Once again Graham Dennis and his Board had another busy year. Roland Phillips continued to carry out his many duties<br />

as General Manager and our thanks go to Roland and also to Virginia Hughes who does a great job with our financial<br />

accounts. This year saw the resignation of our Administrator, Angela Dunn. I would like to thank Angela for her efforts<br />

over the past 6 years and the <strong>Club</strong> wishes her well in her future pursuits. Angela has been replaced in the Administrator<br />

role by Pam Phillips.<br />

The <strong>Club</strong>’s congratulations must also go to two of our life members. Our Patron, Graeme Leggat, on receiving the Queens<br />

Service Medal (QSM) honours for services to the community, and to Nick Craig on receiving NZ <strong>Cricket</strong>’s Sir Jack Newman<br />

award for services to junior cricket and administration. These two honours are just recognition for two of our <strong>Club</strong><br />

members who have worked tirelessly for others over many years.<br />

I believe that 20<strong>12</strong>/13 is going to be one of our most difficult years yet. Funding from gaming trusts to all sports clubs<br />

appear to be “drying up”. Funds have to be obtained elsewhere i.e. sponsors. Sponsors are not easy to find and the<br />

Board is going to have to come up with some new strategies to find funding and it is hoped that the club members may<br />

come up with some ideas that can help us in this area.<br />

We must all work together in order for this club to remain one of the powerhouses in Auckland <strong>Cricket</strong>.<br />

Malcolm Haliday<br />

President<br />
