Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The U 11 Best and Fairest award was won by Shaun Hocking and the Club offers him their
congratulations.

UNDER 9

First year coach Peter Bessell was appointed just prior to the season and proved to be an excellent
coach and recruiter. He assembled an enthusiastic and willing group of workers who combined to
enable our U9's to enjoy their most successful season to date.

Ross Douglas won the Best and Fairest award and will prove to be an excellent player for the Club as
he grows older.

APPRECIATION

A Club such as ours relies on people who are willing to give freely of their time and labour to enable
it to continue to operate.

The Parkside Football Club is fortunate to have so many of those people and to the Directors,
Committee, Officials and helpers the Club wishes to record its appreciation.

To mention all who help would prove impossible but I would like to record special thanks to Gladys
Browne-Kerr who runs our Club Canteen, Pat McDougall who is time-keeper for the A1 & A2 teams
and runs the Club's Bingo game, Harold Philistin who put in countless hours as Head Trainer, Herb
Pascarl who cleans the rooms after the rest of us have run riot and Clive Blair who runs our Sunday
morning social gathering.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP

Your Committee has great pleasure in recommending to this Annual General Meeting that Peter
Clarke be elected a Life Member of the Club in recognition of his services to the Club.

SPONSORSHIP

The 1983 season saw a dramatic increase in sponsor support for the Club. Mr Vic Malney of Malneys
Motor Body Works supported all Open Age sides with Best Player Awards and provided additional
awards for the finals series. The Club appreciates Vic's support and hopes it will continue for many
years.

Our Director (Fund Raising) Mick Rochford organised a Sponsor's Club Calendar and to all who
supported this venture the Club records its thanks.

FINANCIAL

The Director (Finance) Rod O'Connor's report is attached for your consideration. The continued
growth in our operations is reflected in these statements and the Club is most appreciative of Rod's
work in this area.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
