Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

The major sources of fund raising revenue came from the following , Special Efforts $12,863, Black
and White Raffle $4,190, Games Day $5,097 and the Powell Raffle $3,826. Special thanks must go to
Jim Lee and Peter Filbin for running special efforts (Christmas Club) each Thursday and Friday night.
Also deserving a special thank you is Brian Moore, Mick Rochford and Michael Scott for looking after
the Parkside Football Club Raffle each Thursday night.

Memberships and Players levies both continue to show a declining trend, down 23% and 16%
respectively on last year. Both are indicative of the Clubs declining player and supporter base.

Bar profits rose 12% to be $18,182 for the year. Sales improved by 9% while purchases and wages
rose a combined 7%. Thanks again to Jim Lee for his efforts in looking after the bar this year. The PFC
traded on Friday nights this year, which helped contribute to the bars improved result.

Canteen income was down 18% on last year, a disappointing result but not surprising given the low
attendance levels at many of our games this year.

Sponsorship revenue is a major concern to this Club at the moment.

It is obvious we are dropping behind other clubs in this department and as such need to push hard in
this area next year.

Thanks also to Peter Filbin and Mark Andrews for their Junior donation of $300.

Expenses were again well contained this year. Equipment costs rose $763 for the year. A major share
of this increase coming about from the purchase of 46 new jumpers. Congratulations to Vic
Mctaggert for coming in $400 below his medical expenses budget for the year.

Room improvements were $561 for the year and include purchases of a second hand television and
hi fi system.

Team Maintenance expenses of $47,806 were our largest single expense and rose 10% from last
year. This equates to approximately $2,655 for every time we run out onto the field.

Sky Channel was introduced into these rooms this year, and although I was skeptical about its value
at first, I am now of the opinion that it has been instrumental in our progress this year, and therefore
well worth the expense of $5,116.

Once again thanks to all my fellow committee members in assisting me in my job as Treasurer for
the 1993 season.
