Parkside Football Club 1897/2017

TREASURERS REPORT 1996 SEASON

The Parkside Football Club had a successful year on field whilst still maintaining a healthy overall
financial position in a very competitive competition.

The loss for the year was $2,443 which reduces the overall funds available to the Parkside Football
Club from $13,909 to $11,466 at the end of the financial period.

Given the overall success achieved during the year, the loss reported was acceptable, however our
capacity to sustain future losses is limited.

In this regard, it is essential that the Parkside Football Club increases its revenue base.

Most notably there needs to be increased support by members and players in fund raising efforts
particularly for the forthcoming year as it is likely with the current developments that our traditional
revenue base will be eroded.

Accordingly, whilst we are financially sound and look forward to the forthcoming season the
challenge to increase our revenue base confronts us all.

COACHES REPORT 1996 SEASON

Reflecting on what was simply a GREAT YEAR for the club and all involved, our rewards 2 flags, and a
year where players become very competitive in their efforts to push towards senior selection.

To have 38 senior members play A grade football had a significant effort on the years result, I believe
two areas come to mind when asked what turned the success around, players learned not to dwell
on the past and move forward to the next challenge one week at a time, also players confronted
with expectation answering all their efforts honed in on nothing but success made for a solid
combination.

I believe most players answered that challenge left with some perhaps a little reluctant to change.

The club at present is set to further progress if we continue to keep our aims focused on the
expectation knowing that being TOP DOG teats our game even further into 1997 season.
