year award Outstanding performance at pennant level capturing 5 titles, along with some great work around the greens and clubhouse, and some brilliant junior development saw them take the trophy in a very hard fought award this year.

Gingin backed up its award from last year with another gong A very keen Committee is seeing the club progress in leaps and bounds We look forward to seeing what this great country club can do in the future

Our wonderful volunteers were also acknowledged with Ivan Perica, Ryan Havercroft and Terry Koltasz all award winners, and perhaps a special award of the night going to Kelli Wray as Coach of the Year – Kelli’s work in the junior space has been second to none, and we can look forward to seeing the fruits of her labour stay in our sport for many years to come

For every award winner, we know there's another bunch of people out there that are doing amazing things for their club and for our sport To those people we say thank you

Remember that next year, a great way to reward your volunteers is by nominating them for an award - it shows how much you value their contribution You could even purchase tickets and treat them to a wonderful night out

BOWLSAUSTRALIAPROGRAMS

It has been fantastic to see clubs embracing the Jack Attack competition and what it can bring to clubs This year plenty of clubs have continued their Jack Attack programs, with clubs like Como, Yokine, and Karlgarin dipping their toes in the water for the first time Karlgarin is a particularly special program as with a registered population of just 105 people they regularly had eight teams in attendance throughout the four week program

If your club still hasn’t had a go, or is looking for something just a little different, Jack Attack is a wonderful option. Under the standard licence agreement, you get your licence fee back after running just your first series, and then the sky is the limit from there

ROOKIEROLLERSANDSCHOOLPROGRAMS

It’s been another bumper year in terms of school programs with many Primary Schools across the state getting a taste of bowls through the brilliant Rookie Rollers equipment The equipment has recently been expanded to provide more for schools with All Abilities equipment meaning our sport is reaching more and more young people

In terms of Junior Development, there are plans in the mix for a State Schools competition to happen later in the year,

BOWLS WA Reports - RBMs

with an eventual aim of sending a schools team to a National Competition supported by School Sport Australia

Credit goes to Cockburn’s Coach of the Year Kelli Wray and outgoing State Junior Coach Blake Butler for the work they have done in the junior space. Significantly increased numbers in Bowls WA’s state junior events shows that interest is growing, and both Kelli and Blake can take plenty of credit for that

GRANTSANDFUNDING

There’s been big news in the grants space, with the State Government expanding its provisions under the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) program

With over $20 million on offer per year for WA’s sporting projects, across areas like facility development, greens, lighting, and other upgrades, it is a great time to be planning and executing projects you have desired for years.

The CSRFF process is an arduous one, however you simply don’t get the volume of assistance that CSRFF offers without the effort that goes along with it Our Regional Bowls Managers across Australia have access to successful grants from all over the country and have the great experience that you need to assist with a successful application Get planning and get us involved!

Of course CSRFF isn't where grants end. Make sure you have developed relationships with Council and other external stakeholders When you've got projects on the go, reach out and see how each of them can contribute It really only works if you have established relationships already though.

Bowls WA's Participation Grants were a big hit with clubs Yanchep can take a bow for its programs which centered around providing more opportunities for EVERYONE in its community to get involved.

Yanchep added some wheelchairs to their club equipment and are already enjoying the success of new members joining the club due to the increased opportunity to get involved and discover a new sport

CONTACTYOURRBM!

Reality is that there is a fantastic team of Regional Bowls Managers travelling throughout Australia helping clubs improve the way they do things, leading to wonderful successes. Sometimes it is just a simple conversation that can start the ball rolling

This year, the RBM team helped clubs in the following areas:

Planning, through Business Plans and Sport Australia's Game Plan Grants, through assisting with CSRFF applications and other smaller applications

Programs, with offerings like Jack Attack, Rookie Rollers and Roll Back the Clock

BowlsLink - clubs can ask for assistance during a visit, or make a simple phone call

Technology - need help with your website or social media? We can assist.

Council Relationships - we already have existing relationships with many councils throughout WA Greens - whilst we aren't experts on green preparation, we have access to a world of resources and advice

Data Gathering - strengthening our sport through accurate participation data gathering

Membership Growth - by encouraging clubs to think differently and try new things

There's simply so many ways the RBM crew can assist, and it costs you nothing to get us to visit your club TROYKINNANE

BOWLS WA Reports - Finance

Bowls WA started the 2022/23 year projecting a small but manageable deficit (after depreciation) of ($30,899) knowing there was capacity to see improvements during the year. Covid was in fact positive to the cashflow in the last two years but this financial year there was a requirement to fully fund the nationalsidesprogram.

The outcome is a deficit for the year of ($6,618) Very close to a break-even outcome except for a $7,000 provision for an “Expected Credit Loss” (formerly referred to as a “doubtful debt”) due to a default from one of our sponsors A significant turnaround from the budgeted position

In the profit and loss statement you will notice there is some reliance on interest and dividend income from cash funds and the IOOF investments This has been increasing each year with reasonable dividend returns and an increasing investment balance but for 2022/23 income was well down (at $23,965), $22,035 below forecasts and $22,972 below the previous year This was partly offset by the State Government via the Industry Investment Program (IIP) with increased support to $200,000 on the commencement of the new triennial – an increase of $20,000 pa

We welcomed new sponsors this year – GenesisCare (Over 60s) and the CBH Group (IZRR Live Streaming) and the renewal of sponsorship from AFGRI Equipment; BCIB; Dyenamic Sublimation; Liquor Traders; the Senior Recreation Council and The Professionals Real Estate. These companies support the Association at over $100,000 pa which, along with the IIP funds, is invaluable in reducing Bowls WA's reliance on affiliation fees

It was pleasing to see that competition income has been maintained post Covid In looking at the numbers the Over 60’s events, Country Week(s) (Ladies in particular) and the mixed events are higher than the previous year Income coded as “Development Programs” includes the BPL Prizemoney which was well up on the previous year; in part due to better performances but also the timing of events with three held in this financial year

Rigorous cost management is always a priority and expenditure was down $44,681 on initial forecasts Small

savings were evident across many areas, but the biggest saving was against “employment expenses ” and “depreciation” Staff changes during the year resulted in some savings and a change in the provisions for annual leave; whilst a revaluation of the building last year (and a reduction in value) has lowered the depreciation expense for 22/23 As you will see the expenditure coded as “High Performance” includes costs associated with the The Nationals and this is well up on the 2021/22 year “Club Development” expenditure includes the great Club Grants program of $40,000 which was introduced in this period

The operating outcome was a good achievement; the impact of the revaluations on the financial assets (the IOOF funds) due to a volatile market – down $16,965, resulting in a comprehensive loss for 22/23 at $23,583

The Auditors state in the Annual Report that the information Bowls WA are presenting is a “true and fair view” of its position as at 30th April 2023; and that Bowls WA have the capability to meet all its financial obligations Again, a good audit with very view qualifications or concerns Just as an aside, Bowls WA are no longer bound by the need to incur the expense of a full audit, but the Board feel it prudent and responsible to continue to have that rigour and accountability within its financial management processes –good protection for the members

The 2023/24 forecast position shows a projected loss of $26,800. A deficit that is manageable given a commitment to cost restraint and the expectation that distributions and dividend income may not fully rebound Affiliation fee increases in this period are 3%, with the income raised representing 52 6% of total income - a smaller reliance than other States and Territories.

The Government IIP 3-year support of $200,000 pa continues and although we strive hard to meet the requirements of government to see the level of support increase, funding of the Association is reassessed on a 3year basis Securing additional, and maintaining existing, sponsors is an annual goal but a very hard job A naming rights sponsor for the Perth Suns was a priority in this period and we are pleased to have Dyenamic Sublimination on board with additional support

BOWLS WA Reports - Finance

With the National Sides Series in WA this year the Association benefits from less ongoing costs such as player accommodation and support – a saving of around $30,000

Financial challenges continue for the Association with one of the big decisions to be made in the next few years being the refurbishment, replacement or some alternative for the main office in Osborne Park Ensuring we have an equitable and fair affiliation fee structure for our members is also something all the States grapple with and securing Government funds; grants and sponsorship dollars is paramount

In every other year during my tenure as Finance Director the forecasts have been difficult but with upside on the horizon All credit to Ken Pride as CEO, and his staff who have turned them around into a surplus, break-even position

The Association remains well-resourced due to previous restraint and good management which enables us to move forward with confidence, and at no risk to the Association

Thanks go to Liz Rolt in the office who manages the accounts with great care and accuracy; to Ken Pride and the staff; also, the Finance, Audit, Investment and Risk Committee who work diligently and in partnership to produce a sound financial outcome for the Association

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities is often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting year are:

(i) Estimation of useful lives of assets

The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once every year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary.

(ii) Revaluation of land and buildings

The Association uses valuation techniques in determining the fair value of the land and buildings This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the land and buildings

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value Net realisable value is the net selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and net selling costs

Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm ’ s length transaction) Valuations are performed whenever the Board believes there has been a material movement in the value of the assets, or at least every five years

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity through other comprehensive income (OCI) Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the related revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income; all other decreases are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset

BOWLS WA Reports - Financial Statements

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Property, plant and equipment (cont.)

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred

The cost of each item of property, plant and equipment is written off over its expected economic life, adjusted for any salvage value if applicable The depreciation rates used for each class of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

The depreciation methods used are Prime Cost for Buildings and Diminishing Value for all other classes. Assets of $300 or less are fully depreciated in the year they are purchased.

Decognition

An item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal

Impairment

Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Employee Entitlements

Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled and reported as current liabilities in the statement of financial position

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises revenue from affiliation fees, sale of goods, rental income, interest revenue and other income

(i) Affiliation fees

Revenue in relation to affiliation fees is recognised over the period the performance obligation is met

(ii) Sale of goods

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the control of goods passes to the customer

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Revenue Recognition (cont.)

(iii) Rental income

Rental income arising from agreements is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the agreement terms and included in revenue in profit or loss

(iv) Interest revenue

Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant year using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

(v) Grant income

Grant income for contracts with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied Grant income for contracts that do not have sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised immediately upon receipt

(vi)

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when the Association gains control, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably

GST

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except:

when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable, and receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included

Commitments are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority

Income taxes

The Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

Financial instruments

Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial instruments (cont.)

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets

The Association classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost

The classification depends on the Association’s business model for managing the financial assets and contractual terms of the cash flows

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Association has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)

All financial assets are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or finance income

Debt instruments

The Association’s debt instruments include trade receivables Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses)

Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss

Equity instruments

The Association’s equity instruments include listed and unlisted securities The Association subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Association’s right to receive payments is established

Impairment

The Association assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk

For trade receivables, the Association applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables

Comparative information

Comparative information has been restated where required for consistency with current year disclosures
