Presidents report for 2007/2008 Season

This past season was the first for the new centre. Coast Buller Timber Sports has at times has been a trying time but also a successful season. There has been mistakes made but I think this was to be expected.

 

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Centre secretary Barry Chalmers for the amount of work he has done setting up the new centre. Well done Barry.

Also I would like to thank all the officials for all the work they have done, especially Denis and Jennifer McLaughlin for their many years of work handicapping and record keeping. A job well done. It is time for someone else to step up as they wish to retire for their position or should I say they have?

Representative honours.

Congratulation to Adam Lowe on making the NZ Team for Sydney.I am sure Adam will only benefit from the experience. Well Done.

Tony Jensen made the juniors again a good effort. I wish him well for his trip to Melbourne.

Also Adam Lowe Neil, Brian Hately and Dave Evans on the effort for the South Island. Brian and Neil,Adam and Sara Nelson,Zabrina Clough are off to Perth at the end of September. I wish them success.

Lastly the two old warriors John Birchfeld and Tony Dense are of to Adelaide in 2weeks to represent the NZ Veterans well done. A big effort will be needed from this team.

The club scene

All the club meetings within the centre were run to a acceptable level, but we all need to be consistant with our rulings. To say it doesn't matter because it is only a local club meeting  is not good enough. All clubs can and should improve this coming season.

The only down side to the past season was the negativety expressed without any offers of help. We all need to work together to make all Chopping Meetings in the Coast Buller area a success for the 2007-2008 Season.
