Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

I can not speak too highly of Ian Nitschke, our senior administrator. who, in spite of his increased
workload from his employer devoted so many hours to the business of the Parkside Football
Club. Alan deserves the appreciation of all connected with the club.

My thanks go to Rod O'Connor, our director of finance who put in many hours ensurin5 that the
committee had updated information on budgets and finances at all times, also the many hours
spent working on numerous occasions at the club rooms and at bingo.

Pat Considine - fund raiser, social secretary and successful under 13 coach. As everybody could
see, Pat worked hard to provide a full social year for members and friends. His fund raising role
was most rewarding as will be seen in the financial report. Pat also coached the under 13
premiership side, who started the season with only eight players and were in danger of
disbanding.

The club was fortunate to obtain the services of Graeme Wickson who took dyer the position of
junior administrator. I am sure Graeme would have been satisfied with the performances of the
junior sides.
Congratulations go to Pat Considine and his helpers for winning the under 13 premiership. Also to
Hank Witkowski for coaching the under 17 to a grand final and Don Browne-Kerr for reaching the
finals. Thanks to Peter Bessell and Ian Logan for coaching the under 11 and under 9 respectively.

To all the other committee members, I thank you sincerely for your efforts throughout the year.
A special word of thanks must go to Gladys Browne-Kerr and her helpers who staffed the canteen
on Saturdays and Sundays, also to Pat McDougall who did the timekeeping and worked on bingo
sales every week.
To the many people who have worked extremely hard each week, both with the seniors and the
juniors my thanks go to each and every one of you for the way in which you assisted and
supported the club in 1986, for without voluntary support the club would struggle.

I would also like to express my appreciation to the many sponsors who have supported the club
this year and hope we can rely on your support in the future.
We, as a committee, have endeavored to update and improve your club rooms so that players,
ladies and members can be proud to belong to Parkside Football Club. The challenge is now with
us to succeed in 1987.
To reach the top we must work together as a team.

Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
