Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

1981 saw the establishment of a Board of Management, with the appointment of Directors in
various capacities, rather than operation under a Committee system. The majority response to this
system was very favourable. To these Directors I say thank you for the many hours put in which
made my "job" a non-event as all aspects of controlling the various areas in the Club were so capably
handled by the Directors:

• Rod O'Connor - Director (Finance)
• John Crouch - Director (Fund Raising)
• Peter Bishop - Director (Social)
• Bruce Dolphin - Director (Administration)

To the Committee and all other people who played a part in our success a sincere thankyou and of
course the Club looks forward to continued support in future years.

Being not a person to reflect on the past it is essential I believe to commence planning for years
ahead, both to maintain-our position at the top of the footballtrce and also to continue the building
progrmn and maintain our fund raising. Plans already for the first mentioned are in operation for
1982.

In relation to buildings agreement has been reached with the Tottenham Baptist Cricket Club for
part use and cost of a kiosk and scoreboard which will be in use by mid 1982. Plans are also being
prepared for improvements to the showers and toilets area, bar facilities and in the longer term
extensions from the social area out over the building soon to be vacated by the Youth Club. A further
longer term proposal is to extend from the change roam area in the same direction. So it can be
seen things have happened and will continue in the future.

I have enjoyed my year as President of the Parkside Football Club even though I have not been able
to put the time in to the position that I wished. The premiership was extremely gratifying, having not
been able to achieve one when coach of the Club.
