BOWLS WA REPORTS - CEO As with many organisations the past twelve months has seen great uncertainty within the sport in general, both on and off the green. However, as this report will detail Bowls in WA has weathered this very well with no significant disruptions felt, thanks in part to the stringent lockdown policies employed by Government.

However, an area that continues to perform extremely well given the improvements in the world’s economies are our investments via IOOF. Our managed funds now sit above $850,000, an improvement of 15.25% or $112,482 over 2019/2020. These investments will continue to underpin the sport in WA for many years to come, with a prudent, conservative policy on investment maintained. Ken Pride

This focus has I will divide this report of operations into the seen successful grants being received from the Department of Sport and Recreation which have four Strategic Pillars framed within the Bowls part funded the Winning Drive program.

In summary it has been a positive year – we have been lucky. Challenges remain and perhaps will Given limited resources it is the Association’s role remain so for a number of years, so the formation to present opportunities to at least get people to of a strong governance base will be critical for the club door.

What I do know however is what suited the “market” thirty years ago is not wanted by the prospective member today. There simply must be a change in thinking by club members and club officials to be open minded about the future “look” of the sport. Irrespective of personal preference we must all be mindful of those that will follow. Our membership has more than halved in just 30 years and the prognosis is for that to continue – why wouldn’t it if we continue to do the same thing each year? On a positive note, those within the game are seeing some great coaching and official’s initiatives, with on-line courses about to be launched which will greatly benefit our regional members. A Junior Development Committee has commenced in recent months, schools continue to be targeted as potential “startup” opportunities and our high-performance program for those within the sport is now streamlined, with obvious linked pathways from under 18 to over 60 levels. The continued development of the BWA Academy under the direction of Linda Warburton continued to “hone” players skill sets. In some ways we have been devoid of high-level

Over the last 12 months the CDC has continued to expand on several programs and initiatives developed in prior years. This is assisting the sport to be viewed as accessible to all ages and demographics aligning to the Bowls WA Vision for Bowls to be recognised as a sport of choice. GOTTA LOVE THE BOWLO

The Gotta Love the Bowlo moved into its fourth year of implementation with a radio campaign • Financial viability: Sound and accountable split over two periods. These were targeted in the peak times of bowls season from October to financial management, Cash flow and November 2020 and from January to February investment management; 2021 specifically designed to attract people • Membership recruitment: management to Clubs regardless of whether they are social members, casual participants, or competitors. 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 more we promote our Clubs to the wider communities the healthier the sport becomes and increases the strengths of Clubland. The decision to partner with our National body Bowls Australia’s media partner SEN proved a fruitful one as the campaign delivered $5,730 worth of bonus advertising. The CDC will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of this campaign with the prospect of using targeted digital marketing in the coming season as a priority.

At the stage of this report, the competition is halfway through, having played eight rounds over two Sundays with two more days to go with a further six rounds plus finals. The event has been successful in creating pressure for the players, having to compete in all disciplines in a meaningful competition with the best players in Western Australia. Looking forward to next season, the HighPerformance Committee will continue to look for ways to develop the talents of Western Australian players as we look to succeed at the National Side Series in October and beyond.

Pieter Harris HIGH PERFORMANCE

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FIXTURES & EVENTS As a volunteer group, the Fixtures & Events (F & E) committee, with the support of Bowls WA Competition and Talent Development Manager Pieter Harris, attempt to provide a structure to the WA bowling community by delivering a pennant Leonie Potts competition along with State Championships, Over 60’s events, Under 18 Championships, Country Weeks and various other major bowls events.

particular I would like to thank those clubs who offered greens late in the season for the Mixed State Pairs. I would like to note the continual difficulties to get sufficient venues to hold events. Should this continue, as a committee, we will need to look at different strategies.

The Bowls Management committee (BMC) is made up of another group of volunteers who represent bowlers throughout the State. They play an important role in considering recommendations made by the F & E committee before changes or decisions are implemented. The members of this committee form a vital connection with the bowling community of In order to do this, my committee dedicates which they are all members.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - GREENS & INFRASTRUCTURE Firstly, I would like to thank all the volunteers on the Bowls WA Greens and Infrastructure Committee and all the club personnel that we have been in contact with during the season for helping build a strong relationship between BWA staff, Jim Powell Clubs and inspection teams so that the greens are in the best condition for all their members and visitors. Volunteering, whether at Club or Association level is so important to the future of our sport, it must be celebrated along with succession plans put in to share the workload now and in the future.

Infrastructure Committee encourages all clubs who have had the experience of choosing surfaces and contractors to share their journey if contacted by other clubs. While Bowls WA can point clubs in a general direction and give general advice, it is only the clubs that have been on the journey of choosing surfaces and contractors, that can share firsthand the pitfalls along the way.

On top of this, synthetic greens that were installed over six/seven years ago are coming towards the end of their projected life expectancy. Many clubs will be starting to make decisions on when their surfaces will need to be replaced and what they should replace them with. The quality and number of different surfaces available has increased over the last ten years, so those clubs looking to replace greens also need to make sure they investigate For many metropolitan clubs, the 2020-2021 properly the surface best for them before final season started earlier with the requirement decisions are made. to complete the 2019-2020 Men’s Saturday Promotion Finals in September due to the While a couple of clubs had some difficulty early cancellation of the season due to Covid. with their grass and synthetic greens during For some grass clubs this meant having greens the season, only a couple of protests were available earlier than what they normally would received.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - UMPIRES Another year impacted by COVID and also a high turnover year for the Umpire’s Committee. Even with those challenges we were able to fulfil the responsibilities in the Umpires Committee charter, namely:

Pre-season Metro Pennants general laws and etiquette information sessions were trialled this year and have proven to be popular so will be continued next year. In addition to Bowls WA events some WA officials gave their time to assist at some Bowls Australia events held in other states. Peter Barnett

• Co-ordination and delivery of Umpire accreditation courses. [full numbers below] • Allocating Umpires for all required Bowls WA events despite the challenges of Covid caused changes to dates, • Maintaining accurate and up to date records • Developing a pathway for Umpires to progress their skills, • Responding to all communications, • Developing and renewing policies related to umpiring issues.

Pleased to report that during the year clubs that previously had insufficient accredited umpires to host Pennants increased their numbers to an acceptable level. The World Bowls accredited International Technical Officers assessment postponed last year because of Covid, went ahead in April with 2 of the 4 candidates achieving ITO accreditation.

During the year work continued by Bowls Australia and Bowls WA on the development of online training for both Coaches and Officials. This development is at the field trials stage so we can expect it to be rolled out in the coming Over 300 bowlers attended officiating courses year with particular benefits for country based resulting in 293 new or renewed accreditations potential umpires in that half of the new this year. Umpires course can be delivered online. New Umpires: 70 Metro & 62 Country New Measurers: 15 Metro & 6 Country Reaccredited Umpires: 55 Metro & 67 Country Reaccredited Measurers: 4 Metro & 4 Country New Presenters & Assessors: 1 Metro & 2 Country New International Technical Officers [ITO]: 2 Metro Reaccredited ITO: 1 Country

This year saw the completion of the transition to the new re-accreditation process for Umpires which has been well received. However, Bowls Australia offered Umpires an automatic one year extension to their accreditation, due to Covid disruptions, so some umpires who would have reaccredited this year have postponed to next year.

Lastly, I wish to thank the Committee members These numbers are sufficient to maintain and and others who have given up their time to run even improve the enjoyment of the game by training courses, officiate at state events, held having more competent officials. briefing sessions and attend meetings. Also This year saw the retirement from the committee thanks to the clubs who have provided venues of the Umpires chair, Mike Garratt, after many for these activities. years of service. Mike oversaw improvements in training courses, umpires career paths and policy development while providing extensive answers to questions on the Laws that came UMPIRES his way. We wish him “good bowling” in the years to come.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - INCLUSIVE PRACTICES 2020-21 was a year that nobody could have seen coming, with Covid-19 restrictions affecting many state and national events. Despite the unrest we still managed to stage our AllAbilities championships Denise McMillan with an impressive 48 entries – a 26% growth from the previous year and a whopping 118% growth from the first event held in 2015! And our Bowling Arm players managed to fit in two state events within one calendar year, since the 2020 event was postponed due to Covid and played in October 2020 along with the 2021 event playing in May - resulting in a new state champion!

completed its seventh year … and all the volunteers who made this happen! WA Bowling Arm players were in some ways lucky with two State Bowling Arm Championships – the postponed 2020 event and the 2021 State Bowling Arm Championships both being held in the 202021 calendar year! Each event brought increased numbers of bowling arm players forward, with a large country contingent. The 2020 State Arm Single Champion was Laurie Blurton for the second time – the only difference his home club changed from Bunbury to Eaton! The 2021 Champion is a fresh face from Bowls Safety Bay – congratulations to Bill Taylor for his inaugural win! A special mention to Warnbro Bowling Club who host the perpetual trophy for this great event!

Overall Bowling Arm Championship results for The 2021 State All Abilities Championships were 2020 and 2021: played in April at Kardinya Bowling Club with 48 participants – with new players in every category of Deaf, Intellectual and Physical Disability, and Vision Impairment. Bowls WA thanks all players for their participation, determination, and physical stamina and a special thank-you to Auslan Interpreter Tara Ulrich who volunteers her time to come to our Opening and Closing Ceremonies to provide Auslan to our Deaf Not all 2020-21 Bowling Arm news was good though, the 2020 National Bowling Arm Side Bowlers … this is an invaluable service! Championships, meant to be hosted in WA were cancelled, and with abrupt WA border closures continuing into 2021 it evolved that the 2021 event was moved to Tasmania! WA is looking forward to hosting this event for the first time at Warnbro Bowling Club from September 5th – 9th 2022.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCE We started the 2020/21 year projecting a large deficit (after depreciation) -$108,100, knowing we had capacity to see improvements during the year. We had anticipated some ongoing impacts of Lisa Featherby Covid 19 in that deficit with a reduction of members Affiliation fees and some loss of sponsorship but to see such a reversal of fortune in the last 12 months has been pleasing. The final outcome is a surplus for the year of $75,127. A great result for the Association.

perhaps a reduction in the Affiliation fees paid to Bowls Australia (down $39,264) given they calculate this payment “as a percentage of the Affiliation fees received by our member clubs”. At the time, the 20% Covid rebate was offered to our clubs we were unaware Bowls Australia would assist in this way. These changes resulted in a cash surplus (after depreciation) of $75,127. Along with the Cash surplus we have also benefited from the rebound in the investment markets. Surprisingly, and after some very stressful moments early in the Covid pandemic the IOOF investment has increased to $800,349.

In adding the Fair Value Gain on the financial assets ($63,950) to the cash surplus we can The reasons for the improvement revolve see the overall asset growth for the year at around the increase in income, as well as $139,077. cost reductions.

The biggest impact

As an Association we have worked hard to reduce the reliance purely on member Affiliation Fees and balance our income sources with Government support (IIP funding) and Grants and Sponsorship. In a normal year (2020) Affiliation fees were 51% of total income; Grants and Sponsorship 26%. For this coming season member Affiliation fees will return to normal, again based on players within a club that have “playing rights”, calculated to achieve the required total income of $749,199 spread between the Country and Metro areas. The Metro total will increase by 1% but Country fees as a total will remain unchanged on the 2019/20 figure.

of the game. We need to emphasise the importance of the “local Bowlo” and the social and competition aspect of the sport of Lawn Bowls to everyone, existing and new members, and support our member Clubs in every way possible during these challenging times. The Association remains well resourced and has to date managed the difficulties of Covid 19 well, benefiting from Government support and the significant reduction in costs associated with the cancelling of the National Sides etc. However, a return to “normal” will be welcomed and if that results in a deficit outcome for a short period then we can be thankful for previous restraint and careful management which enables us to move forward with confidence, and at no risk to the Association.

The Government IIP support of $180,000 continues into its final year of the 3-year funding commitment and we have anticipated similar levels of sponsorship with Blooms the Chemist, BCIB, Dyenamic Sublimation, Liquor Thanks go to Liz Rolt in the office who Traders and the Seniors Recreation Council, manages the accounts with great care and $97,500 in total. accuracy; to Ken Pride and the staff; also, the The final result a forecast deficit budget of Audit, Risk and Finance Committee who work $65,820. diligently and in partnership to produce a sound financial outcome for the Association. Unfortunately, since this budget was approved by the Board there have already been some negative pressures evident, in particular the renegotiation of the contract with Blooms the Chemist and the potential loss of all or part of their sponsorship. The relationship has been great and mutually beneficial to both parties but sponsorship dollars are hard to find and hard to secure into the long term. This is an area that needs considerable work and finding alternative sponsors remains a priority within our Strategic Plan. In every other year during my tenure as Finance Director the forecasts have been difficult but with plenty of upside on the horizon. All credit to Ken Pride as CEO, and his staff who have turned them around into valuable surplus outcomes. This year however that appears more troublesome unless sponsorship can be secured elsewhere. However, it is not a time to cut costs on important areas such as Staffing, Club Development or the Marketing FINANCE & AUDIT

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Naz Randeria, Managing Director Chartered Accountant Registered Company Auditor SMSF Specialist AuditorTM

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF THE ROYAL WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BOWLING ASSOCIATION INC. Opinion We have audited the financial report of The Royal Western Australian Bowling Association Inc. (‘the Association’), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 April 2021, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies and the declaration by the Members of the Board. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report gives a true and fair view of the financial position of the Association as at 30 April 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Act 2015 and the Australian Accounting Standards to the extent described in Note 2 to the financial report. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Association in accordance with the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (‘the Code’) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Emphasis of Matter – Basis of Accounting We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial report, which describes the basis of accounting. The financial report has been prepared to assist the Association’s Members of the Board to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2015. As a result, the financial report may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. Responsibilities of Members of the Board for the Financial Report Members of the Board are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and have determined that the basis of preparation as described in Note 2 to the financial report is appropriate to meet the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2015. The Members of the Board’s responsibility also includes such internal control as Members of the Board determine is necessary to enable the preparation of a financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, Members of the Board are responsible for assessing the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Members of the Board either intend to liquidate the Association or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Members of the Board are responsible for overseeing the Association’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: •

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Association’s internal control.

•

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Members of the Board.

•

Conclude on the appropriateness of Members of the Board’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Association to cease to continue as a going concern.

•

Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit Reliance Auditing Services
