Peter Apostolopolous, Clubs SA CEO
Launching the Club Development Program I trust this message finds you well, and I hope that each one of you had a lovely Christmas and a wonderful start to the New Year. As we step into 2024, I am thrilled to share some significant initiatives that will help deliver services and insights for our industry.
There are four key elements of the Club Development Program – the foundation module, specialised workshops and webinars, regional meetings and regional roadshows and the annual Clubs and Community Awards.
You may be aware of the current reform underway of the Association's Incorporations Act 1985, this presents a perfect opportunity for us to strengthen our commitment to excellence in Club governance and Clubs SA will soon launch our Club Development Program. The Program is designed to improve and develop the governance and leadership of licenced and unlicenced Clubs throughout South Australia.
All Board or Committee members and Club Managers will be encouraged to complete the Club Governance 101 Foundation Module. Board or Committee members and key staff will then continue with further skills development aligned to the specific requirements of their role.
Clubs must continually make adjustments to their governance and operations in the face of increasingly complex legal environments and in line with their available resources and community and industry expectations. The roll out of the program will commence on Tuesday 27th February at Hockey SA, where you will get the chance to hear an update from the Clubs SA team, our advisory partners, as well as our Corporate Partners TABCorp, Insurance Advisernet and Stoddart.
Our commitment to serving you extends beyond governance. We are dedicated to enhancing and expanding the services, resources, and information available to our members and our goal is to provide the support and tools necessary for your clubs to thrive in every operational aspect. In addition to these initiatives, I would like to draw your attention to some exciting trends and opportunities that can benefit your clubs in 2024. These include:

Personalised offerings via push notifications As QR code order-to-table options has grown in recent years, so has a venues ability to capture a customer’s data. Moving through 2024, there will be opportunities to combine this data with geofencing to directly send targeted and tailored offers to your customers. You may be able to send push notifications directly to your customer’s phone. Ticketed events Feedback from industry shows, that if customers are paying a lot for an event they tend to drink less; charging less for tickets can increase spends over the bar. $15-$20 tickets are the sweet spot; customers can enjoy quality entertainment and ensure spends are high.
Work and play Diversify your venue by offering free wifi and catering to business use, ensuring great food and coffee is available as professionals make use of hybrid working conditions. Brand alliances & collaborations Seek alliances with brands that help drive traffic and increase dwell times within the venue, check out our list of corporate partners that can help revolutionise your venue Thank you for your continued support and partnership with Clubs SA. We look forward to the exciting opportunities and growth that lie ahead for our community in 2024.

Saying farewell
to a respected industry partner, in Steve Markham. Steve has been a key player within the SA Gaming Services Landscape over the past 7 years, as Customer Relationship Manager at MAX Technical Services. Prior to this tenure, Steve also held a relationship management with “Sky” and was also a well know publican within the market. Over the years, Steve had built professional, respected, and solid relationships with Venue Operators, Boards, Managers and Staff as well as manufacturers and suppliers to the industry. Clubs SA and MAX Technical Services (Tabcorp) would like to take this opportunity to recognise one of our own and wish him every success as he moves into his next chapter. Thankyou for all your efforts Steve, you will be missed! “It has been a pleasure working with you all, over the years and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you every success in the future, both at business and personal levels. This was not an easy decision to make as I thoroughly enjoy my role I have at MAX, however I had the opportunity to purchase a property in Port Lincoln and decided it was too good an opportunity to miss, so I have decided to relocate there full time and chill a little . It has been a great pleasure to get to know or reacquaint with you all over the last 7 years with MAX/Tabcorp. I’m sure it won’t be the last time many of us catch up again Rest assured, your MAX Support and IMAC services will continue as “Business as usual”.” Steve Markham

“As General Manager of the Para Hills Community Club we have had MAX as our Gaming maintenance and service provider for several years. They also attend to any technical need for TAB & Lotteries terminals. To me they have been extremely effective in their service delivery. Their staff are courteous and communicate effectively with venue staff. They also give us the heads up if any part that needs replacing is a larger cost item, so we have the option to make an informed decision. In the event of planning a room reconfiguration or any ancillary requirements their Customer Relationship Manager is extremely obliging and helpful in assisting the Venue as required. Based on our experience we gladly recommend this company to other venues.” Cameron Taylor

FIND THE GRANTS YOU NEED WITH GRANT WATCH Occasionally members will contact us about potential grants that could assist their club with things such as recruitment, infrastructure and repairs. In order to assist members with potential grants that are on offer Clubs SA has created a new page on its website called “Grant Watch” where grants and other funding that could be of interest to clubs will be listed. This page can be accessed under the Membership tab on the Clubs SA website as shown below:
In addition Clubs SA members will continue to be notified of major grants by bulletin or on social media where deemed necessary. Whilst we will endeavour to keep this page updated and to include potentially relevant grants, members need to carefully look at any eligibility criteria and what requirements it may impose. Members are also advised that this may not be a complete list of all the grants that may be applicable to a club in South Australia. There are a number of other free sites where a club can search for potential grants including but not limited to the below: GrantConnect Business.gov - Grants Office for Small & Family Business - Grant Programs Office for Recreation, Sport & Racing - Grants Clubs can also approach their local councils to see what grants or funding they may have on offer now or in the future.

Clubs SA is very pleased to share news that we have welcomed Country Racing SA (CRSA) to our fold. CRSA has joined with a Group Membership of their 24 Clubs, coming together under the one umbrella. Country Racing South Australia represents the interests of country clubs around SA in strategic matters for the advancement of the racing industry.

These extend from Penong in the west, Roxby Downs in the north, Mount Gambier in the South East and everywhere in between, including over the water on Kangaroo Island!

I particularly look forward to many years of joint support for our clubs to gain assistance in key areas such as Governance and Liquor Licencing. CRSA and all our member clubs are delighted to be accepted as members of Clubs SA”.

OAKBANK Needing no introduction, the Oakbank Racing Club has a rich history in the Adelaide Hills. The Club was established in 1875 and boasts one of the world’s largest picnic race meets, the Easter Racing Carnival, which has historically been held on Easter Saturday and Monday.

PENOLA Penola is one of the oldest racing clubs in the south east of South Australia. While race meetings in the mid 1800s were relatively informal affairs, Penola is attributed with holding the first official meeting in the state. These days, the Club usually hosts 4 meetings annually. The Club has a warmth and a charm about it like few others and combines its heritage and tradition with more recently added modern buildings beautifully.
PENONG The tiny township of Penong is located 73 km west of Ceduna, 543 km from Port Augusta and 854 km northwest of Adelaide. It is a small wheatbelt settlement which is characterised by literally dozens of windmills which pump the local water supply from a large underground basin. With one race meeting each year, March is a bustling time for the Club, with working bees and all hands on deck before race day to get the place ready. It’s a great time for the community to come together with fashion parades and ‘human’ racing.

NEW LEGISLATION
SMOKE-FREE & VAPE-FREE OUTDOOR AREAS Rhys Braybrook, Workplace Relations & Policy Manager
Members are advised that the State Government has recently made changes to smoking legislation including new regulations that seek to reduce the passive exposure of tobacco smoke and e-cigarette aerosol in outdoor areas. The Tobacco and E-Cigarette Products (Smoking bans) Amendment Regulations 2023 have specified a number of outdoor areas that will be required to be smoke and vapefree from 1 March 2024. The changes will be of most relevance to sporting clubs. Smoking and vaping will be banned in all public areas at or within 10 metres of a sporting venue at times when an under-18 years sporting event is occurring. Additionally this will also apply during a training or practice session to prepare to participate in an under-18 years sporting event. An “organised underage sporting event” means a sporting event e.g. a match, game, tournament or other event that involves playing sport that: Is planned in advance; and is organised or intended for, or predominantly participated in by, persons under 18 years of age; and is conducted according to established rules by a professional or amateur sporting body or by an educational institution; and
KEEPING IN TOUCH - FEBRUARY 2024
may be a one-off event or part of a series of events. Sporting venue includes any part of a public place at which a sporting event occurs e.g. a playing field, track, clubroom, seating areas around this etc. Additionally non-residential building entry points (any entrance or exit from a place) to a public space and within 10 meters of these entry points will also be required to be smoke and vape-free. Importantly though for clubs, these new laws do not apply to entry points to buildings that lead directly to a licensed area. Accordingly clubs would only have to enforce this if they had an entry point on their premises that led directly to an unlicensed area. The legislation also specifies that the occupier of a public area to which these requirements will apply must place signs in the relevant area setting out the smoke and vape-free areas. They must be in such numbers and positions as to be likely to be seen by persons within the area. Downloadable, print-ready versions of a range of signs can be accessed on this site. Free A5 stickers can also be ordered. Further information on the new requirements can be found in this guide.

RESOURCES
POSITIVE DUTY TO PREVENT WORKPLACE SEXUAL HARASSMENT, SEX DISCRIMINATION & VICTIMISATION Rhys Braybrook, Workplace Relations & Policy Manager
Clubs that have one or more employees have a positive duty to prevent workplace sexual harassment, sex discrimination & victimisation from occurring at their workplace under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth). Purely volunteer run clubs whilst not being covered by this positive duty will still have a duty of care to its volunteers to prevent harassment and discrimination from occurring under the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 (SA). The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) now has enforcement provisions in place in legislation to allow them to force compliance via issuing notices and going to court to have these enforced. As such it is even more important for clubs to look to be compliant.
Equal Opportunity Commission SA – Discrimination Training Fair Work Commission - “Workplace Sexual Harassment” Module Respect@Work Website SafeWork SA – Sexual Harassment Sporting clubs can also consider signing up for a free 90 minute education program through the South Australian Office for Women called Raiise. This program covers respectful behaviour and equality towards women in sport and more information on this program can be accessed here. Clubs are advised though that a limited number of sessions are available.
In trying to meet these new obligations clubs will have to be more proactive and take “reasonable and proportionate” measures to discharge their duty. When determining what is reasonable and proportionate things such as the size, resources and the nature of a business will be considered. To assist clubs with meeting these obligations below are some useful websites that contain information and free training videos on this topic:
KEEPING IN TOUCH - FEBRUARY 2024
PAGE 31
Members are also advised that the above links and further templates to assist with meeting this obligation and other WHS duties can be found on Clubs SA’s members only site on the Work Health & Safety page. Where staff have undertaken any training on sexual harassment, discrimination or victimisation a club should keep a record to serve as evidence. Additionally should these matters be raised in any workplace meetings then a record should be maintained.
KEEPING IN TOUCH - FEBRUARY 2024
As well as considering training, be it online and/or face to face, a club should also ensure that it has a clear and appropriate procedure for where people can raise concerns. This can be included in an appropriate policy and clubs should ensure staff are aware of this and know who they can report to should they be unable to go to their manager. Having written material like posters outlining that the club will not tolerate harassment, discrimination or victimisation could also be of assistance in meeting requirements.
