State President – Robyn Procter

It is with great pleasure that I present the Annual Report of Women's Bowls NSW for 2013-2014. The past 12 months have seen many changes. Women's Bowls NSW have introduced a new-look magazine, reviewed and relaxed the Dress Policy, changed our trading name, launched a new logo, taken our Board meetings into country areas and, as promised, met with many of our members at forums in different areas where special State events have been held. The independent review of the boundaries continues. The overall results of the survey are yet to be analysed by both Associations with any decision unlikely to be made in the near future. Information on the progress of the review will be given to all members when available. The Board continues to address the issues that may present challenges brought about by the new Constitution, including adhering to the principles of good governance and building an effective Board that recognises its accountability to its stakeholders. Each Director is continually updating her skills and knowledge in order to fulfil the requirements laid down by legislation and the Australian Sports Commission. It is indeed most satisfying to now have two Directors from country areas - Finance Director Anne Emms is from Mittagong and Nanette Jemmeson hails from Armidale. The remaining Directors, Pam Hockings, Beryl Watson, Sue O'Keefe and myself are all from Sydney suburbs. Sadly, the Board received and accepted resignations from Pam Andrich and Louise Tucker, and more recently Denise Huender, and on behalf of the Board, I thank them for their valuable contributions during their time with WBNSW. The Board's commitment to and the continuing implementation of the initiatives and priorities of the Strategic Plan have ensured meaningful and beneficial outcomes for the Association as a whole. The WBNSW 2014-2017 Strategic Plan is now in alignment with the Bowls Australia Strategic Plan and reviewed regularly to ensure changes in circumstances where appropriate are taken into account. A revised version is available on our website – www.womensbowlsnsw.org Our State squads have performed admirably whenever they have been asked to represent New South Wales. International and State titles have been won by NSW representatives, including a record third straight Marj Morris Trophy at the Australian Sides. Thanks to 2014 Coach/Selector Gary Willis and State Manager Debbie Schoemaker for their support. The Shoalhaven Region again was host to the 85th BCiB State Carnival. Stated by many of those attending as “the best ever”, the event was run again with the generous support of the Bomaderry Bowling Club, Shoalhaven City Council and new principal sponsor BCiB. The “Mad Hatter” Opening Dinner was attended by over 200 and included representatives from the Shoalhaven City Council, Bomaderry Bowling Club, Bowls NSW, Sponsors, WBNSW Directors and staff. The entertainment was again superb and the hospitality provided by the Bomaderry Club outstanding. A great start to a wonderful week of competition, friendship and fun. Special thanks to Chairman Pam Hockings and her Match Committee of Robyn Lewis, Jennifer Palmer and Joan Thomas as well as the Section Managers and Umpires for their time and expertise in running another successful event.

As the Association Delegate on the Bowls Australia Council I have attended meetings held in Melbourne and Sydney and reported back to the Board and members, and together with representatives from other States I am a member of the National Brand Working Party. I was very pleased to be present at the inaugural Australian Premier League held at Pine Rivers Bowling Club near Brisbane in November last year as well as attend the Bowls Australia Presentation Night in Burnie, Tasmania earlier this year. Bowl for Others continues to assist in helping those less fortunate in our communities. During September last year I was privileged to be present at the Luncheon and meet the recipients of the valuable funds raised. WBNSW acknowledges and will continue to recognise the dedication and work of this wonderful group. Sponsors play a vital role in our organisation and we are indeed fortunate to have a number who are continuously dedicated and generous with their support. We are extremely grateful to Bowls Australia and this year’s major events sponsors BCiB, St Johns Park Bowling Club, Warilla Bowling Club, Oak Flats Sporting and Recreation Club, Port City Bowling Club, Bomaderry Bowling Club, Cabramatta Bowling Club, Shoalhaven City Council and Port Stephens Council. Our thanks also to all sponsors and partners who contribute to the running of the Association, a full list can be seen on p 9. A very special and important aspect to being President is the opportunity to visit Districts and Clubs and to share in their celebrations. For myself and fellow Directors, each of these occasions have been most enjoyable, it has been an absolute pleasure to meet with our members, their important guests and learn about the history of the Clubs and Districts. Thank you for your kind invitations, we look forward to meeting many more members in the future. This year has been a most satisfying year. The Board has worked well together and I thank each of them for their dedication, time, effort and commitment to the Association. My congratulations go to the committees and staff for their devotion and contributions which have contributed to a productive and rewarding year. Robyn Procter President

CEO’s Report – Nicky Bethwaite

It’s a fascinating job being the CEO of such a robust and traditional sport as

lawn bowls, as the breadth of the day-to-day issues that come across my desk

is vast. In my second year as the senior administrator, the big picture strategy

of modernising both the game and the communications needed to be

balanced with the equally important club issues that many of you face.

Sometimes we do have to sweat the small stuff because if it doesn’t work at

the coalface, then the big picture can become irrelevant. To this end, I would

like to offer my wholehearted thanks to the Board for their support and

guidance, and to my wonderful staff who keep the office ticking over very

efficiently. It’s all about teamwork.

The big picture strategy is all about participation in the sport, trying to halt the slide of membership by analysing the

cause. Without a doubt, this is bigger than just us – all sports are trying to adapt to the significant societal changes

that are in our faces. The necessity of double-income families has a direct impact on the amount of time that people

have available for leisure activities, meaning that the traditional mid-week allocation of days for women to play

bowls discourages the 50 and 60 somethings to take up the sport.

Some of the changes that have been introduced in the past 12 months have been significant. For instance, changing

the name and logo of the Association is a signal that we are operating in a competitive marketplace and that we are

here to stay. We are always on the lookout for new sponsorship opportunities to help defray rising costs and to

provide a mutual platform with access to our members. Flexible playing policies are another area where the

Association has encouraged all clubs to look at alternative times and days of play, with a significant number of

members transferring clubs so that they have the option of weekend play. The Association has provided some

generic documents to assist with the wording to facilitate the changes and the feedback has been very positive.

Traditional uniform requirements for social days are also seen as a difficulty for new members so this is another

perceived barrier that has been removed this year.

Of course, one of the most obvious changes that has occurred during the 2013/14 financial year is the upgrade of

the magazine, Bowls Matters. This has been achieved at a reduced cost for a much higher quality production, and

the new graphics reflect a proud and positive image. My sincere thanks go to Nicola Abercrombie for facilitating the

liaison between the Board, Magazine Committee and the graphics designers and publishers, as well as for writing

incisive articles in the lead up to the Commonwealth Games.

It is pleasing that in this time of reducing memberships and rising costs that the Association has been able to contain

its expenditure while still fulfilling our obligations to our members. A modest profit has been achieved, helped by

the return on investment of assets that have been accumulated over the years. It is now the ‘rainy day’ part of our

cycle and we are thankful to the judicious financial management over the years that have enabled us to stay strong

without impacting the membership or having to pass on the full costs of operating a business in 2014.

The steady management of the Association is well and truly a team effort – the Board, committees and staff work

well together, with minimum disruption. It is always a significant indicator that if something looks easy then you can

be sure there is a lot of effort that goes into making that occur. I am extremely grateful to Selam Woldemichael for

her management of membership data and making two IT systems functional, to Kate Wingrove for assisting with the


Page 8

implementation of new coaching and umpiring systems as well as managing the logistics for the state team and to

Janine Kerr for accurate, regular and easily understood financial information.

Kylie Hartley is the friendly voice on the end of the telephone and has been with the team for six months. During

this time she has enhanced the office environment with her cheerful contribution.

We are saying farewell to Nicola Abercrombie who is off to Tennis NSW - her quick grasp of the sport has made the

communications of the Association consistent and intelligent and has set a benchmark for the next incumbent.

Lastly, I would like to thank the Board and committees for their help and support over the past 12 months.

Match Committee Pam Hockings (Chair), Robyn Lewis, Jennifer Palmer, Joan Thomas

Another busy and successful 12 months have passed for the Match Committee. Unfortunately the majority of the

feedback submitted about the Moratorium in the Pennants indicated it was not entered into in the proper spirit or

with the integrity we expected from some Clubs across NSW. It is unfortunate that more Clubs did not use this

opportunity to correctly grade their ability and enable their players to compete on a more level playing field in the

Pennant competition.

The successful achievers for all our State Championships, Pennants and events for the last 12 months are listed on p

48-49. We congratulate all these players on their success and wish them all the best in the 2014/15 events.

Once again we were forced to juggle the State Championships when the 2013 National Champion of Champions host

venue was changed. Our entrants in the Championships were Natasha Scott (Van Eldik) in the singles and Kerry

Farrell and Betty Herbertson in the pairs. While Natasha did not win her section to progress to the final, Kerry and

Betty saw it all the way to the end and emerged as the National winners. A wonderful effort and an inspiration to all

bowlers given this event begins at Club level.

In all State events and playoffs, we applaud the manner in which all players conducted themselves and thank them

for their co-operation and sportsmanship during all games. It makes the work of the Match Committee so much

easier when players are so obliging.

My thanks go to the members of the Match Committee - Robyn, Jenny and Joan - who give their time each week to

attend the Match Office and also for the countless hours of home time spent in preparation for each and every

event. Also to the Office staff – Nicky, Kate, Nicola, Selam and more recently Kylie - who assist members in their

enquiries and also in our preparation as well. To Janine Kerr, thanks for keeping the financial side of all events,

accommodation and all the incidentals on the straight and narrow. To all other State Committees and Board

Directors who have assisted at the Carnival and in other ways during the past 12 months, your efforts are also much

appreciated. Our thanks to Lesley on the Umpires Board and our memories of past umpire stalwart Audrey Gray will

continue to be an integral part of the history of the game in NSW. The work of the Match Committee is truly a TEAM

effort.

The Match Office cannot bring our events to fruition without the assistance of those mentioned above and also the

wonderful volunteers at all our venue Clubs used throughout the year. Club Presidents, social, markers, umpires

and greenkeepers all making their contributions and our various sponsors whose financial input is accepted with

gratitude and sincere thanks.

Umpires Board Lesley Swales (Chair)

The past 12 months have been a busy time for the Umpires Committee. In January 2014 we saw the introduction of

the new system for umpires. After a few initial teething problems we, together with Kate in the office, have

managed to get the system working well. New umpires have to apply to the office first after completing an

application form and this is then processed and the information sent to the sub-committees. Re-accrediting umpires

were sent reminder letters together with their re-accreditation application forms which they and their club had to

complete and forward to the office. The sub-committees were then advised accordingly.

To the District Umpires Sub-committees, thank you for your patience and help throughout the year. We must also

thank the Clubs and Greenkeepers who make their facilities available to the sub-committees.

Our thanks to all the local umpires who helped with our numerous State events throughout the year. It is much

appreciated.

Thanks to CEO Nicky and the administration staff, Kate, Selam, Nicola, Janine and Kylie for their assistance and co-

operation during the past year.

The year ended on a sad note for the Umpires Committee with the sudden passing of Audrey Gray. Audrey was a

valued member of the Committee for seven years and a friend and mentor to myself and others. She will be greatly

missed.

Coaching Panel Kathryn Chatillon (Chair) and Elizabeth McFarland

From August 2013 to February 2014 we have held Coaching Clinics at Lismore, Ulladulla, Asquith, Narromine,

Maroubra (two clinics), Beecroft, Double Bay and Cowra. Thanks to all host clubs for the positive reception and

hospitality, this has allowed WBNSW Coaching Panel to reach over 300 bowling members of both genders.

To Norma Barry and all our new and long standing Club and Introductory Coaches who have assisted me in working

on our Clinics, I do appreciate your commitment and willingness to give up your time.

Part of my duties as a Presenter and Assessor for Bowls Australia include facilitating courses for new Club and

Introductory Coaches. Listed below are the courses presented from July 2013 to July 2014:

Club Coach Course Camden, North Manly, Oak Flats, Pennant Hills, West Dubbo

Introductory Coach Neutral Bay

Selection Modules Asquith, North Manly, Pennant Hills

Reaccreditation (no longer required) Dundas, Lismore, Neutral Bay, North Manly, Taren Point

WBNSW now have 348 Club Coaches and reaccreditations are on the rise due to the new format. Introductory

Coaches are now been recognized as a valuable resource to Clubs.

As Chairman, I need to thank a number of people who have assisted me in 2014. Firstly, President Robyn and the

WBNSW Board members for the support shown towards WBNSW Coaching and particularly Denise Huender, who,

until recently, held the portfolio for coaching.

Thanks to CEO Nicky for her continued support of WBNSW Coaching, plus the WBNSW office staff, who are always

available to assist me on any occasion. Janine, Nicola, Selam and Kylie are always ready to assist where required and

it is most appreciated.

Elizabeth McFarland resigned midyear and I thank her for her time on the Panel. I hope the future will be positive

and thank you for your friendship and assistance in all areas of coaching.

Without our newest member, Kate Wingrove, I would have had a stressful time. Kate’s positive attitude and ongoing

support has helped me maintain an even keel when challenging situations occurred.

Working with such a strong team helps me to be proactive for the advancement of coaching in our State. There were

many changes this year and I am sure more to come. Without Club Coaches embracing the new format, your

WBNSW Coaching would not be as strong as it is.

Please accept my sincere gratitude and with this type of continued enthusiasm, 2015 will continue to see WBNSW

Coaching move forward.

Selection Committee Gary Willis (Chair)

Our representative teams and players have enjoyed another successful year, but believe it or not, we are going to be

even better in 2015.

With a team full of current and former Australian Representatives, it is easy to sit back and assume that our team

should be successful, however, actually completing the task of winning gold medals and team trophy championships

against the greatest players and teams across the country is never assured and never taken lightly.

NSW is currently blessed by the abundant talent in our representative teams from Under 18s, Under 25s and the

Open squad. This is no fluke and we can thank the work carried out by Clubs and their coaches/mentors for laying

the foundations to begin their bowls journey.

Presently, we are very lucky to have an excellent Under 18 program overseen by coaches Chris Green and Sharyn

Renshaw, as well as Selectors Neil Bayo and John Rodis. Personally, I have thoroughly enjoyed being invited to tag

along to the junior camps and training sessions, learning more about the juniors as players and individuals. Chris and

Sharyn are really doing a wonderful job.

We continue to work hard through our National Training Centre program, ensuring that our state based athletes are

trained in all areas both on and off the green to be ready, when called upon, to play for Australia. Implementing

Bowls Australia's high performance philosophy and programs, focusing on the daily training environment for the

Australian Under 18, Australian emerging and NTC squad members as well as receiving sport specialist services from

the NSW Institute of Sport, our NSW athletes are given a fantastic platform.

We continue the planning and development of our NSW players aiming to continually raise the bar and give them all

the opportunity to be the best they can be. The working partnership within our administration, junior selectors,

open selectors and coaches in conjunction with our NTC program have all been major contributing factors to our

success/results over the last 12 months.

On the International scene NSW ladies have been well represented and performed very well.

Constitution Revision Board Robyn Procter (Chair) and Beryl Watson

As the majority of Clubs had accepted their new Constitution and By-Laws in 2012-2013, the last 12 months have

been spent assisting the remaining clubs to finalise theirs.

This year, some of the Clubs have, with approval from the CRB, made minor changes to their By-Laws. The CRB has

also made minor changes to the Club By-Laws on the web.

Many emails, phone calls and letters have been received from members asking for advice or assistance with

constitutional or personnel matters.

Some of these are member protection issues, the majority of which are easily resolved but some take careful

negotiation to reach a satisfactory outcome. Many of these incidences often arise because of poor communications

within a Club.

The Member Protection Policy has been revised and is available on the web for Clubs to download so they have a

copy available to members on request.

It is essential that all our bowling members are treated with fairness and respect and all should be aware of their

legal and ethical rights and responsibilities as set out in the Member Protection Policy.

A Generic Domestic Rules document, compiled by the CRB in consultation with other committees, has recently been

placed on the web for Clubs to download as they develop their own Domestic Rules. These Domestic Rules must be

presented to the Members and voted on before they can be implemented.

The Constitution Revision Board acknowledges CEO Nicky and office staff Janine, Selam, Kate, Nicola and Kylie for

your continued support and dedication to the CRB and the Association during the last 12 months, it is much

appreciated.

To all the members who have contacted the CRB with concerns and questions, thank you for allowing the CRB to be

of help to you.

Magazine Committee Barbara Hazeltine (Chair), Jean Clowes, Jackie Lewis, Wendy Steyers, Elizabeth Whelan

Since July, 2013 there have been multiple changes to the magazine - the size, shape, quality of paper, advertising to

name a few. The feedback on the new magazine has been overwhelmingly positive and is great to hear.

In December, 2013, Jean Clowes joined the Committee, which works together to read and edit your articles. This is

all being done now by electronic means. The Magazine Committee still sub-edits and then proofs the journal. A

magazine of this size needs a number of people with disparate talents to produce quality articles.

A number of people are involved with the magazine. Thanks go to President Robyn, Directors and the Committees of

Match, Umpires, Coaching and Social. The magazine would not be published without the help of the office staff, CEO

Nicky and Janine, Kate, Selam and Kylie. Nicola started in the office in August, 2013 and has had so much to do with


Page 17

the magazine. Since moving to the new publishers, Nicola has worked extremely hard to ensure Bowls Matters is an

item of value. Producing the magazine is a team effort and it has been great to be associated with it for such a

lengthy period.

Bowls Matters would not be the same without the input of the members and Publicity Officers. Your Club does not

have to be a large one to send in an article and all stories are welcomed. Remember, your articles and efforts make

up a substantial part of this magazine and it is up to you all to carry on the good work.

A special thank you to anyone who has over the past 12 months had an article or photo published. It’s a wonderful

feeling to have something in print. Congratulations! If you have not tried before, then 2014/2015 is coming, take a

chance and send in a story.

Thank you, it has been a pleasure working with all of you.

Delsie and I have enjoyed another year of organising and preparing gifts for all State playoffs and Special Days at

to all winners.

Sincere thanks to all the office staff for their continued support and assistance.

Regional Representative Committee Denise Huender

Regional Representatives hold an important role within the Association as they are in touch with all Districts and

Clubs within their region and provide two way communications between Region and State. This year, the Regional

Reps have met three times. The first meeting, held in October, welcomed new Regional Reps for Region 6 - Robyn

Cosgrove, Region 7 - Margaret Duley, Region 15 - Trish Wilson and Region 16 - Barbara Hazeltine and in February we

were able to welcome Elaine Radcliffe for Region 3. The new Reps are given a full briefing on their roles and

responsibilities and are given advice and assistance in ways of fulfilling their obligations. The meetings are called at

regular intervals to discuss issues that may develop in a particular region and which reps wish to place on the agenda

for general discussion, or matters that need discussion that are relevant to all members of the State.

This year has seen changes in the Pennants and the reps were able to receive updates and information from Pam

Hockings, Chair of Match, into developments in this area. Pam was also available to give guidance to the

implementation of Play or Forfeit Policy for Clubs. The meetings have also given the reps the opportunity to be

briefed by Lesley Swales, Chair of Umpiring, and Kathy Chatillon, Chair of Coaching, regarding officiating and

coaching structures that have been put in place by Bowls Australia.

One of the major discussion points in meetings this year has been the Boundaries Discussion Paper. Robust

discussion was involved around this document with all Regional Reps having the opportunity to discuss possible

impacts within their regions.

The Regional Reps have been instrumental in putting forward problems that they have encountered from their

regions, one of which was the need for further relaxation of the Dress Policy. The accessibility of bowls shops in

areas outside major cities had made it quite difficult for some members to find clothing from bowls shops. This

enabled a relaxation of the code to include suitable smart casual attire, which has been a great help to some regional

Clubs.

The pooling of ideas including certificates and medallions for presentation at regional playoffs has been very

successful and has streamlined the process allowing Regions or Districts (where there is no Regional Rep) to

purchase medallions through Head Office.

The communication channels that have developed through the Regional Rep network have been invaluable in the

smooth running of Regional events and the hard work of these volunteers is much appreciated. We are still looking

for Regional Reps in a few areas so would encourage interested members to contact Head Office with an expression

of interest.

Junior Bowls Sharyn Renshaw, Chris Green, Neil Bayo and John Rodis

NSW Juniors have again had an impressive year with outstanding results and representative performances.

The NSW v QLD test at Taren Point Bowling Club was the first representative match for the year, with a number of

players making their debut at this event. The team took the series 3 – 0 in both the NSW girls and boys tests, setting

the stage for a successful year.


Page 19

The NSW Combined High Schools (CHS) Exchange series at Port Macquarie, was the next fixture for the NSW State

Side. With a number of players having been selected for the CHS side, other members of the NSW Under 18 squad

were given an opportunity to represent at State level. The CHS side continued their winning streak taking the 2013

encounter.

Sorrento Bowling Club in Western Australia hosted the 2013 Australian Under 18 Championships. NSW performed

brilliantly in both the boys and girls events, claiming 1st place honours for Boys Champion State, Girls Champion State

and Overall Champion State. The final results were three gold medals, two silver medals and three bronze medals

from the eight disciplines (medalling in every discipline). After the event, NSW players featured prominently in

selection for the Australian Under 18 Squad. These players included: Dawn Hayman (Fairy Meadow), Ellen Ryan

(Goulburn Railway), Jamie-Lee Worsnop (St Johns Park), Corey Wedlock (Urunga) and Dylan Skinner (Mount Lewis).

All of these NSW players then went on to represent their country in the Trans-Tasman series in March 2014.

The Annual City v Country fixture was held at Cabramatta in November and saw the City side continue their success

in the event with a 2-1 series victory over Country. Following the series the 2013 NSW State Squad was announced.

Taren Point Bowling Club hosted the first State Squad training camp in January 2014. Members received on green

coaching plus information on goal setting, etiquette, measuring performance and healthy eating patterns. Directions

for the upcoming year were established at this camp. Squad members then took part in Regional Training Camps at

Foster, Taren Point, Warilla and Orange to further enhance their training.

The 2014 State Squad training program took a change in direction with the NSW Regional Training Camps replacing

the Easter Camp. The regional camps, based in the North, South, East and West of NSW, provided an opportunity for

juniors in the local areas to meet NSW Squad members and gain some valuable tools to develop their skills. Each

camp included squad drills, interviews, one on one coaching and match play. The local juniors who attended each

camp were also involved in the squad drills and then joined in with the state squad to mingle and play matches

together.

The final interstate fixture of the year saw the NSW boys and girls travel to Queanbeyan in May to compete against

the ACT. Both NSW sides which included three debutants across the board performed extremely well and dominated

the series to win 2-0 in both the boys and girls tests.

The development of junior bowls at both participation and elite levels throughout NSW is only possible due to the

continued support and contributions from all the event sponsors, hosts and squad sponsors. A very special thank you

goes out to all individuals, parents and clubs who put in tireless hours into making NSW such a successful state in

junior bowls.

Many of our State Juniors have taken part in tournaments around NSW and interstate with great results.

Congratulations to all our NSW Juniors on their success throughout the year.

2014 AUSTRALIAN OPEN UNDER 18 SINGLES

NSW had a large contingent of players taking part in this event with great performances in the Under 18 singles

event and at the open level. The Under 18 boys’ singles event was won by NSW Dylan Skinner with NSW Jamie-Lee

Worsnop taking out the girls’ singles. Runner-up in the girls’ singles event, also a NSW junior, was Molly Wilton. A

fantastic result from our State Juniors.

Hatch-Caccamo (Carlingford) and Mason Lewis (Merrylands).

Sharyn Renshaw

NSW Junior Coach

Over 60s The Senior State Side arrived in Victoria all keen and ready for the competition. Unfortunately, the weather was not

what we ordered. Due to rain, the Opening Ceremony and March On were cancelled and the formalities had to take

place in the Club House at the Belmont Bowls Club.

Round 1: NSW v QLD

QLD started well and unfortunately we struggled and lost 45-60.

Round 2: NSW v ACT

Our ladies played well and were victorious on three rinks winning 77-38

Round 3: NSW v TAS

Again our ladies were victorious with a two rink win 67-49

Round 4: NSW v SA

Winning again on two rinks and taking the overall 70-42

Round 5: NSW v VIC

Unfortunately winning only one rink, VIC a bit too strong for us, we went down 58-62

Round 6: BYE


Page 24

Round 7: NSW v WA

Another close game and with a two rink win, we came out winners 62-52

Victoria won the overall trophy with NSW coming in a close third place.

The team of Cheryl Gillard, Carolyn Glen, Christine Gordon and Betty Herbertson were the team of the series losing

only 1 game. Betty Herbertson was named Player of the Series.

As mentioned, the weather was not kind and made it difficult battling rain, wind and very cold conditions.

Bowl for Others Merle McCarthy (President), Gladys Barnes (Secretary), Edna Arnold (Treasurer)

The NSW women bowlers are thanked for their ongoing support of Bowl for Others, with the $1 voluntary

subscription paid to their Clubs. Extra funds are also received from charity days, ‘spiders’, wrong biases and

donations from individual members. The Committee appreciates all the best wishes that are often sent in with the

cheques.

Country Vice-Presidents are thanked for acting on our behalf collecting the annual subscriptions from the Clubs in

their District. Best wishes go to Pat Hardwick (Mid West) and Dulcie Tonkin (Western) who have retired from their

positions after many years.

The Annual Presentation of Cheques luncheon is held annually at the The Masonic Club. A representative from each

of the recipients attends to receive their cheque and speaks on their current research, which is always interesting.

Country members, when hospitalised in Sydney areas, are visited whenever possible and receive phone calls. The Air

Ambulance Service does great work transporting those country bowlers.

After many years of being on the Committee, President Merle McCarthy has not re-nominated for her third term.

Merle has held the positions of Vice-President, Secretary and President and has shown strong leadership at all times.

Merle has had a battle with health problems and will now enjoy her retirement. We wish President Merle happy

days ahead and better health – we will miss you very much.

We thank State President Robyn Procter, the Directors of WBNSW and CEO Nicky Bethwaite and her staff for their

courteous assistance at all times.

Finance Portfolio Anne Emms

It gives me pleasure to report that the financial year ended with an overall net profit of $115,626, this represents an

increased current year surplus of approximately 5.3 per cent. It has been another challenging year on the financial

front with low interest rates for invested funds and a continual slow drop in membership, with a resulting reduction

in overall income. Given the uncertain financial climate we have continued to maintain a conservative approach to

investment of Association funds but we are continually evaluating that situation and review our investments each

Board meeting.

We received surplus revenue to budget for our events of $11,803, or 9.5 per cent. This indicates that our budgeting

strategies were quite accurate and represents the results of a great deal of effort by our match and events

committees to stage successful events around the state. This will also help to increase the profile of the sport and it

is something that the Association wishes to remain focussed on into the future.

The financial constraints on economic activity are still unpredictable and we must maintain tight control of the

Association’s funds to meet budget expectations and keep the sport viable. Alongside prudent financial

management, the focus still remains on increasing membership. We have increased diligence on financial control by

putting in place a policy framework, including financial control policies and risk management criteria around financial

activities. This will ensure that the governance of our finances meets all regulatory requirements, that financial

control is rigorous and that there is a succession plan for future directors who are tasked with the financial

management of the Association.

I wish to thank Janine Kerr, our Finance Manager, for making my new role as Finance Director one that is well

resourced. Janine is always willing and able to meet the challenges in keeping our books in order, she has responded

with enthusiasm to any suggestions for change I have made and has put forward ideas for improvement of our

financial control systems. Likewise, Nicky has been very involved in providing suggestions for investing and managing

our funds and is always on the lookout for ways to improve our cash flow. I would also like to thank all our other

staff members for their cheery reception each time I come into the office and their willingness to help out wherever

possible.

In conclusion I would like to also thank our auditors, Pringle Moriarty & Co., for their help and support throughout

the year. We present the audited financial statements to the Association for the year ended 30 June 2014.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2014

The financial statements cover the New South Wales Women’s Bowling Association Inc. as an individual entity. New

South Wales Women’s Bowling Association Inc. is an association incorporated in New South Wales under the

Associations Incorporation Act 2009.

The financial statements were authorised for issue on 18th August 2014 by members of the Board.

NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Preparation

The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with

Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Associations Incorporation Act 2009. The

Association is a not-for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in financial

statements containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply.

Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have

been consistently applied unless stated otherwise.

The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities. The amounts presented in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.

Accounting Policies

a. Income Tax

The income of the Association is exempt from income tax in terms of Section 50-45 of the Income Tax Assessment

Act 1997.

b. Inventories Inventories consist of publications, badges and assorted mementos and are measured at the lower of cost and net

realisable value. Costs are assigned on an average cost basis and include direct costs and appropriate overheads, if

any.


Page 31



NOTE 1 – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

c. Property, Plant and Equipment Each class of property, plant and equipment is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Property

Strata title land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged

between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction), based on periodic, but at least triennial,

valuations by external independent valuers, less subsequent depreciation for buildings.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation surplus in

equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against fair value reserves directly in

equity; all other decreases are recognised in profit or loss

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset

and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis and are therefore carried at cost less depreciation and

impairment losses. In the event the carrying amount of plant and equipment is greater than the estimated

recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down immediately to the estimated recoverable amount. A

formal assessment of recoverable amount is made when impairment indicators are present. No impairment loss has

been recorded in the current financial year.

Depreciation

The depreciable amount of all fixed assets, including building, is depreciated on a straight line basis over the asset’s

useful life commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:

Class of Fixed Asset Depreciation Rate

Building 3%

Office furniture and equipment 20% - 33%

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each reporting period.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and

losses are included in the statement of comprehensive income. When revalued assets are sold, amounts included in

the revaluation relating to that asset are transferred to retained earnings.


Page 32




d. Financial Instruments

Initial Recognition and Measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the Association commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted).

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’, in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately.

Classification and Subsequent Measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value or cost.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets are classified at ‘fair value through profit or loss’ when they are held for trading for the

purpose of short term profit taking. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in

fair value (ie gains or losses) being recognised in profit or loss. The Association has not held any financial

asset at fair value through profit or loss in the current or comparative year.

(ii) Held-to-maturity investments Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets that have fixed maturities and fixed or

determinable payments, and it is the Association’s intention to hold these investments to maturity. They

are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either not capable of being classified into other categories of financial assets due to their nature, or are designated as such by management. They comprise investments in the equity of other entities where there is neither a fixed maturity nor fixed or determinable payments.

(iv) Financial Liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost.


Page 33




d. Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

Impairment

At the end of each reporting period, the Association assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial

instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the

value of the instrument is considered to determine whether impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are

immediately recognised in profit or loss. Also, any cumulative decline in fair value previously recognised in other

comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss at this point.

Derecognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is

transferred to another party, whereby the Association no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the

risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are

either discharged, cancelled or expire. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability

extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-

cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit of loss.

e. Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by

employees to the end of the reporting period. Employee benefits expected to be settled within one year have

been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. Employee benefits payable

later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made

for those benefits. These cash flows are discounted using market yields on national government bonds with terms

to maturity that match the expected timing of cash flows.

f. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at-call with banks and other short-term highly

liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.


Page 34




g. Revenue and Other Income

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point of delivery as this corresponds to the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods and the cessation of all involvement in those goods. Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method, which, for floating rate financial assets is the

rate inherent in the instrument. Dividend revenue is recognised when the right to receive a dividend has been

established.

Revenue from the provision of membership subscriptions is recognised on a receipts basis for the financial year to

which it relates.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

h. Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST receivable from, or payable to, the ATO is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities, which are recoverable from, or payable to, the ATO are presented as operating cash flows included in receipts from customers or payments to suppliers.

i. Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in

presentation for the current financial year.

j. Accounts Payable and Other Payables

Accounts payable and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for

goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The balance is

recognised as a current liability with the amounts normally paid within 30 days of recognition of the liability.

k. Key Estimates

Impairment

The Association assesses impairment at the end of each reporting period by evaluation of conditions and events specific

to the Association that may be indicative of impairment triggers. Recoverable amounts of relevant assets are reassessed

using value-in-use calculations which incorporate various key assumptions.

Financial Risk Management Policies The Association's finance director is responsible for, amongst other issues, monitoring and managing

financial risk exposures of the Association. The finance director’s overall risk management strategy seeks to ensure the Association meets its financial targets, whilst minimising potential adverse effects of cash flow shortfalls.

(a) Credit Risk The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance

date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Association does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the Association.

(b) Net Fair Values Methods and assumptions used in determining net fair value.

The net fair values of assets and liabilities approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities are readily traded on organised markets in standardised form. Financial assets where carrying amount exceeds net fair values have been written down to the net fair value. The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in the statement of financial position in these notes.

INDEPENDENT AUDIT REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF


Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of New South Wales Women’s Bowling Association Inc. (the

Association) which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2014 and 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,

notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes and the statement by

members of the Board.

Board’s Responsibility for the Financial Report

The Board of the Association is responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in

accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the

Associations Incorporation Act 2009 and for such internal control as the board determines is necessary to enable the

preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in

accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical

requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether

the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial

report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material

misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor

considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that gives a

true and fair view 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 entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the

appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board, as well

as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit

opinion.
