North Ballarat Football Club | 128th Annual Report 1 1/12/10 8:58:29 AM

Club Overview We are strong believers that we have a responsibility and, indeed a duty, to our community.

The Year That Was Who would have thought? Our third successive VFL flag, our third Liston Medallist, Coach of the Year (again) etc. etc. As many have reflected, it is hard to believe! These team and individual successes underline that our club has, over generations, put down solid foundations on which success both on and off field can be achieved.

It is trite to say that success doesn’t just happen. Occasionally one can get lucky, but sustained success is built upon the development and adherence to our core philosophies and values. Striving for excellence in all that we do. Honouring and being respectful to our history.

Maturing of Support We are strong believers that we have a responsibility and, indeed a duty, to our community. We have a responsibility to the competitions in which we participate. We have responsibilities and obligations to our members, sponsors, partners and supporters. As a club we have had to earn our respected position in the football world from our very

early days. We believe that the support for our club has matured in recent years. No longer is there merely a sense of acceptance but now a real sense of being respected and embraced. We are a very important institution in our city and region. The respect that we are paid by the City of Ballarat, the University of Ballarat, the Selkirk Group of Companies, the North Melbourne Football Club, and so on, is a testimony to what we have sought to do and what we have achieved as a club. These factors are critical to what then translates into both on and off field success.

Achievements Elsewhere in this report is a record of team and individual success.

We emphasise our third flag since joining the VFL in 1996. Our third Liston Medallist in Steve Clifton. Our state representatives including our coach. Our team of the year representatives and, as we go to print, the drafting of Cameron Richardson who epitomises the “One Club” philosophy that we embrace. North Ballarat Rebels played finals football and saw the emergence of a talented group

that will doubtless be drafted, some already taken as priority draftees to Greater West Sydney. We give thanks to Glen Wilkins who has retired from the coaching position and welcome his successor David Loader.

With the North Juniors and North City we similarly thank Simon Payne for his time as coach and welcome Robbie Waters the new coach of North Ballarat City. We also record the ongoing success of our junior programmes, and the continued improvement of North Ballarat City.

Spider Shaune Maloney deserves a special place in the history of our club.

Spider’s playing record is outstanding but of greater importance is the man himself and the contribution he has made to the fabric of our club. He is an outstanding young man enjoying success not only in his football but in his teaching career. He has been the spirit and conscience of our playing group and that influence has extended to the broader club. People of his quality do not come along all that frequently and we are fortunate that during our period in history he did.

Infrastructure Development 2010 saw us back on Eureka Stadium following its rebuild. We were also back on the refurbished “Number 2 oval”. Thanks to the Federal and State governments for their funding, also to the City of Ballarat for its funding and support, and also to the AFL. We also saw the construction of the new netball court and again thank the Federal government and the City Council for that development.

We are also to be the beneficiaries of a million dollar grant from the State Government which will see further infrastructure development at Eureka Stadium which will enhance our football facilities, not only for our own use, but for the broader football community and, hopefully, for AFL pre season games. We are committed to continuous development at Eureka Stadium.

There is much still to be done to ensure that we achieve our strategic objectives whilst of course there remains the challenges to manage our club finances in the interests of the club and its members.

Thanks What is perhaps not fully appreciated is the significant numbers of people involved in our club. Literally hundreds of people, most of them volunteers, devote their time and energy to all parts of our club. Whether that be at AusKick, Juniors, Ballarat League, Rebels, Roosters, Women’s Football, Disabled Football or Netball. The list goes on. We could not operate without all of those people. On behalf of the club we acknowledge and thank you for that support. We are also very well served by our paid staff. Whether they be full time, part time or sessional, in both Sports club and Football club we have a highly professional and committed staff. Finally, to those involved in the governance of our club, our boards and committees, our grateful thanks for your contributions.

P R Wilson Chairman

Mark Patterson Chief Executive Officer

Gaming Last year we had taken up pre auction entitlements and we are now able to report our success in the auction process. Thanks must go particularly to Marius Van Gerrevink and Tim Bodey who worked hard, and continue to do so, in the business operations of our club.

Strategic Directions During the later part of the year the club went through an extensive reconsideration of our strategic intent. We have a revised vision that sees us aspiring to be “The premier community club.” Our mission, to create an environment of excellence and our value system says that we value our people, our members and our community and we do that by being inclusive, working as a team, showing leadership and innovation, acknowledging our traditions and behaving with respect, integrity and professionally.

Governance We also aspire in the future to continue down the path of remerging our football clubs and sports club into one corporate entity. We have now developed a strong governance model with improved lines of communication and accountability across the club as a whole.

Marketing Report It is an exciting period for the Club and we have a fantastic opportunity to grow both on and off-field. The marketing department will strive to implement new initiatives and capitalise on commercial opportunities.

New Initatives It is pleasing that the Club has successfuly introduced new initatives which have been supported and embraced by it’s members, supporters, financial partners and the Ballarat community in Season 2010. All of these initatives have further enhanced the North Ballarat “Brand” in the community and have also assisted in further financial benefit to the Club.

A fantastic effort and involvement with engaging our local community.

Business Partners A focus this year has been to build current relationships with partners and assist with growing their businesses through our “Brand”. It is also very pleasing to have experienced further growth with many new partners joining and existing partners upgrading their partnership categories.

Head Coach Report Note of Thanks In late 1997 Allan Abrams (retiring club President) passed the baton to Peter Wilson. Allan had successfully managed the clubs’ transition from the Ballarat Football League to the Victorian Football League. Allan is to be congratulated for his wisdom and vision in recommending a person of Peter’s quality. A great decision was made that had a significant impact on the club’s journey.

Peter has provided outstanding governance and leadership since 1998. He is a highly respected person in the community of Ballarat and in the AFL Victoria fraternity. Peter has set a very high standard as Chairman and so much of our success in recent years is attributed to Peters’ vision, leadership and wisdom.

As a mentor and friend I thank him for his support.

Generally, I would take the opportunity to thank and acknowledge the support of the Board of Directors, the full time staff (especially Mark Patterson, Marg Richards and Heath Wallace) the coaching group, support staff and volunteers.

One of my great delights in my role as Head Coach is working with people of the highest calibre who genuinely know their role, play their role and take responsibility for their role.

Well done and thanks.

Club Model Many thanks to all concerned who have helped the club develop a fantastic model that has been successful, is sustainable and can be further developed.

In 2010 from our list of 50 players 7 things are worth noting: 1. 58% (29 players) are undertaking study • 22 at the University of Ballarat 2. 3 are University of Ballarat graduates 3. 14 are either doing an apprenticeship or are now fully trade qualified 4. 68% (34) are ex TAC Cup – including 46% (23) from the North Ballarat Rebels 5. 27 have relocated to Ballarat 6. 4 are undertaking a “GAP” year 7. The average age is 21 years, 4 months Moreover, the successful premiership team of 2010 consisted of 1. 15 ex TAC Cup players 2. 5 local football club players • (3 from Redan FC, 21 from North City football club, 1 from Lake Wendouree football club) 3. 2 from interstate If you have assisted the Club in creating this outstanding model (which is unique to our club) we thank you. We are all very proud of our player development model at our club.

Club Culture Congratulations to our leadership group of 2010 and thanks for your outstanding contribution to the Club’s successful culture.

At the conclusion of the pre season the playing group voted for the players who best “behaved and actioned” the values and principles of the playing group these players were Shaune Moloney, Marc Greig, Dan Feery, Orren Stephenson, Myles Sewell, Matt Sharkey and Steve Clifton.

We proudly (and successfully) follow a Leading Teams model at our club and I greatly appreciate Roy McLean’s contribution to our club’s culture and John McClure for his role as co-ordinator of the leadership group.

Season 2010 In 21 games we won 18 and lost 3 (by a margin of 32 points in total).

We were the best defensive team in the competition (VFL) and our premiership success was again built on our defensive platform.

(Overall we were rated the 6th best team offensively, although in the finals we were well above average offensively).

Regarding our KPI processes we were successful in 1. amount of ball won 2. efficiency of ball use 3. ball movement from stoppages 4. points for and points against 5. effort (one percenters) especially tackling 6. discipline free kicks for compared with free kicks against In the grand final we were successful in all of our KPI except 2. A very strong endorsement of our KPI process system.

Congratulations to the playing group of 2010. Despite the departure of 10 premiership players from 2009, the team played with enormous self belief, the group set high standards and expectations and were keen to build on and enhance the culture from previous successful years.

In the grand final, three of our best six players did not play in the premiership team in 2009. The group of 2011 needs to be inspired by the example of those three, namely Derick Micallef, Nick Peters and Cam Richardson.

Conclusion In closing, on premiership in 2010 placed on club alongside 3 other VFA/VFL teams who had won three successive premierships – Sandringham, Port Melbourne and Williamstown.

Importantly, we now have the opportunity to achieve HISTORY, no VFA/VFL club has one 4 successive premierships.

In order to be successful we must all remind ourselves of the importance of “knowing your role, playing your role and taking responsibility for your role, to be the best of your ability”.

See you in 2011 !

Gerard FitzGerlad Head Coach of North Ballarat Football Club

Rebels’ Report As the 2010 season has drawn to a close, when reflecting back on the year, it has been very successful for a number of reasons.

This year, 42 out of 45 players represented The North Ballarat Rebels at TAC level, 10 players were selected to participate at the U18 National Championships, 6 players represented the North Ballarat Roosters as part of the VFL 23rd player rule, 2 of our players (Lucas Cook and Ben Mabon) were invited to the Draft Combine held in Canberra at the end of September, where they both performed extremely well under the watchful eyes of AFL recruiters and key personnel. In addition to this, a further 3 boys were invited to the State Combine (Richard Bamblett, Tom McDonald and Marcus Darmody) where they too, acquitted themselves superbly. To cap it off, the team managed to win its first final against the Murray Bushrangers where we won convincingly by 100 points. It was fantastic to watch the boys play an exciting brand of football over four quarters which further highlighted the capabilities of the playing group. So when you reflect on the past season, it has been quite a successful campaign.

Due to restructuring of the Head Coach position and not being able to commit the time necessary to do the job justice, I decided to stand down as the coach after 2 years in the job. During this time, it has been a privilege to coach all of the players from across the four regions, as they have been very keen and enthusiastic to learn and develop their football talents. They have been keen to absorb as much information/feedback as they could, in order to make them better players and people.

Before signing off for good, there are so many people I would like to thank who volunteer their services to the program and have been instrumental over the past two years.

Firstly, the coaching group of David Loader, Ivan Pkye, Justin McGrath, Damian Ross and Jason Muldoon have assisted me greatly throughout the year, whether at training or on game day.

Their knowledge and expertise has been invaluable. The work that Jock Whiting, Geoff Burdett and Alan Thompson do in the regions outside Ballarat is fantastic, particularly when driving the boys to and from training (4 hour round trip) each Thursday. A special mention must go to ‘Moose’ for his involvement with the Warrnambool boys each week. In addition, congratulations must go to Wayne Aitkin and Jeremy Mitchem, our Development Coaches in the South-West and Warrnambool regions, for their tireless work throughout the year, as well as Tim Shearer for his contribution with development in the Ballarat region.

Our Strength and Conditioning coaches, Tom Carlon, Cam Burnside and Michael Davies have done a sterling job this year managing and designing our fitness and rehab programs for the players. Their personalities, expertise and approachable nature have contributed to our program enormously. The fitness programs they established at the beginning of pre-season held us in good stead, as this was reflected

in our testing results prior to the season. Also, post season, all of our draft camp and state screening participants tested extremely well and this further highlights the terrific work that they did.

To the medical staff headed by Peter Henderson, Bernie Fensling and all the training staff, I thankyou for your expertise, support and involvement in the 2010 Rebels Program.

All of the match day volunteer staff have been absolutely sensational and their unselfishness enables the Rebels Program to be the best in the TAC competition. Your professionalism and involvement enabled me to just coach, as I didn’t have to worry about other things. Without your assistance, the program wouldn’t function as smoothly as it does.

To the 25 top age players who are leaving our program, I thank you for your involvement and commitment that you have demonstrated, whether it was for 1, 2 or 3 years. I hope that you achieved what you set out to do with your footy, and that you can look back on this experience with fond memories and implement some of the lessons learnt along the way.

I would like to recognise the efforts of all of the parents of our players.

We quite often talk about the dedication, discipline and commitment required by the players to succeed in their football, however the same must be said about the parents.

I would like to congratulate the North Ballarat Football Club, from the Chairman Peter Wilson, CEO Mark Patterson, Head Coach Gerard FitzGerald, coaching and playing group, right down to all the volunteers for all of their hard work they provided in order to achieve back to back to back premierships. Fitzy, your support and mentoring over the past couple of years has been much appreciated and you deserve all the success you get.

Finally to Phil Partington, thanks for the past two years and good luck with the program for 2011 and beyond, and I would like to personally wish David Loader and his support staff all the very best as they gear up for another season.

Once again thanks for your support.

North Ballarat Football Club | 128th Annual Report 7 1/12/10 8:58:32 AM

NBJFC Report The 2010 season saw many improvements across the club which place us in a good position going into the future.

Eureka Stadium was revamped which gave North Ballarat City footballers a consistent training base and home ground, the new state of the art netball court did the same for the netballers and the juniors had one of the best junior ovals in the region to play on. Thankyou to Mark Patterson, Peter Wilson and the NBFC board for making these investments into our facilities and it is appreciated across the club.

Leadership group The leadership group was led by Adam Richardson who was the senior captain. He took over the job after the departure of Matthew Doyle at the end of 2009. Adam did a fantastic job leading by example and was well supported by vice-captains Jason McNamara and Mitch Jenkins and deputy vice-captain Kyle Orr. The reserves captaincy was held by Jamie Lowe and Mark Holmes and the under 18.5s were led by captain Levi Cox and vice-captain Jack Connor. Each player did a great job directing their sides and we are encouraged by the potential leadership of many young players coming through.

Coaches and team managers Simon Payne was again at the helm in 2010 and did an admirable job throughout the season with a list struggling with injuries and form at stages. Simon will not continue in his coaching role at the club in 2011 but we wish him the best for the future. Simon will be remembered for his likeable personality and the friendships made.

Mark Petrie again did a great job under trying circumstances in the reserves and even carried the title “playing coach” in a couple of encounters. Wayne Walton directed the under 18.5 boys to the grand final and showed great commitment and loyalty to the group of boys. We thank all the coach’s for their time and commitments during 2010.

Robbie Waters has been appointed as the North Ballarat City senior coach for 2011 in what is an exciting step for the club. Robbie will bring with him great experience through his 3 years at the Selkirk Roosters and we look forward to his contribution.

Many thanks to team managers Steven Howard (seniors), Richard Start (reserves) and Chris Owins (U18.5) who ensure a smooth run on game days.

Netball With the addition of a fourth netball grade for 2010 the club did a great job in recruiting the required numbers to fill all teams. Much credit must go to Bronwyn Howard and Karelle Duggan who have again worked tirelessly all year to give the girls the best experience possible. The results were not fantastic, but what the club did gain in 2010 was a strong sense of team and a tight bond between the netball girls. This was great for the club socially and holds us in good stead for the next couple of years. Congratulations to coach’s Steve Crane, Karelle Duggan and Courtney Harrison who were able to keep the girls motivated throughout the season and we hope to see them all back next year.

Sponsors It is always difficult to gain sponsorship at local level sport and we have been fortunate to have one of the best around. Mark Petrie at Peach’s Fruit Market has continued his wonderful contribution in 2010 and we could not be happier to have the support of such dedicated and passionate people. Mark and his family have embraced the club and their contribution can not be understated.

We also thank our numerous partners who are listed later in the annual report for their support in 2010. As mentioned, it is difficult to attract sponsors, and the contribution you give to our club is one of the reasons we continue to exist and we hope we can strengthen these partnerships going forward. We urge all club members to support the businesses which support the club.

Volunteers Thankyou to all the hard working and passionate people around the club who donate their time to get our teams out on the ground every week. As President, it is a privilege to see all the work that goes on behind the scenes. The ones who help out will always do the job, no matter how small, and we can’t underestimate their contribution. We have a great range of characters around the club who are all well liked by the playing group and make the club what it is. We hope that the playing group will start repaying these people with some good results in the next few seasons. Volunteers are hard to find and certainly ours are irreplaceable. We sincerely thank each and every one for providing their time and skills for the betterment of the club.

To the members of the committee for 2010, thankyou for your continued support and guidance that you have provided. We have stuck together through various issues this year and everyone has conducted themselves in a most professional manner. I thankyou for your loyalty to the club and we look forward to helping guide the club into a successful era.

A big thankyou to Mitch Jenkins who has provided wonderful support to all members of the committee in the past year. We appreciate his work and acknowledge the significant contribution he has made.

Significant achievements U18.5 footballers- 1st North City side to make a grand final since or reformation in 2006 Josh Bromley-Lynch: Under 16.5 senior BFL best and fairest John Orr- Inducted into the BFL hall of fame All 6 juniors sides made finals 3 premiers: under 16.5 reserves, under 14 seniors & under 12 reserves Junior section won the Merv & Mary Howard Junior Shield as the champion junior club The Future With appointments such as Robbie Waters as head coach, recruits being signed up, committees being appointed and juniors continuing to graduate through the ranks, we see 2011 as a very exciting year for the club and hope that everyone that contributed in their own way this year will be behind the club again next season.

Stephen Darbin President, North Ballarat Junior Football Club

Juniors Our junior program continues to grow and improve by the year and it is in a large way attributed to the guidance and leadership shown by Pete Carey over the last couple of years. As we continue to develop our links between the junior section and North City it will only benefit our club as a whole. Well done to all boys and their families who engaged in the club this season. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our junior program to provide the best guidance for the kids to help their development.

North Ballarat Annual Report 2010.indd 9

North Ballarat Football Club | 128th Annual Report 9 1/12/10 8:58:33 AM

Development Report AFL Community Camp North Melbourne Football Club visited Ballarat in early February for the second year running as part of the AFL’s Community Camp program. During their visit to Ballarat the players conducted a well attended super-clinic at Eureka Stadium followed by coach and player seminars, community appearances and school visits. The busy schedule for the entire playing group, coaching panel and ancillary staff was capped off by an intra-club practice match that was very well received by the general public of Ballarat. Pre-planning for the 2011 Community Camp for the Kangaroos, to be held in Ballarat for the third consecutive year, has already commenced.

AFL NAB Auskick Auskick remains one of the most successful sport programs available for introducing children to the fundamentals of the game. Eligible for children between the ages of five and 12 years of age the Ballarat region’s participation rate of just under 1275 children aged predominantly between five and eight years of age is excellent. The participation rate has returned to levels achieved in the early 2000s prior to the introduction of U/10 junior football in Ballarat. The program continues to provide the developmental pathway to competitive football that aims to maximise the enjoyment of the game during and after Auskick participation.

AFL Player Appearances The annual program of AFL Player Appearances was again very successful in season 2010.

In keeping with their strong regional alignment North Melbourne Football Club players returned to the immediate Ballarat area in March after their successful Community Camp visit during February.

Twenty schools were able to receive visits from the available players.

The impact of these visits is starting to have the desired effect for the Kangaroos with schools now actively seeking involvement with their appearances program annually.

Visits were also held by Melbourne players to Skipton and Ballarat while Essendon also paid a visit to Carisbrook.

Approximately 1800 students across the Ballarat region were able to interact with AFL players through this highly valued program that continues to provide great experiences for the children of country Victoria.

Level One Coaching Courses Two Level One Coach Accreditation Courses were held in the Ballarat area for season 2010. In conjunction with a Victorian Country Football League Administration Workshop the Auskick/Junior/Youth course was held in early March at St. Patrick’s College. Fifty coaches attended the day long session that included presentation by Rebels head coach Glenn Wilkins, assistant coach David Loader and U/15 V/ Line Cup program coach Jeff Whittaker. With a Rebels U/16 practice match and two U/18 practice matches against Dandenong Stingrays also held as part of the day this was a great way to launch the football season for many of the local region’s junior coaches.

Mid June saw the Youth/Senior course held at North Ballarat Football Club with another 100 attendees gaining advice and support towards their coaching role. State Director of Coaching Steve Teakel was a well received presenter on the day along with Glenn Wilkins and David Loader who again shared their knowledge and experience.

U/15 V/Line Championships The Ballarat & District U/15 V/Line Cup program was preparing for the mid year carnival in Melbourne with its usual efficiency under head coach Jeff Whittaker when four weeks prior to the event the opportunity to submit a second team was presented. Successfully pulling together coaching and support staff, sufficient funding and planning fully for the carnival the program was able to compete in both Division One and Division Four for 2010. The chance to get another 24 players from the Ballarat region involved in the matches was deemed to good to pass up.

The Division One team played some very good football recording a win against Ovens & Murray on the first day before finding Goulburn Murray too strong in atrocious conditions on the second day. A close loss to Bendigo on the final day could have gone either way as the boys acquitted themselves very well. Sam Willian (East Ballarat JFC), Matt Crouch (Ballarat JFC) and Tom Vadala (Maryborough JFC) were awarded the Player of the Carnival, Runner-Up Player of the Carnival and Most Consistent trophies.

The Division Four team was a lightly built, running squad that wasn’t favoured by the heavy grounds but competed admirably. The developmental approach to this squad means the three losses against North Central Mallee, Sunraysia and Dandenong Ranges are not as important as the chance to play for the additional 24 players. With eight bottom aged players eligible to play again in 2011 the future looks bright. Tom Mooney (Ballarat JFC), Sam Hooper (North Ballarat JFC) and Tim Stubbs (Sebastopol JFC) won the respective awards for this team.

Matt Crouch and Tim Stubbs won the highly regarded Players’ Player of the Carnival trophies for Division One and Division Four respectively.

Matt Crouch represented Victoria Country at the School Sport Australia U/15 Championships held in Perth in late July.

crowd in attendance. The concept of playing the Grand Final under lights at Eureka Stadium was undoubtedly a winner.

St. Patrick’s College was able to secure the ‘double’ with their BAS title coupled with their win in the prestigious MCC Herald Sun Shield competition gaining them the title of best football school in Victoria for 2010. Such was the Patties dominance of the MCC Herald Sun Shield matches that they faced their stiffest opposition in the BAS matches.

Ballarat & Clarendon College was the only school capable of pushing their rivals from across Wanliss Road as they just failed to win the BAS title. The fifth consecutive win in the MCC Herald Sun Country Shield was fantastic achievement in its own right. This has never previously been done and would appear to be one record that will stand for a very long time. Defeats of Mildura Secondary College and Warrnambool’s Emmanuel College created the chance to play in the Grand Final which was held at Bendigo’s Strathfieldsaye complex.

Wanganui Park SC from Shepparton competed valiantly but could not overcome the efficiency of Ballarat & Clarendon College in very difficult conditions. The winning of this title and performances in the BAS would clearly place Ballarat & Clarendon College as the nearest rival to St. Patrick’s College in the state. A stellar year for Ballarat school football.

U/16 Legends Squad The Rebels’ U/16 squad performed well at the Victorian U/16 Country Championships played in Bendigo. A mix of 24 boys from across the Rebels region made the final squad after making it through a selection process that started with 110 players. Matches against Bendigo and Geelong resulted in one loss and one victory but more importantly the chance for the coaches to assess the potential of the players to progress to TAC Cup football in season 2011. Congratulations to Brad Crouch and Michael Close for their selection in the Victorian Country U/16 team that participated in the national carnival in Sydney.

School Football School football remains huge element of football throughout the Ballarat area with the majority of primary and secondary schools participating in at least one competition. With regional and zone competitions available and a large variety of age brackets that are played in, the ability for both girls and boys to enjoy a game of football outside the traditional club and league environment is unmatched by most other sports.

Anybody who attended Eureka Stadium for the Ballarat Associated Schools Grand Final for the 1st XVIII competition between St. Patrick’s College and Ballarat & Clarendon College knows the pride and passion the boys played with flows off the field and into the large

North Ballarat Football Club | 128th Annual Report 21 1/12/10 8:58:46 AM

Financial Summary The financial performance of the consolidated organisation could be described as a “mixed result� in 2010. The more challenging gaming environment with increased restrictions on gaming, the lead in to 2012 changes and implementation the increased responsible service of gaming measures have all had a varying degree of negative influence on the financial results in this key area of our revenue in 2010.

On the other hand as a result of a concerted program of review; major cost reductions in the football club’s operations and improved performance of the marketing department have resulted in a solid improvement of more than $150,000 year on year in football operations which has more than balanced the overall club financial result for the year.

The overall consolidated financial result for the organisation was again sound with the Sports Club continuing to increase its contribution to the sporting and community objectives of the Club and the sporting sections restraining their expenditure in line with board policy.

The industry wide downturn in gaming forced the board and management to review the entire sports club operations to ensure that operational efficiencies and productivity were at industry best practice levels. This focus resulted in some identified areas for improvement that have been addressed and have since started to produce improved financial performance in the food and beverage sectors of the business. These improvements have reduced the impact of the gaming downturn and provided further confidence of improved financial performance across the sports club business in the future. It is pleasing to note that during the past four months of the new financial year the club has experienced improved trading in gaming as well as other profit centres.

very hard working finance committee which is Chaired by sports Club Chairman Marius Van Gerrevink who is assisted by Finance Director Tim Bodey, CEO Mark Patterson, Venue Manager Cameron Vallance, Financial Controller Helen Bennetts, Board member Tony Godfrey and Bingo Operations Manager Paul Kennedy. Football Club Chairman Peter Wilson has also supported the committee as ex-officio member.

We also wish to thank our auditors Molloy, Orr and Ronan for their professionalism and expertise in completed our audits this year.

The Sports Club EBITDA result after donations and distributions was a loss of $165,169 on income from ordinary activities of $4,200,687 whilst the football club produced profit result of $24,000 for the year.

The football result was highlighted by an increase in football income of $85,000 through marketing and sponsorship income and major cost savings throughout the club. It should be noted that this information is provided for this report prior to the completion of the audit process.

Mark Patterson Chief Executive Officer

The board has continued to review and consider the impact of the new gaming arrangements that will be implemented in August 2012.

As members would be aware these changes have meant that the club will be required to invest considerable funds into the purchase of entitlements, electronic gaming machines, maintenance programs, monitoring and general management of the gaming operations.

It is therefore essential that all funding and operational issues are carefully considered prior to entering into any service contracts. The implementation of strategies and business plans for the business post 2012 will also be critical to tthe ongoing success of the business and will be very carefully analysed prior to implementation. Members can be assured that your board is being extremely diligent through this process and will continue to communicate the issues from time to time.

The finance committee continued to be extremely active, with monthly meetings and the continual assessment of the Club finances. There is no doubt that 2011 will continue to present its financial challenges and that is why in preparing budgets and forecasts for 2011 and beyond will be critical for the business. The board wishes to acknowledge the

Affiliate Clubs North Ballarat Cricket Club The 2009/10 season was relatively successful for the North Ballarat Cricket Club, with a number of teams representing the Club in Finals.

Our Under 16 Green and Under 14 Blue teams were used as development teams, to encourage participation moreso than “success at all costs�. We anticipate that the players in these teams will rise to the challenge of playing Gold division next season.

Our Second and Fourth XIs were extremely brave in their Grand Final Defeats at the hands of top sides Ballarat-Redan and Mount Clear respectively. Our First and Third XIs battled hard all year and we look forward to both new recruits and graduating Juniors consolidating our depth throughout the grades next year.

Our Under 16 Gold team were unlucky to lose the Grand Final to East Ballarat. They surprised a few when they made the Grand Final, largely thanks to outstanding 500+ run seasons from Matthew Crouch and Leigh Lorenzen.

Scott Wright Secretary

Our Under 14 Gold team were dominant all year to finish Premiers & Champions, on the back of 200+ run seasons from Sam Hooper, Matthew Spratling, Dylan Burns and Harry Murphy and 23 wickets from James Parkinson.

Our Under 14 Green team were defeated by Napoleons-Sebastopol in the Semi Final.

North Ballarat Netball Club The North Ballarat Netball Club was established when the North Ballarat Football Club was playing in the Ballarat Football League.

When the Roosters joined the Victorian Football League the netballers started their own independent club as part of the Ballarat Netball Association. They currently have 3 teams (A, B & C Grade) playing mid-week netball in the summer and winter netball seasons. The North Ballarat Sports Club providing funding for the club and they also conduct their own fundraising to help cover costs.

Ballarat North Bowling Club The Club continues to have a strong relationship with the Ballarat North Bowling Club and the Sports Club provides funding on an annual basis to the bowling club. It is anticipated that this relationship will grow and strengthen in the future as the Club’s Master Plan takes shape. We continue to discuss the continued growth of the respective Club’s and we thank Ballarat North Bowling Club for their continued cooperation.

North Ballarat Eagles - Women’s Team 2010 saw some senior players move on after completing university courses. The gap was filled by 14 new players added to the list. It was good to be training back at North after our nomadic existence in 2009. With so many new faces it was inevitable that it took a little time to start working together.

After a slow start on the field the team, once again under the leadership of Captain Josie Smith, started to move up the ladder with a series of good wins. A couple of close losses late in the season meant that we finished third on the North West Conference ladder. Once again success in finals football eluded us with a loss in the Elimination SemiFinal to Latrobe University.

This season the Eagles played four games on Eureka Stadium including a twilight match following the Roosters vs Gold Coast Match. We are privileged to have access to the wonderful facilities at North and we have won every game we have played on Eureka.

Other highlights for the season were the appearance of Laura Stampa wearing the Big V in the interstate carnival in Perth. This is the second time Laura has represented Victoria and we will be sorry to see her leave as she completes her University degree and move away from Ballarat.

Recruiting has started with several new players needed to field a committed team in 2011. We have secured the services of a fitness coach for 2011. The team is there for any girl who is keen to play football or anyone interested in helping off field in a successful and fun environment, please contact John Marshall on 0427 772 369.

The Eagles would once again like to thank all those at North Ballarat who supported us through season 2010. In particular Mark Patterson, Peter Wilson, Gerard Fitzgerald, and Marg Richards. Their wisdom and support has been vital to our continued development and success.

Northern Knights The Northern Knights were formed in 1993 through Ballarat Recreation Connections. The Club joined the Football Integration Development Association, the controlling body for a three division Australian Rules Football competition for persons with an intellectual disability, in 1997 and play in Division 1 which fi elds 18 teams from throughout Melbourne and Victoria. Since joining the Association, the Knights have won three premierships; back to back in 2002 and 2003 and another fl ag in 2005. They currently have 25 players on their list.

The team is supported not only by North Ballarat Sports Club but also BEST Community Development as part of their Interclub Program that provides a drop in centre for intellectually disabled adults.

North Ballarat Football Club | 128th Annual Report 25 1/12/10 8:58:54 AM

Sports Club Report Future gaming arrangements You will recall that last year I reported on the enormous challenge that the club faced regarding the changes to the gaming industry. I am pleased that the club can report that it has achieved its first goal in obtaining entitlements to operate 70 gaming machines when the new regulations commence in August 2012.

While we have been comforted to a certain extent by this result, the challenges we face as a gaming operator do not stop here, in fact in many ways they are just beginning. The challenge now for the board and management team is to develop a structure that is going to best deliver the entertainment experience and financial returns that will enable your club to continue to deliver its objectives for members and for the football club to continue to be able to promote football activities at all levels from AUSKICK through to our VFL team. As you will be aware the sports club assists significantly to these programs which sees more than 600 players participants in sport, 65 people undertake full, part-time and casual employment and that provides services to more than 10,000 members.

The challenge of growing our business will result in how best we adapt to the changes ahead and the club is looking forward to the decision making process that will determine how we are structured in the future. Whether we outsource services such as monitoring, machine purchasing and leasing, monitoring and maintenance will all be determined by the board over the next few months.

We believe that reducing the number of gaming machines also positions us as a very responsible operator and we continue to take very seriously our responsible gambling initiatives through education training and our attendance at local government committee’s on this matter.

Unfortunately over the past 18 months the regional club gaming industry in particular has experienced a trading downturn, and with continuing political climate that exist there is to sure to be further pressures placed on gaming and as such the historical level of revenue we have generated from this source may not be achieved in the future.

Operations The investments that the club made last financial year into business management systems to improve rostering practices and kitchen management have been adopted with enthusiasm by staff and management alike and as a result it is pleasing that we have seen improvements in food & beverage margins and our labour costs more effectively controlled across the business.

There continues to be a strong emphasis on offering a quality food experience and developing our functions area with some pleasing results. The assistance provided by our hard working sub committees Finance headed by Tim Bodey, our House Committee headed by Wayne Strong and Human Resources lead by Katrina Baddeley are greatly appreciated by the sports club.

The clubs proactive commitment to responsible serving of alcohol and gaming continues with all staff regularly attending training in these areas. The North Ballarat Sports Club is also represented

by Cameron Vallance who attends the local Ballarat responsible gambling committee as we strive to proactively meet and play a leadership role on these important matters for the community. The increasing compliance obligations to operate codes of conduct and self exclusion programs have also been embraced at the North Ballarat Sports Club.

Future Facilities Through the club’s strategic planning process the sports club board has identified a number of operational and amenity issues that will be considered and developed over the next 12-24 months. Given the forthcoming changes in gaming, issues such as the clubs total service offering will be reviewed as will our member and customer facilities to ensure that the club continues to best meet the broad expectations of our membership base.

Financial Performance The sports club experienced a significantly more difficult financial landscape in the financial year to 30th June 2010 – returning an operating profit of $185,000 which was well short on the same result the previous year. The better news however is that in the first four months of the new financial year we have experienced improved trading conditions which we are naturally hoping will continue through next year.

Staff appreciation To club Chief Executive Mark Patterson, Finance Manager Helen Bennetts and Sports Club Operations Manager Cameron Vallance and all the sports club staff a big thank you for your efforts during the year.

Business Partners The Sports Club continued to build its business partnerships and we thank our key partners Tattersall’s, Lion Nathan, the City of Ballarat, Clubs Victoria and the North Ballarat Football Club for their continued support.

Our support continues to increase The sports club continues to financially support a whole range of organisations and 2010 was no different. The major beneficiaries this year have included; • North Ballarat Roosters FC • North Ballarat City FNC including NBJFC • NBSC Netball team • Ballarat Athletics Club • Ballarat Sports Foundation • North Ballarat Cricket Club
