Parkside Football Club 1897/2017
FOOTSCRAY DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE

For the League 1985 has been a tremendous success and congratulations must go to Ron Angwin,
Lindsay Patching and the band of hard workers around them.

This was Lindsay's first year as full time Administrator and he did an excellent job for the league.

FINANCIAL

Rod O'Connor had the unenviable job of controlling the finances during 1985. The club has
continued to meet all obligations as they fell. As always Rod has done an excellent job and we are
most fortunate to have a person of Rods ability in this position.

FUND RAISING

Mick Rochford again took on the job of organising and fund raising. This season as in previous years
proved extremely difficult to separate people from their money. Once again many thanks go to Mick.

HOUSE

Peter Bishop took on the job of managing the clubrooms and bar, he proved to be very capable in
this area. We extend our thanks to you Peter.

SOCIAL

Pat Considine had the task in front of him with arranging social activities but with little fuse provided
the best social calendar for quite a few years. With the support of all and now knowing the excellent
functions that can be arranged we should have a great 1986. Many thanks Pat.

RECRUITING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS

Ron Fraser once again undertook these duties combined with his role as chairman as selectors,due
to a health problem with Ron's son he was unable to put in the time required as chairman of
selectors and this position was filled by Rod O Connor during the latter part of the year. But as
always when Ron was needed to assist the club in any way he was there. Thanks Ron.·

COMMITEE 1985

Nick Condos, Gary Cocks, Peter Favaro, Lindsay Murphy and Peter Pilbin constituted the balance of
our General Committee. Throughout the year they have contributed strongly at committee meetings
and in helping with our club functions. A special thanks to Gary Cocks who took upon himself the
task of looking after the junior teams which he did with a minimum of fuss. Our most sincere thanks
to Gary for a job well done.

LIFE MEMBERSHIP

There are no nominations for Life Members this year as the Committee felt these should not be
handed out lightly.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
