President’s Report
On behalf of the committee of the Parkside Football Club I would like to welcome members,
sponsors, players and supporters to the 1993 Annual General Meeting.
I believe season 1993, in retrospect, will be looked upon with great pride by the committee both for
the on-field and off-field performances of the club.
The tough decisions of late 1992 and 1993, that had to be made in order to ensure the long term
viability of the Parkside Football Club, have I believe been vindicated.
I can only feel proud that the club has at long last turned the corner in respect of its attitude both
On and off the field, a factor which will hold us in very good stead to launch into what will be an
even more successful season in 1994.
Financially the result which will be reported tonight is an excellent result considering the tough
economic climate that currently exists.
This result has only been achieved due to the tireless efforts of a very committed and determined
committee, and to them I extend my extreme gratitude for their efforts throughout the year.
As a group we held our nerve very well in the face of some extremely difficult decisions, but we
stuck to our guns because we believed in what we were doing and our efforts have been rewarded.
To each and every one of you my thanks for your support.
To our coaching staff headed by Senior Coach Robert Clark, Assistant Coach Zeno Tzatzaris, and
Reserves Grade Coach Kevin Allen, congratulations for jobs well done, especially in light of the less
than bright start to the season.
I trust that Robert Clark's commitment to the Parkside Football Club will be rewarded in season
1994. The discipline and attitude that he has instilled into the players has won him the respect of all
around the club.
To Kevin Allen who departs the club after only one year to take up the Senior Coaching position at
Ascot Vale goes our best wishes and our gratitude for a job well done.
Once a Parksider, Always a Parksider
