CEO REPORT Karen Giles Clubs WA CEO
Dear Member, I am very lucky to have been able to once again kick-start the year off with regional meetings. I love attending these meetings, as apart from being able to check in with clubbies across the state, it gives me perspective on the impact that government legislation has in local areas. Over January and February, I met with club representatives from the Great Southern, Esperance and Surrounds and Peel regions. A common thread from all these meetings has been the increased pressure on compliance as well as long term succession planning for club committees. This time last year I was reporting that there was a Bill being introduced to amend the Liquor Control Act, which if passed would allow more flexibility for our clubs.
longstanding members who naturally resist change, particularly when they do not see any direct benefit to them. A good place to start with creating a more positive club culture is to promote your current strengths, whether this is with business practices or the team you have working/volunteering for your club. One effective way to do this is by being involved in the Clubs WA Awards for Excellence program. Becoming a finalist in the Awards is a significant achievement and can be used to promote your club to new members as well as reinforce your importance to your existing members. As a member-based organisation ourselves, Clubs WA knows all too well how unaware some members are of the services we provide!
The Awards program is also a great opportunity to As you are all aware, it is pleasing to see that all the thank your team and let them get the recognition changes we advocated for have now gone through. they deserve. Being not-for-profit, we all rely heavily These changes have provided clubs with red tape on the work of our volunteers as well as staff, who relief. In particular, being able to amend club more times than not are volunteering extra hours constitutions without RGL prior approval has been on top of paid work. One of the best moments of greatly received. (A reminder though that you still our Awards night is seeing all the volunteer finalists need to submit amended constitutions to Consumer with their framed certificates up on the stage, getting Protection within one month of your general meeting) their deserved recognition. The ability for clubs in regional areas to now be able to cater for tourists has greatly benefited both the clubs and the local economy. It was fantastic to see quite a few clubs already using the Visitor’s Register during the school holidays and feedback has been that there have been no complaints from tourists having to sign the register or pay a fee. In fact, a few clubs have managed to increase their social membership from tourists being able to visit their club!
An easy and rewarding place for you to dip your toes into the Awards program would be with our new Road Safety award – which comes with a $10,000 cash prize to the winning club. All you need to do is work the road safety message into an upcoming event to be eligible. For more information on this and the other award categories, please contact Sam in the office on 1300 640 616 or email events@clubswa.com.au.
Another important way clubs can plan for the future Best wishes, is by working on their relevance and reputation. This is fundamental for working on the culture of change within your club. Feedback from many clubs has Karen Giles focused on the clash between what the club needs to do to prepare for the future and the concerns of 3

2019 505 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SUMMARY RICK STEUART - FREMANTLE SAILING CLUB Fremantle as the port city of Perth in Western Australia has a rich heritage of seafaring and the fabled Freo Doctor, the sea breeze that comes in around noon during summer played its part in this regatta. How do you tell a story of a world championship in a fleet that abounds in world champions? Easy; ignore them. As an outsider, asked to step up, my only choice was to evaluate what I saw on and off the water. That meant looking and listening to every presentation and talking to people who were there. What did I see? A mature and well-developed association/fleet that has a wonderful coherence, one where a competitor, the current leader at the time, broke his centre board and his main competition sent their coach boat back to the beach and returned in time with a spare centreboard to allow his competitor to continue sailing. A fleet where young and old mingle easily, where the mid fleet performers are celebrated as well as the winners. Gender is no barrier with male and female crews melding well and the girls putting up great performances despite the weight disadvantage on a heavy day. The world champions were already named by the end of the fourth day and Mike Martin and Adam Lowry of the West Coast of USA were content to pack their boat on the final day and leave the field open for some champagne sailing on the last day. 8
This allowed the fleets to sail to their maxima and former world champions USA’s Mike Holt and Carl Smit took away second by 2 points from up and coming Parker Shinn and Eric Anderson also of the USA. It’s no secret that these teams all hail from the west coast, train together and are used to the big sea breezes that boom in on the coast. Their sailing reflects that and it’s a point to observe that the top Australian pair was local sailors. Peter Nicholas and Luke Payne took a well deserved fourth overall and owe their success to a degree to their time spent on the water off Fremantle. The Classic fleets had a great result when Swedes Galen Mack and Wilhelm Johannisson took the win from Aussies Neil Long and David Atwell with RSA’s Bronwen Klaas and Kobus Holtzhausen in third place. In the Australian Nationals, run concurrently with the Worlds, Peter Nicholas and Luke Payne took the win from big improvers Chris Patterson and Thor Schoenhoff with Sandy Higgins and Paul Marsh taking third. Fremantle Sailing Club and the host of volunteers, both on and off the water should be commended on their hard work to make this world championship a success and the tremendous roll up of visiting sailors from around the globe shows how well this class is loved. The three or four hundred guests in the Sunset Bar on Monday presentations night roared with approval at the crowning of the new Word champions Mike Martin and Adam Lowry, and
listened in fascination to the tales spun by engineer and sailor par excellence Mike Martin of the time and work put into getting there. Apparently for the first time, Adam’s family accompanied him and the chirp of his daughter reminding all and sundry “that’s my daddy” rang through the crowd near the stage. The Freo doctor may well be described as relentless in its’ force as was described on day three, but we were blessed with five days of great sailing in breezes that stretched from light to medium strong. Suitable for testing every aspect of the assembled fleet of 90 yachts. The 505 World Championships now moves to Bastad in Sweden in July-August 2020, and the Swedish summer welcomes all to this south western coastal area.

Fundraising for Clubs and Associations FRANCIS A JONES - DANIEL PAPAPHOTIS
Clubs and Associations may get by for a while relying on just one or two sources of income, but to ensure your Club or Association survives and thrives in the long-term, you need to be drawing income from as many sources as possible.
Pillar 2 - Donations
OUR TIP: For each fundraising initiative or event that you put in place, try to incorporate activities from some of the other pillars as well. For example, if you are running a trivia night, set up a stall to sell your organisation’s merchandise, conduct a raffle, and always make sure that programs or invitations have a donation form attached as well as information on how people can become members.
Getting donations is a matter of ensuring you have the right administration processes in place, being clear from the outset about what you would like to do with any donations you receive, and learning the right way to ask.
Smaller groups often think it’s too hard or they’re not worthy enough to get donations. That’s not true – if you have supporters, then you can have donors.
Pillar 3 - Crowdfunding
Crowdfunding is an online fundraising campaign for a specific project. It differs from traditional fundraising in a number of ways, but the most significant is the importance of setting a target: The fundraiser Pillar 1 - Grants sets a target, people pledge an amount – usually in exchange for some form of reward, but sometimes Grants are a very important source of funds for most just as a straight donation – and the amount pledged/ not-for-profits. donated is remitted to the fundraiser only if the A grant is a sum of money given to organisations for target is reached. a specified purpose directed at achieving goals and It takes energy and creativity, but it can bring in muchobjectives consistent with the aims and policies of needed funding and attract a whole new audience of the grants body.

But the fundraising organisation. potential is also important. Every Club or Association needs to explore the following seven pillars of fundraising:
14
Pillar 5 – Events
Pillar 7 – Community – Business Partnerships/ Sponsorships Special fundraising events are the lifeblood of many not-for-profit groups, though they can take a lot of time and energy to be truly profitable.
Some examples of the types of special events that make for popular not-for-profit fundraisers include: • Car-boot sales • Fetes and festivals • Trivia nights • Fashion parades • Talent contests • Art shows • Balls, dances and discos • Film nights • Games nights • Progressive dinners • Various ‘athons - walkathon, runathon, readathon, skipathon, etc. • Sponsored record attempts • Themed weeks (Movember, FebFast) are becoming a more prominent type of special events fundraising.
Pillar 6 – Sales Almost every not-for-profit organisation has a number of items or services it can exchange for much-needed revenue.
Creating a successful community-business partnership brings benefits to both the business and the not-for-profit involved, and often for the wider community as well. Sponsorships are just one type of communitybusiness partnership.
Other models include: • Volunteering, involving individual employees or groups, skilled or unskilled labour • Financial donations, as a one-off, or through an ongoing employee donation scheme, regular staff collections, or sponsorship of a particular program or activity • In-kind donations, involving donation of goods or services • Pro-bono or discounted services and products, involving donated or cut-price contribution of skills, knowledge or experience • Offering no interest debentures to members to raise funds for a future capital purpose • Sharing/donation of premises/infrastructure, including office space, meeting space, or storage space

Money raised through this method is generally untied money – people have already paid for what they want; they don’t expect anything else from you. That means you can use the fundraising dollars raised through this method for pretty much whatever you want. 15

The Western Australian Golf Club –
90th Birthday Celebration
THE WESTERN AUSTRALIA GOLF CLUB - LAUREN CHAPLIN On a balmy Spring evening, where the jacaranda flowers were in full bloom and the sky painted a thousand colours before sunset, the mood was set for a nostalgic night to reminisce on yesteryear. On the 2nd November 1928, the Western Australian Golf Club held is first official AGM and on this night in 2018, 90 years to the day, members, their guests and special attendees celebrated in true 1920’s style!
a time warp filled with decorations, mood lighting and music that were reminiscent of a time where it all began!
Metro Big Band started the evening with a 17 piece set and three classically trained singers to create ambiance and excitement! Paired with the ensemble were graceful dancers who were on hand to encourage the members onto the dance floor, Upon arrival, the Club’s President and Lady President however the members did not need much enticing, waited at the foot of the stairs to greet every guest they were there to celebrate and celebrate is just for a pre-dinner drink with a glisten in their eyes what they did! knowing that once peering around the corner onto The 160 guests enjoyed a two course sit down dinner the balcony, what a treat everyone would receive! with premium beverage selection and who can forget The theme for the night was 1920’s and nostalgia is about the 90th Birthday cake for dessert! Ruby’s what was delivered with a 1920’s vintage car waiting Patisserie did not disappoint, spoiling everyone with to be viewed for photos, test drives and appreciation a white chocolate mud cake that was a sweet tooth’s at the very least! The Planning Committee left no delight! And who better to nominate with the honour stone unturned by enlisting in a local stylist team, of cutting the commemorative cake than the longest Vintage Illusion, who transformed the Clubhouse into serving member in attendance of the Club, Paul Ross

who was joined by the youngest member of the Club, George Barclay, a thoughtful gesture that symbolised where the Club has come from, and where the future may lie. The Club President, Mark Rice addressed the guests noting that although it was not a requirement for attendees to dress in 1920’s theme, but for all the members to do this showed to him how proud, enthusiastic and willing everyone was to display an ode to a time that would have presented many challenges, however also hope for the future for the Club and for golf.
A small token and one that will be treasured for guests, was that each person received a special 90th Birthday engraved ball marker, a small reminder for days out on the course that may prove to be challenging, yet a reminder to beam with pride!. Upon reflection of the evening, all that can be said was that the Club brought people together from all backgrounds, walks of life and expectations to place any differences aside to embrace a mutual feeling of pride and accomplishment of what a wonderful Club The Western Australian Golf Club is and will continue to be for many years to come.
Lady President Lorenz Thornton (who was also on the Planning Committee), received countless messages, calls and emails saying to her that it was the best night they had ever had at the Club! Lorenz noting now that her biggest challenge would be how to top this event for the 100th anniversary!

Clubs WA Interns We’d like to introduce you to two new interns here at Clubs WA.
Peter Mazanec
Scott McMahon
My name is Peter, and I am a writing coordinator as part of the internship program at Clubs WA. A little about me, I am currently Studying Journalism and Public Relations at Curtin University and am in my final semester. I have a passion for writing and hope to work in the Not-for-Profit sector because I love supporting a good cause.
Hi all, I’m the new graphic designer here at Clubs WA. I started in December 2018 and I’ve since been busy putting together a lot of the graphics for our marketing efforts. Since starting I also compiled the Clubs WA 2019 calendar, and have since started work on the bi-monthly bulletin (this issue).
The internship program at Clubs WA has been a fantastic learning experience and has given me the opportunity to meet many wonderful people in the Club industry. Putting together the Service Bulletin has given me the chance to do what I love to do for a good cause while learning new skills. A highlight for me so far was attending the Clubs WA Sundowner and taking photos for the event. There was a great atmosphere, lovely people and I had great fun playing photographer! In the coming year, I look forward to working with and meeting the people who make the Club Industry such a great place to be.
Over the past few years I’ve studied Communication Studies and more recently a diploma of Graphic Design. I’m big on music, and have a passion for playing and teaching guitar. I’m excited about what the future will bring at Clubs WA and am glad to be a part of the team here. I hope to do some good work here for the organisation, hone my skills and gain valuable experience.
