5 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - President 125 years and still going strong, enduring world wars, STAFF CHANGES numerous conflicts, a pandemic or two, bowls is a resilient community.

The Board and Staff saw several changes during the year.

We celebrated in style at the Awards Night held this year at Optus Stadium with 277 in attendance. This Gala event saw us induct Kerry Andersen into the BWA Hall of Fame, welcome Roma Dunn as our new Vice Patron and acknowledge Kristina Krstic with the highlights of her Commonwealth Games Gold Medal. Still spine tingling 9 months on.

Phil Manning has joined as our Country Director, his knowledge and passion for the game is great to see. Lee Bunney will not be seeking re-election and we thank her for her contribution, especially in the Club Development area in which she oversaw the set up and rollout of funding.

Aaron Clark started in October 2022 and has had

Committee overhaul along with the Constitution review, that will be up for approval at an SGM later in the year.

Aaron Delaporte's departure is a massive out, but his replacement Clive Adams is a massive in. Aaron has been Memberships are decreasing but social participation is a key player in the development of Bowls Link. His move to increasing at an exciting rate. This is a massive opportunity BA, albeit working from the BWA office, is a natural for clubs and already we are seeing some great initiatives progression and he will continue to contribute at a National from many clubs in this area. level. We thank Aaron and welcome Clive.

LIVE STREAMING

THE NATIONALS COME TO WA

Our charter at BWA is to Promote, Develop and Foster the game of bowls and we continued on with this during the year. We expanded our live streaming of Country Round Robins - Men from Denison BC and Ladies from Halls Head BC. This was enabled by generous sponsorship from the CBH Group and Liquor Traders Australia. This was added to the Country Week finals (AFGRI), State Singles Finals and Metro Pennant Finals (Professionals Real Estate Group).

The numbers watching are easily justifying our financial commitment and exposing the sport and our Sponsors to all corners of the globe.

Exciting times ahead when we welcome all our interstate friends to WA. Sorrento, Joondalup and Warwick have preparations well under way and hopefully other clubs are offering support, especially with the event being held here again in 2026.

Warm up games mid September against Victoria will be good preparation for October and give our teams and high performance group a chance to fine tune their teams. This massive opportunity is all on the back of the generosity of Tourism WA.

7 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - President TEAMS OF THE CENTURY Albeit 125 years, this was a great initiative and well received by all. The research, time and effort was staggering and Pieter Harris should be commended. Pieter shouldered all the work around this with only some input from a few key people for the final selections, which was also greatly appreciated. The teams are listed later in this report.

Pieter now moves onto the Blitz during July which provides the ideal opportunity to players to prove their place, or push for inclusion in what will be a special Sides Series at home.

VOLUNTEERS Thank you to all that generously give of their time to keep this game going all year round. Committee members, umpires, green keepers, selectors, the list is endless and everyone important and essential to the successful running of clubs.

STAFF AND BOARD We have an outstanding staff at BWA and a Board that is cohesive and hard working. Ken Pride provides the link between both groups and is outstanding in how he keeps all informed and involved. Both groups share a common focus of delivering outcomes that are beneficial to the success and running of bowls in WA.

DOUG KELLY President

8 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - CEO The COVID driven uncertainty experienced over the past two seasons would now appear to be behind us.

Although it remains prevalent in our clubs it has not affected any fixtures per se, with events again strongly supported and thankfully no disruptions.

HALL OF FAME INDUCTION FOR KERRY ANDERSEN

A very mild summer was also experienced, nothing like the 2021/2022 season which was incredibly hot, particularly around the Christmas/New Year period. Very few fixtures were interrupted by weather, which perhaps did not assist in the trial of the later start time for Thursday pennant nor the earlier start time for Tuesday pennant – but more of that later.

There is perhaps no more popular Hall of Fame ascension than Past President Kerry Andersen. Formally inducted at the Annual Dinner & Awards Night following nomination from her club Mosman Park, Kerry’s on and off green record is a wonderful testament to her involvement in the game for many years. The cherry on the top of her induction was the awarding of Life Membership of her beloved country club Shackleton, it was a lovely part of the evening and so very well deserved. Throw in the triples title above and it has been some year to remember. Kerry’s full record is shown elsewhere in the Annual Report.

OUR OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCES

FINANCIAL STABILITY CONTINUES

The 2022/2023 season has provided some wonderful highlights, but none more so than the pulsating Gold Medal match in the Ladies Pairs at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Our own Kristina Krstic snatched the ultimate prize on an extra end, teaming with her great friend Ellen Ryan to deny the gallant home town heroes in one of the finest sporting moments, not only of the bowls competition, but of the entire games. The emotion on the green and in our own clubs at the completion of the match will live long in everyone’s memories.

The Director of Finance will offer her full report on the state of the Association’s finances elsewhere, but safe to say, in a challenging year, Bowls WA is well placed to continue to meet those challenges head on. Although reporting a small deficit, the first in a number of years, the reasons behind that are simple; an unbudgeted expense in framing the Club Development and Modernization Strategy and the lack of dividends received from our investment portfolio, a common occurrence the world over.

10 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - Country This is my first annual report after just 12 months on the Board. I did find the first half of the year a little daunting with a lot going on and not really understanding the Board's workings.

The awards night was held at Optus Stadium this year and I think it was a real winner - good venue, food, drinks, presentation and well compered by the smooth Clive Adams.

I must admit there was a lot happening with the rewrite of the constitution along with a new strategic plan to organise.

I soon got to appreciate what the staff actually do for our great game. Our CEO, Ken Pride, is the organiser and is ahead of everything bowls - he makes the job of being a Board Member very easy.

Big congratulations to Warren Holt and Karen Gaglia, our Country Bowlers of the Year, along with Pinjarra, Large Country Club of the Year and Gingin, Small Country Club.

Looking forward to next year, enjoy your break and see you next season.

The rest of the office staff from the administration staff recording and making sure everything is up to date and in the right place, to the two Aaron's and Pieter who run everything out there on the green, they are all so professional. Their work sometimes goes without notice but it is very important and needs recognition.

We lost Aaron Delaporte, our Operations Manager, to Bowls Australia this year, but he has been replaced with a fine replacement in Clive Adams. Clive wears many hats and will fit in with our team easily as he has been around the office as a Regional Bowls Manager for many years.

I would like to thank both Clive Adams and Troy Kinnane, our Regional Bowls Managers, for their great job helping out our Country clubs during the past year. Originally our Southern Manager, Troy is currently covering the whole State, so please use him up as he has lots of knowledge and resources involving all facets of the game.

Congratulations to the Southern Zone for winning both the Men's and Women's IZRR this year, great effort. Thanks to our generous sponsor in CBH for the live streaming of some of the games for the first time. All reports suggest it was well received around the bush and I must admit to enjoying my first foray into the commentary world.

Both Men’s and Women’s Country Week were well attended and we ended up with lots of new faces on the winners podium, congratulations to all and once again a big thanks to CBH for funding the live streaming of all finals.

Country Week continues to have the magic that it always PHIL MANNING has had and it is such an important event on the calendar.

Board Director

11 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - Club Development The Club Development Committee (CDC) is responsible for providing support and assistance to clubs and their members, in whatever form that may take. The CDC works within a tight budget to achieve this objective along with promoting the sport, on behalf of clubs, to the public of Western Australia.

The continued focus areas were: Governance: Strategic, Operations, Risk Management Plans and strategies; Financial viability: Sound and accountable financial management, Cash flow and investment management; Membership recruitment: management and marketing, retention targets and strategies; Club environment: Activities and events, Member surveys and Volunteer Management Plan; Promotion and development: Strategies (community bowls, Jack Attack, attractive events); and Compliance: with Associations Incorporations Act; Liquor Control Act and Club Constitution.

The Strategic Plan continues to provide the future direction of work in this important area to support Clubs state-wide.

Over the last 12 months the CDC has worked hard to deliver on a number of outcomes. The ultimate success of these outcomes is not always instantly recognised with a focus in changing the perceptions of the sport so that it is viewed as accessible to all ages and demographics aligned to the Bowls WA Vision for Bowls for all Western Australians to connect with bowls during their lifetime.

This is something that will be gradual and requires a longterm strategy and investment that will bear fruit in future years.

One of the key initiatives for 2022 was the formation of the Club Grants Program that benefited 22 clubs from a $40,000 investment to see clubs fund a participation program. The program has seen many great ideas emerge, and with clubs reporting on the success of their ideas, we will be looking to help more clubs succeed into the future.

Given the success of the program, the Board has agreed to continue this initiative in 2023 where will once again encourage clubs to think a bit differently and try new things.

13 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - Club Development In January 2023, the CDC was renamed to become the Club and People Development Committee in line with the reforms to the governance structure of Committees. We also had the release of the Club Development Modernisation Strategy 2023 to 2025, which will now guide the CPDC.

Never have they been more important to Clubs than now, given the COVID-19 challenges in the last 3 years.

Finally, to Aaron Delaporte, your work and support to Committee and particular to me cannot be measured. Your commitment and professionalism are un-matched and I sure you will be very successful in your new role with Bowls With the catch cry of Game On! 2025 it will provide the Australia. blueprint for how Bowls WA optimally supports a thriving state-wide network of member clubs to enhance the club I look forward to another year of continuing to provide experience and grow Bowls.

Clubs our support in the 2023/2024 season.

By building capacity within our clubs and delivering attractive offerings, together, we will be able to welcome more people into the WA Bowls community, grow club membership and participation, modernise club business models and increase and diversify club revenue streams.

GAME ON! 2025 has been developed to: Enhance the trust the Bowls WA Club Network has in Bowls WA, through purposeful collaboration, for the benefit of clubs, and the sport.

Ensure we are focussing on what is most important to future proof the Bowls WA Club Network – we don’t have the resources of some larger, commercially focused sports, so we can’t do everything. We must be efficient.

Maximise the relevance, visibility, and impact of Bowls and Bowls clubs within the WA sport and active recreation sector and the broader community.

The three above points will guide the CDPC in 2023 and beyond.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Committee consisting of Lee Bunney, Hailey Packer, Ray Povey and Phil Manning for their solid contribution throughout the year. They provided a wealth of knowledge from their Club and wider community experiences. We also welcomed Aaron Clark to Aaron Delaporte’s team.

To the Bowls Australia Regional Bowls Managers Clive Adams and Troy Kinnane, you do a great job in being the conduit between the Clubs and Bowls WA in ensuring Club VINCE DEL PRETE needs are understood and addressed in a timely fashion.

The Women’s team performed well with four wins and three losses to finish in fourth position. The rink of Noelene Abe, Bev Davidson, Sharon Whana and Irene Leahy were WA’s leading rink with five wins. Irene was also outstanding individually and a worthy Beryl Brennan medal winner.

WA UNDER 18s STATE TEAM

WA's boys fours team did wonderfully well, with Segan Pasalich, Tom Brooks, Brock Kilmurray and Cam Wellington claiming silver in a strong field. WA's Singles representative Callum Alberti performed well and the experience will stand him in great stead for the future.

After a two year wait the WA women’s team finally got to take to the big stage again and saw three ladies make their debut at Broadbeach - Chris Ace-Watson (Mosman Park), Kaitlin Tyrrell (Osborne Park) and Shaan Saunders (Osborne Park). Going into the last round against the undefeated New South Wales team, a win would have seen the ladies finish in second. Unfortunately, WA was outgunned and had to settle for a very respectable third with a five win and two loss record. Lisa Featherby, Robyn O’Brien, Denise Kelly and Shari Solly were WA’s best rink with five wins and Kristina Krstic was again outstanding to win the Beryl Godfrey Trophy.

Cam and Brock also combined in the pairs to finish fourth, and Alex Wasley finished fourth in the fours, playing for the Combined States Side, comprising of selected players not already named in their own State Side.

The WA men’s team was looking to improve on previous years as the selectors introduced five debutants into the side. Warren Holt (Wagin), Blake Nairn (Cambridge), Dale Marsland (Mosman Park), Jack East (Osborne Park) and

Unfortunately, WA was not able to send a girls team to the 2022 Under 18 Championships due to lack of numbers, but a full team of boys were selected and acquitted themselves extremely well.

The Men’s team also had four wins and three losses but finished in fifth position on the ladder. A slow start to the tournament cost the boys dearly but a strong second half put them close behind the leaders. The rink of Eric Johannes, Neville Stevens, Ross Bolton and Jerome Clayton had a great tournament with six out of seven wins.

On debut, Jerome was outstanding and took home the McKenzie/Barns Medal.

WA OPEN STATE TEAMS

BOWLS WA Reports - High Performance Cameron Harris (Cambridge) - all looked at home at Broadbeach.

In one of the most outstanding WA men’s wins in recent times, the whole twelve players picked themselves up after a slow start to come over the top to beat the powerful Victorian team.

A win in the last game against NSW would have seen our boys take 2nd position. They were with NSW the whole match but just fell short on the last end and had to settle for an overall fourth position with four wins and three loses.

It was a very even performance amongst the rinks, with all contributing at different times. Edging in front was Anthony Williams, Shane Knott, Bill Brandsma and Russell Bates with four wins and three losses. Anthony was outstanding in the skip position to take home the Alan Eddy – Rod Wishart Trophy.

Preparations for the 2023 Nationals are well underway.

Excitement is building with the Nationals (event as a whole) in Western Australia in October 2023 for the first time. It has been quite a few years since WA supporters have been able to see our state teams take on the best in Australia.

Host clubs Sorrento, Joondalup and Warwick are sure to do us proud as will our selected players.

AUSTRALIAN JACKAROOS Congratulations to Kristina Krstic, Cody Packer and Lisa Featherby who were all honoured with Jackaroos selection this year. Kristina, our Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, and Cody selected in the Open Jackaroos squad, and Lisa in the Over 60s Jackaroos squad.

Kristina's performance showing that with sheer hard work and steely determination, the ultimate honour in our sport can be achieved, from right here in WA.

BOWLS WA Reports - Umpires The Charter of the Umpires Committee outlines the responsibilities of the committee, ensuring there is adherence to the Laws which control the sport of bowls, and associated to that the training, coordination and development in all its forms of umpiring throughout the state of Western Australia.

The Umpires’ Committee consists of Stephen Beckwith (Gingin), Anne Crabb (Manning), Hilton Dembo (Mt Lawley), Vicki Eva (Mosman Park), Ryan Havercroft (South Perth), David Killisch Von Horn (Bassendean), Werner Tubbe (Warwick), Pieter Harris (Bowls WA representative) and the Chair – Sue Hogg (Manning).

COUNTRY UMPIRES The Umpires’ Committee has been very aware of the need to reach out to country umpires contacts, P&As and players to ensure they are kept informed of changes and developments in laws, policies and the training of officials.

This has been done by way of information notes and online Zoom meetings.

With the initial contact with country P&As, the Umpires Committee realised there was a need to provide all P&As with guidance in conducting courses. The Umpires Committee worked on an outline for both the ‘Reaccreditation’ and the ‘Self-Paced learning’ courses to The committee has been very busy this year becoming ensure there was consistency throughout the state.

BOWLS WA Reports - Umpires NEW LAW BOOK The Laws of the Sport of Bowls Crystal Mark 4th Edition and accompanying Domestic Regulations were introduced in April 2023. A couple of the new laws created much controversy amongst many Member National Authorities and have since been rescinded.

Forums to discuss the new laws have been well attended.

INTERNATIONAL TECHNICAL OFFICIALS International Technical Official Assessments were conducted in Perth in April by World Bowls. Congratulations to Stephen Beckwith (Gingin) and David Killisch Von Horn (Bassendean) who were successful in their assessments, and we wish them all the best for their future umpiring duties as ITOs. There are now ten accredited International Technical Officials in Western Australia – more than any other state in Australia.

Vicki Eva and Sue Hogg were selected to officiate at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and Western Australian ITO officials were again very well represented at the Australian Open.

The opportunities exist for National Umpires to become ITOs and officiate at a higher level and we look forward to assisting those who are interested in the future.

On behalf of the Umpires Committee, I would like to thank all our umpires throughout the state for their contributions to our sport as officials.

In addition, the dedication and commitment to training our officials by the Presenters and Assessors (around 30) throughout the state is greatly valued and appreciated. We look forward to working with you again in the 2023-24 season.

A final thankyou to the team of members on the Umpires Committee for the many valuable volunteer hours SUE HOGG contributed throughout the year.

After a comprehensive review from McLaughlin Sports Consultancy, the Bowls WA Committee structure including the Greens and Infrastructure Committee has undergone some changes which will come into full effect in the 20232024 season. Our valued volunteer greens inspectors will still be doing the annual inspections as well as inspections during the year to pass greens or following up on greens protests, but a smaller Committee will move into the advisory area and will be looking at more practical things that Bowls WA can do to assist all Metropolitan and Country Clubs in the greens and infrastructure area. This will include advice on new synthetic or grass greens or infrastructure from the planning to implementation stage. I look forward to producing meaningful information to help our clubs in whatever future plans they may have, as they make these important upgrades to their facilities.

It has been my pleasure to work with my committee for another season and going forward the Bowls WA volunteer green inspectors will continue to work with clubs to improve the quality of our playing surfaces. The new Committee structure will ensure Bowls WA are both looking after the present with green inspections and first hand interaction and advice, while also looking to assist clubs in future projects.

The number of synthetic greens in the Metropolitan area continues to rise as grass greens seem to be a luxury that clubs cannot afford financially. As we head into the 2023-24 season, we will have slightly more grass greens than synthetic greens at our Metropolitan Clubs. However, with the knowledge that a number of clubs are planning to put in a new synthetic green, there is little doubt that we will finish the 2023-24 season with more synthetic greens than grass greens for the first time. Clubs need to be taking advantage JIM POWELL of the all year round availability of synthetic greens.

BOWLS WA Reports - Inclusive Practices 2022-23 showed a 27% increase in physical disability players at the All Abilities State Championships and a 20% increase in the Bowling Arm State Singles entries. Additionally, the National Bowling Arm Side Series was held in WA for the first time since inception in 2013. These events showcase our 2022 – 25 Strategic Plan of “#PLAY IT” where more people in WA play Bowls in more ways.

BOWLING ARM STATE SIDE

ALL ABILITIES STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS All Abilities State Championships were played at Kardinya Bowling Club with 45 participants and many new players in the Intellectual and Physical Disability categories.

A significant increase in the physical para-players emphasizes the importance players place on the pathway from State to National representation via the newly developed Para Pathway by Bowls Australia.

The side prepared stringently to participate in the National WOMEN'S INTER REGION ROUND ROBIN (IRRR) Bowling Arm Sides Championships, performing brilliantly.

This year's IRRR was played at Morley Bowling Club as the Despite the great preparation, WA could not push Victoria host venue for the Eastern Region. out of the top spot! While ending up tied on points with Queensland in second spot, the aggregate reared its head The players compete in two competitions: and WA came third and won four of five inter-state shields! (1) a round robin tournament of 96 players competing to win the overall IRRR event, and (2) An All Stars Competition where the best 8 players of each region are selected.

This year’s winners, for the second year running, were the Northern Region. Results shown for both games show why Northern is such a strong contender in this event.

BOWLING ARM STATE SINGLES The event was hosted at Warnbro Bowling Club with 54 entries that performed sectional play, alignment, and knockout rounds to whittle down to the 8 quarter finalists by the end of the first day of play. The second day played quarter finals to the final and a new country player struck gold – congratulations to Warwick Glenister from Geraldton. Second place went to last year’s champion, Eddie Gollan from Thornlie, while Equal Thirds (new in 2023) medals were presented to Gail Ecclestone and Michael Spadaccini – both from Bunbury.

Thank you to all host venues Warnbro for the National and State Arm Tournaments, Kardinya for the All Abilities, and Morley for the Women’s IRRR.

The significant increase in entries this year has resulted in next year’s event expanding to three days.

20 BOWLS WA ANNUAL REPORT 2023

BOWLS WA Reports - Fixtures & Events The Bowls WA Calendar from October to May is generally an extremely busy one and this was no different in the 2022-23 bowls season. Aside from the 5 different Metropolitan Pennant Competitions, Bowls WA looks after 30 different events ranging from men’s to women’s to mixed, including Over 60s and Under 18s.

to 2nd Division and below in the 2023-24 season. As discussed at the same meeting, it is not intended to increase the number of Open Gender divisions in the Tuesday or Thursday Pennant Competitions. It is also intended that Women’s Saturday Pennant will continue to be offered and it will be up to Metropolitan Clubs to decide which competitions they enter.

The 2021-22 season had seen quite a rise in entry numbers for many events, possibly due to fewer travel opportunities and players craving games after an interrupted past year. In 2022-23, many of the events were down entries but generally still higher than prior to 2021. The standout event was Women’s Countryweek with 33 more singles players, 12 more pairs teams and 4 more fours teams. The singles entries were the highest since 2012-13 and was brilliantly won by Karen Gaglia (Busselton) who would go on to win the Country Bowler of the Year award.

Bowls WA has had many conversations regarding Open Gender Pennant with several Country Leagues as they also wrestle with similar issues involving open gender rules and dwindling Pennant Numbers in both the Men’s and Women’s Pennant Competitions. Together, by sharing our successes and failures, we must continue to evolve the Pennant Competitions to cater for all our players, while running sustainable competitions. Bowls WA looks forward to continuing and expanding those discussions and sharing ideas with all our metropolitan and country clubs.

Finding venues for all these events continues to be an issue, with a select few Metropolitan Clubs doing the heavy lifting.

We encourage clubs to consider why these events are held and look to find ways they can overcome some of the obstacles that stop them hosting. These events are held for the benefit of your club members, that includes the ones who think they can win and the players who are looking to experience events outside their club. This can only be a benefit to your clubs in the long run. Bowls WA came dangerously close this season to cancelling or at least limiting entries in some events due to a lack of venues.

There must be a solution going forward to allow State events to grow without the fear of cancellation and Bowls WA looks forward to working with clubs to find that solution.

As it is every year, the heat rule continues to be a hotly discussed topic. There are many different opinions as to the rights and wrongs of the rules and temperature gauges in general. This season, Bowls WA trialed the ten minutes rest and 30 minutes playing when the temperature went over 38C method in state events, rather than just stop play until the temperature went below 38C. On the few occasions this was required to be used, it was generally well received by players and umpires a like. Further discussions will take place during the off season to consider if this method could be introduced in some form as the rule for the 2023-24 Metropolitan Pennant Season.

Metropolitan Pennant numbers have generally been steady for several years. The introduction of limited Open Gender Pennant a number of years ago gave a large boost of 14 teams to Tuesday Pennant 3rd Division and they have stayed consistent since. However, the introduction of Open Gender Pennant has not been without its issues as clubs and players alike adjust to the ramifications of it and who can and cannot play. It is still the plan, as discussed at the Presidents Forum at the end of the 2021-22 season, that Men’s Saturday Pennant will become fully Open Gender at the start of the 2024-25 season with it going up one division

Due to generous sponsorship from CBH Group and additional funds from Bowls WA, this season we were able to go to both the Men’s Interzone Round Robin at the Denison Bowling Club and the Women’s Interzone Fours at the Halls Head Bowling Club to provide livestreaming of the events. Both events were extremely enjoyable, and we were wonderfully looked after by both clubs and the players. This was on top of our usual livestreaming of Men’s and Women’s Countryweek, Men’s and Women’s State Singles and Tuesday and Saturday Pennant Finals. It is a big undertaking to livestream an event with all the things that could go wrong with the technology required but we are lucky to have some great volunteers and a wonderful

A final thanks to all our volunteers who help make it possible for Bowls WA to run events that all Western Australian affiliated members can enter, we clearly couldn’t do it without your generosity. Also, to the Bowls WA volunteers doing the work behind the scenes and on the front line, especially Leonie Potts who is fast becoming a stalwart and fan favourite at Bowls WA event finals. While there are some changes in the Bowls WA committee structures going forward, Bowls WA continues to need people able to volunteer their time to be on the front line and run events. If you are somebody who wants to volunteer to help run some Bowls WA events during the year, please let us know as we always need more. It is generally a very rewarding experience and an opportunity to give back to a sport that has been so good for so many people.

BOWLS WA Reports - RBMs It’s been a year of change as we have seen Clubs continue to thrive, whilst changes amongst our team have seen Regional Bowls Manager for the North/East, Clive Adams, depart the role to take on the Operations Manager role at Bowls WA – we thank Clive for his 8½ years of fantastic service to the role, and we look forward to seeing him make further contributions with Bowls WA.

Our wonderful volunteers were also acknowledged with Ivan Perica, Ryan Havercroft and Terry Koltasz all award winners, and perhaps a special award of the night going to Kelli Wray as Coach of the Year – Kelli’s work in the junior space has been second to none, and we can look forward to seeing the fruits of her labour stay in our sport for many years to come.

This year, the RBM team helped clubs in the following areas: GRANTS AND FUNDING There’s been big news in the grants space, with the State Government expanding its provisions under the Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) program.

With over $20 million on offer per year for WA’s sporting projects, across areas like facility development, greens, lighting, and other upgrades, it is a great time to be planning and executing projects you have desired for years.

The CSRFF process is an arduous one, however you simply don’t get the volume of assistance that CSRFF offers without the effort that goes along with it. Our Regional Bowls Managers across Australia have access to successful grants from all over the country and have the great experience that you need to assist with a successful application. Get planning and get us involved!

Bowls WA's Participation Grants were a big hit with clubs.

Yanchep can take a bow for its programs which centered around providing more opportunities for EVERYONE in its community to get involved.

The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments at fair value and land and buildings and is presented in Australian dollars.

Statement of Compliance The special purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, the recognition and measurement requirements of the Accounting Standards, and the disclosure requirements of those of the Accounting Standards that apply to non-reporting entities. Specifically, the following accounting standards have been applied: AASB 101 – Presentation of Financial Statements AASB 107 – Statement of Cash Flows AASB 108 – Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors AASB 1048 – Interpretation of Standards AASB 1054 – Australian Additional Disclosures New Accounting Standards and Interpretations In the current year, the Association has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (“AASB”) that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations relevant to the Association that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet effective, have not been adopted for the annual reporting year ended 30 April 2023. These Standards and Interpretations are listed in the following table:

BOWLS WA Reports - Financial Statements NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities is often determined based on estimates and assumptions of future events. The key estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting year are: (i) Estimation of useful lives of assets The estimation of the useful lives of assets has been based on historical experience as well as manufacturers’ warranties (for plant and equipment) and turnover policies. In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed at least once every year and considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when considered necessary. (ii) Revaluation of land and buildings The Association uses valuation techniques in determining the fair value of the land and buildings. This involves developing estimates and assumptions consistent with how market participants would price the land and buildings.

Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Inventories Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the net selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and net selling costs.

Property, plant and equipment Freehold land and buildings are shown at their fair value (being the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arm’s length transaction). Valuations are performed whenever the Board believes there has been a material movement in the value of the assets, or at least every five years.

Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation of land and buildings are credited to a revaluation reserve in equity through other comprehensive income (OCI). Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the related revaluation reserve through other comprehensive income; all other decreases are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

An annual transfer from the asset revaluation reserve to retained earnings is made for the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost.

Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset.

BOWLS WA Reports - Financial Statements NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Property, plant and equipment (cont.)

Plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Such cost includes the cost of replacing parts that are eligible for capitalisation when the cost of replacing the parts is incurred. All other repairs and maintenance are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.

The cost of each item of property, plant and equipment is written off over its expected economic life, adjusted for any salvage value if applicable. The depreciation rates used for each class of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Buildings and building improvements Motor vehicles Office furniture and fixtures Office and other equipment

2023 2.5% 30% 7.5-22.5% 15-40%

2022 2.5% 30% 7.5-22.5% 15-40%

The depreciation methods used are Prime Cost for Buildings and Diminishing Value for all other classes. Assets of $300 or less are fully depreciated in the year they are purchased.

Decognition An item of property, plant or equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.

Impairment Property, plant and equipment is reviewed for impairment if there is any indication that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

Employee Entitlements Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled and reported as current liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Revenue Recognition Revenue comprises revenue from affiliation fees, sale of goods, rental income, interest revenue and other income. (i) Affiliation fees Revenue in relation to affiliation fees is recognised over the period the performance obligation is met. (ii) Sale of goods Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when the control of goods passes to the customer.

BOWLS WA Reports - Financial Statements NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Revenue Recognition (cont.) (iii) Rental income Rental income arising from agreements is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the agreement terms and included in revenue in profit or loss. (iv) Interest revenue Revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant year using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. (v) Grant income Grant income for contracts with sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognized over time as the performance obligations are satisfied. Grant income for contracts that do not have sufficiently specific performance obligations is recognised immediately upon receipt. (vi) Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when the Association gains control, economic benefits are probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

GST Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except: when the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in which case the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable, and receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included.

Commitments are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

Income taxes The Association is exempt from income tax under Division 50-A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

Financial instruments Recognition, initial measurement and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Association becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument and are measured initially at fair value adjusted by transactions costs, except for those carried at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities are described below. Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and all substantial risks and rewards are transferred. A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.

BOWLS WA Reports - Financial Statements NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2023 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont.)

Financial instruments (cont.)

Classification and subsequent measurement of financial assets The Association classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or through profit or loss), and those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the Association’s business model for managing the financial assets and contractual terms of the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or OCI. For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Association has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

All financial assets are subject to review for impairment at least at each reporting date to identify whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Different criteria to determine impairment are applied for each category of financial assets, which are described below. All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognised in profit or loss are presented within finance costs or finance income.

Debt instruments The Association’s debt instruments include trade receivables. Trade receivables are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses).

Impairment losses are presented as separate line item in the statement of profit or loss.

Equity instruments The Association’s equity instruments include listed and unlisted securities. The Association subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Association’s right to receive payments is established.

Impairment The Association assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

For trade receivables, the Association applies the simplified approach permitted by AASB 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

Comparative information Comparative information has been restated where required for consistency with current year disclosures.
