Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

I have indicated to the Committee that I will not be in a position to accept nomination for office in
1985 but am sure that the Secretary you elect this evening shall enjoy the same support I have.

FINANCIAL REPORT

In many ways the 1984 financial year has proven to be very successful in that we have been able to
maintain our costs at an acceptable level, whilst still having competitive sides in all grades of the
League.

My belief that we must be successful on the field as well as off is still foremost in mind and I hope
this will be observed in - the coming season.

It is most pleasing to note that we have finally completed our Scoreboard/Kiosk. This project cost the
Club $12000 and hopefully will very quickly repay this outlay.

The efforts of Gladys Browne-Kerr and her helpers in raising $3500 was magnificent and it is only
hoped that Gladys will have a change of heart and be with us next year.

Mick Rothford's efforts in fund raising are very much appreciated and no doubt will be explored
further next season. Bingo again has proven to be the life blood of our Club and many thanks to
Neville O'Connor for controlling these accounts.

It would be remiss of me not to personally thank Bruce Dolphin for his tremendous help during my
years both as a player and committeeman. No doubt he will be sadly missed from the Club.

Finally I would like to thank all those who have assisted me throughout the year.
