President’s Report

Belmont 16’s has again enjoyed an extremely successful year in which the Club has operated in a far more stable environment without enduring lockdowns or other pandemic restrictions.

It has been a year of milestones, highlighted by the Club celebrating its Centenary in style on 7 October last year in the Spinnaker Room with a terrific night of quality food and beverage, marquee entertainment and reminiscing with many Members who have laid the foundations for the magnificent Club that we have today. We celebrated a series of Club milestones which included some amazing archival footage and was a fitting way to recognise such a significant moment in our Club’s history. I encourage you to travel back in time and view some of these milestone presentations by visiting our website

The transformation of your Club is progressing well with the Centenary Project due to be completed in November. Although the project has experienced some delays due to weather, supply chain blockages and some engineering constraints, there have been only nominal cost overruns which are well within our contingency allowance. We have received much positive feedback regarding the stages that have already opened including the ground floor dining precinct and the new indoor/outdoor facility. I am confident that you will be even more impressed when you see the new first floor facilities and entry.

I fully expect that the new first floor bar and restaurant will be the jewel in the crown of our Club and possibly the region. This venue is to be named Martha and will be flooded with natural light from the massive skylights and magnificent views including both indoor and outdoor seating areas as well as a food and beverage selection that will be the envy of many. The story behind the name Martha is intriguing, as in the year 1800, Martha was the 30-tonne schooner that Captain William Reid accidentally sailed into what we now know as Lake Macquarie.

I thank our members for their understanding, patience and continued patronage through the building process. I am convinced the “short term pain” will be justified by “long term gain”.

Whilst sailing is the foundation of our existence and the core objective of our Club, we are proud to be connected to our local community through a broad range of charities, not for profits and sporting groups who we continue to support. Some examples of funding we have provided in the past year include partnering with Hunter Heart Safe to install 7 x automated external defibrillators that are accessible to the public throughout eastern Lake Macquarie, further diversifying the sporting clubs we sponsor by welcoming Valentine FC, assisting Land Care to eradicate weeds at Green Point as well as the many grass roots groups we assist with fundraising through the donation of gift vouchers.

I believe that the success which the Club has enjoyed in recent times is in no small part due to the stability we have enjoyed at both Board and Senior Management levels. Led by our CEO Scott Williams, our staff and management team provide our members and guests with an experience second to none in our Region. Thanks also to my fellow members of our Board of Directors for their hard work and dedication to ensuring the Club’s continued success.

Exciting times for the Club are just around the corner as we all look forward to enjoying the benefits of our new facilities.

David Berryman President

Chief Executive Officer’s Report

Once again it is my pleasure to present my 19th annual CEO report to our loyal Members for the year ended 31 March 2023.

As we leave the disruption associated with Covid behind us, we face other challenges such as cost of living pressures, staff shortages and internal distraction as we progress through the Centenary Project construction program. Despite these variables, our performance against a variety of benchmarks remains robust and above expectation. Financially, our after tax surplus of $3.226M is comparable to the previous year and in excess of our forecasts, with the strength of our balance sheet enabling the Club to fund the first full year of the construction program using cash reserves.

Our Members have shown high levels of resilience over the last year, which I thank you for. The construction process has necessitated some facilities being closed, modified or relocated, not to mention the noise and inconvenience. I assure you that this disruption will be well and truly offset as the facilities gradually reopen and unlock the potential of your Club. It is important to remember that the contractors undertaking the Centenary Project are predominantly Hunter based, which helps drive our local economy and sustains employment. A special thanks head contractor Graph Building from Adamstown, and in particular Construction Manager John King and Project Manager Peter Martin for their efforts and contribution.

We are concurrently installing a mezzanine level in the existing Brian Ellis Boat Shed which will consolidate our sailing facilities on the eastern side of our site. This new facility will house our race management operations including enhanced technology, sailing administration facilities, meeting rooms for briefings and training as well as a reconfiguration of our boat racking which is required due to the growth in fleet sizes. We expect that this project will be completed in time for the start of the 2023/24 sailing season.

Our brand is more than just a name and logo, a better analogy would be that our brand is our DNA. We have been reflecting on some of the attributes that are unique to our Club and recently engaged with a variety of different stakeholders including our revered Life Members. Through this process we identified the key pillars of our brand as welcoming people, respecting legacy, inspiring excellence and sailing ahead. Keep your eyes out in the coming months for some transition in our overall branding and messaging which strikes a balance between tradition and evolution.

Beyond the facilities that we have on offer it is our staff who work together as a team to provide the interactions, understanding, engagement and smiles as they strive to achieve service excellence to make our Members experience enjoyable. I would like to pay tribute to our team and thank each of our 152 employees for their contribution to our success, especially in light of the disruption to their workplace over recent times. To our management team I would like to provide you with the accolades that you rightly deserve and applaud your achievements and dedication over the past year.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to President David Berryman and his fellow Directors for their professionalism, commitment and support. This group work together cohesively to focus on strategy, oversight and fulfilling their governance obligations in a dynamic environment to ensure the ongoing success of your Club.

Like any Club we would not exist without our loyal Members and I thank you for choosing Belmont 16s as your Club. We hope that the enhancement of our facilities helps provide a recurring dividend for your ongoing loyalty.

Scott Williams Chief Executive Officer

Commodore’s Report

This year Club racing was back to normal across all classes, with the skiffs enjoying average weekly fleet sizes well into the low 30’s. Saturday afternoon saw consistent numbers of Cherubs, while the Laser fleet was again very strong, all very encouraging signs.

Ben Bruniges, Justin Sharrock, and Dave Hickey teamed up to claim the Lion Club Championship this year, sailing NFPG. Ross Stutchbury, Ben Pilley and Shane Burke sailed Pepsi Max to victory in the Aristocrat Yearly Pointscore. Wonderful recognition for what was a very consistent performance this season, congratulations!

On the representative stage Belmont crews performed strongly. Scott Babbage’s crew sailing SKE Electrical were our highest ranked entrant finishing 4th in the 16ft Skiff Nationals. The State Titles were hosted by both St George Sailing Club and Gosford Sailing Club this season Rod Carter’s crew sailing Insight Building Services were our highest ranked entrant finishing 5th overall.

On the Cherub representative stage, it was Belmont’s time to shine with Wangi Wangi hosting the Cherub Australian Championships. Belmont excelled with seven boats finishing in the top ten. Harden Up sailed by Banjo Nicholson and Thomas Steenson claimed victory finishing 1st overall in the Cherub Australian Championships. On a state level, Camel Toe sailed by Luke Sullivan and James Walters placed 3rd overall in the NSW State Championships.

At the Club level, Cherub Club Champion this year was Harden Up – Banjo Nicholson and Thomas Steenson, while the Cherub Pointscore Winner was Renegade – Smith Davies and Finn Pirret. In the Lasers our Club Champion this year was Hurley – Thomas Farley and the Yearly Pointscore Champion was No Hassles – Wayne Thomas.

As always, I congratulate our various Start Crews, Rescue Boat Crews, Radio Officers, and numerous Volunteers. Without these individuals giving so freely of their time, week in and week out, our racing simply would not be possible. Thanks, must also go to our generous Sponsors, the Club, its Board of Directors, Management and Staff. We are all extremely fortunate to benefit from your support and assistance.

Finally, I would like to thank our Vice-Commodore Matthew Waters, our wonderful Sailing Committee, Administration staff Nadine Steenson and David Sullivan. Their advice and support throughout the season has been greatly appreciated, contributing to another successful and enjoyable season.

2023 Time Capsule

THE RESULTS ARE IN!

The Centenary Project Redevelopment presented a great opportunity for our Members to contribute to a Club focused time capsule, giving the next generation of Belmont 16s Sailing Club Members insights, fond chuckles and “I remember that!” moments.

We received many pieces of advice, insights and item suggestions for inclusion in our time capsule along with a date our Members felt would be best to open this slice of 2023 Belmont 16s Club life and we are excited to share these details with you.

ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE TIME CAPSULE AS VOTED BY OUR MEMBERS:

• Belmont 16s 100 Year Centenary Celebration Booklet

• Belmont 16s Sailing Presentation Program for The 2022/2023 Season

• Belmont 16s 2023 Membership Card and the story behind it’s featured artwork

• A current 2023 newspaper

• Renovation before and after images

• Images from the Club over the past 10 decades

It was voted by Members to re-open the time capsule in 25 years. See you in 2048!

The site selected for the time capsule is under the model skiff crafted by long time Club Member Scott Sherry, in 2005 which is now located in the Boat Shed Bar.

Your Predictions For The Next Generation

“People will have more concern and care for our planet. Even our lake will become more important to the future environment.”

“The Club will continue to get better.”

“Everyone will be using flying cars.”

“Drones will be apart of everyday life.”

“People will work less and spend more time looking after the earth and each other.”

Your Advice For The Next Generation

“Travel Australia first.”

“Keep sailing, especially the Junior Sailing Program.”

“Take the time to enjoy our beautiful lake and surrounds. Enjoy it and look after wildlife.”

“Enjoy the Club now as it started from very humble beginnings, when I joined the Club only had around 400 Members.”

“Being courteous costs nothing, but is always appreciated.”

“Make time for family and friends regularly, time moves quickly and you can’t go back.”

Works Underway For Brian Ellis Boat Shed

Works on additions to the Brian Ellis Boat Shed have commenced under the guidance of the Sailing Committee. Lambton based construction company Skelcon will complete all renovations prior to the beginning of the 2023 / 2024 sailing season.

The ground floor is being reconfigured receiving new custom racks to accommodate the various requirements of our Clubs growing fleet, while the installation of a new mezzanine level will offer flexible spaces accommodating for sailing administration facilities, meeting rooms for briefings and training areas for junior sailing and tackers.

The new “Race Control” (architectural renderings right) will enjoy the panoramic water views from the eastern side of Club as well as enhanced technology measures in the addition of CCTV live streaming to several new monitors.

“I am excited about the end vision, a space where so much can be combined and achieved all under the one roof.” -

WHEN SELECTING OUR IMPACT PARTNERS, WE FOCUS ON FIVE KEY AREAS:

☀ Marine care and preservation

☀ Waste minimisation

☀ Regenerative considered development

☀ Environmental stewardship

☀ Carbon offsetting

Belmont High School Harvest Garden Project

INTRODUCING OUR FIRST IMPACT PARTNERS!

Belmont High School’s Special Education facility is in the final stages of completing their edible Harvest Garden Project with the help of our $2,000 Impact Partners donation! The garden is focused on project-based learning to develop life skills for students where they will grow and sell organic vegetables within their school community, instilling an understanding of sustainable gardening practices in our next

generations. Students will be collecting and utilising the produce seasonally, developing their knowledge on identifying the various planting and harvesting cycles of fruits and vegetables in this climate. Students will also be taught how to read and create recipes around the foods pulled from this garden, as they cook and prepare meals in the Belmont High School facility kitchen. This garden will also provide as a sensory space and chill-out area which is very important for our support students.

“We would like to thank Belmont 16s for their very generous donation under the Impact Partners Program, Belmont 16s Sustainability Initiative. This money will be used towards the completion of the Harvest Garden and levelling the area, ensuring the safe accessibility for all students.”

Kelly Wilcox, Belmont High School

Weed Eradication At Green Point Reserve

Located less than 2km from our Sailing Club most of our Members may have walked, cycled, picnicked, fished, or in someway, have used one of the local natural treasures that is the 152ha site of Green Point Reserve.

Not only does this reserve provide a wonderful natural leisure playground for locals it also contains a wide range of plant communities including three Endangered Ecological Communities and a variety of threatened species including the Powerful Owl, Squirrel

Glider and Sea Eagle. However, today in some parts it’s still overrun with feral plant species exacerbated by the recent lengthy wet season making it a greater challenge to keep feral weeds at bay. Since the late 1980s, volunteers have worked to regenerate the beautiful bushland at Green Point, currently a small team spend a few hours each Wednesday working towards controlling the spread of noxious and feral weeds.

Marion Lugg of Lake Macquarie Land Care explains that Belmont 16s’ donation of $2000 will go towards a full day of volunteers working towards the eradication of these weeds, this action will assist in making the long term control much easier to tackle! The bush regeneration team plans to goes to work on Wednesday 12 July. We will keep our members updated through socials with before and after photos of the clean up.

Belmont 16s Centenary Project Update

GROUND FLOOR REVEALED!

Stage one of our ground floor renovations has revealed our fresh coastal interior fit out, a key element that feature throughout the entire Centenary Project redevelopment.

The newly rebranded SALT Kitchen and Sails Eatery space boasts light terrazzo tile, herringbone wooden floors, elevated ceiling aspects and of course vast windows as far as your gaze can stretch across Belmont Bay! Antique brass detail and coastal navy splashes feature throughout the area in aesthetic and functional ways.

The furniture selected to cater for extended diner capacity of 472 was proudly produced and tested right here in Australia as a first for Melbourne based company Identity Furniture offering a plethora of seating options in the eatery, lakeside lounge, waterfront Courtyard as well as the indoor-outdoor dining spaces. While some of the finishing touches are still being finalised, our next stage is already underway.

Make Your “I Do’s” Unique

Statement Aisles

Consider creating an aisle with a design element by lining the aisle with greenery or candles, placing the smaller arrangements only every few rows.

Meet In The Middle

Brides are commencing their walk down the aisle solo before being greeted by their Mother or Father or both, this adds a personal and heartfelt touch.

Midday Ceremony

Choosing a midday ceremony allows for natural light and beautiful glow from the sun to feature in your photos. Plus, you can still snap some incredible sunset photos over the lake during the Reception!

Have A Drink!

It’s never too early to celebrate! Share a drink and sip away with your friends and family as you join together in marriage.

Dramatic Arrival

Why not arrive by boat or helicopter? Stand out by making an entrance by water, imagine the photos!

Ring Warming

Have your rings passed around or left at the entry into the ceremony to be blessed by your guests. Hot tip: Keep them tied together or kept in a box, you won’t want to have one go missing!

Uninterrupted lake views of Belmont Bay for your ceremony and reception at The South East View. Offering exclusive use of open air over water terraces and a stylish sophisticated space, this is the perfect location for your lakeside wedding.

Paying It Forward

While we have been fortunate to be able to upgrade many of our facilities for our Members this year, we acknowledge that many not-forprofit based organisations rely on donations to better provide to their core community base, making the donation of our redundant furniture and kitchenware an easy choice to make.

We are committed to sourcing groups who lack commercial funding, have a need for these items and would ensure that they possessed a “pay it forward” attitude within their own organisations ethos.

Do you know of a not-for-profit or charity group that could you or help? Click below and let us know!

WHO ELSE CAN WE HELP?

From this we are delighted to have donated:

• 160 serving trays given to Oz Harvest to assist with the service of their meals to the under privileged.

• 500 Plates delivered to Survivors R Us to serve meals to women and children experiencing hardship or escaping Domestic violence situations.

• Donating over 100 chairs and 50 tables to community-based Croatian Club at Wickham

Let’s Tackle Brain Cancer

WE CELEBRATED OUR 6TH ANNUAL MARK HUGHES FOUNDATION BEANIES FOR BRAIN CANCER EVENT ON 29 JUNE.

“The more money we can inject into research programs now means better diagnostics, more treatment options and ultimately a cure for brain cancer. These very beanies not only help patients battling brain cancer today - but they give hope for brain cancer patients of the future. It may not be you that needs a cure - but sadly, it could be your parent, sibling, your uncle, your friend, your future child or great grandchild. We all benefit from these little beanies – and our hope for the future is that no one has to go through this battle that is brain cancer.”

Every cent raised from the sale of MHF beanies goes towards research into brain cancer and the treatment and care of brain cancer patients.

As a result of the combined effort of selling 2023 beanie stock along with donating all funds from our Thursday night meat raffle, we are pleased to once again to be donating $7,997 to this incredibly worthy cause!
