Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The club was fortunate to again have Graeme Wickson as junior administrator although they
struggled early in the season, the juniors, with the format-ion of a junior committee half way
through the season finished on a high note.

Thanks to Alan Jones U15, Pat Considine U13, Peter Bessel U11 and to all the people who
helped with running the teams.

The under 17 side under Hank Witkowski was made up of mainly under 15 boys and the fact
that they finished just outside the final five speaks volumes for Hank's ability as a coach.

To the committee, I sincerely thank you for your efforts during the season, especially Bernie
O'Connor who took over the running of the bar with the help of Alan Porter. Bernie's excellent
effort will be obvious in the financial report.

A special thanks to Gladys Brown-Kerr and her helpers who staffed the canteen and conducted
the raffle at all the home matches. Gladys was our Parkside best club person for 1986 and
carried through in the same fashion in 1987.

Thanks to Pat McDougall for her contribution as timekeeper for "A" grade and "A" reserves, also
for running bingo sales on Saturday evenings.

To the many people who have worked extremely hard both for seniors and my juniors each
week , my thanks go to each and every one of you, for without voluntary support, your club
would be in great difficulty.

I would like to expres 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.
