Annual Report 5
BOWLS WA REPORTS - PRESIDENT President’s Report Over the past 12 months there have been a number of strategic changes made to the way the Association operates and will operate into the future, primarily to do with the advent of new technology and the emergence of social media. These changes, although difficult for some, are necessary to keep us on pace with the wider society. We must embrace technology to remain relevant.
Finance and Governance
Further detail is provided in the Director of Finance’s report, however I am very pleased to note that the Association booked a surplus of $28,795 for the 2012/2013 financial year. This surplus did not include a provision that has been made for the purchase of the Australian Premier League (APL) franchise and costs associated with the review of the strategic plan. This result is particularly pleasing given the difficult economic times that have been faced, with a declining (albeit less than recent years) capitation number, the continued battle for sponsorship dollars and a declining interest rate received for the Association’s investments. To achieve this result costs have been thoroughly scrutinized and where possible reduced without affecting the services provided to clubs and bowlers. The board remains committed to reporting a surplus each year and continuing to grow the Association’s asset base. My personal thanks to Jean Gregory for her outstanding service on the board over the past seven years in the role of Treasurer/Director of Finance and wish her well on her retirement from the board.
Participation
Wendy Ireland and her committee have worked tirelessly in a most difficult portfolio. As most would be aware the numbers of capitated bowlers is reducing worldwide and has done so in Australia since the mid 1980s. Of course the explosion of the game (or variations of it) at a social and/or corporate level over the past decade has thrown up a great many challenges. In many instances clubs are thriving on the added income generated by these players, whilst the past backbone of the game, pennant bowls, is ever so slowly dwindling. Society is changing and what society wants from their sport and recreation is also changing. Bowls WA is committed to find ways to “bridge the gap” between the social bowler and the full member in order to continue the viability of the game at all levels.
Bowls Management
Significant change occurred in the make-up of this important committee over the past 12 months. All sections of the bowls fraternity are represented with delegates elected from the clubs, joining with umpires, greens officials, members of the match committees and country involved. Under the chairmanship of Deputy President Graham Leeks, the BMC is now well set to continue to provide an overarching management of the game at all levels. This has already been particularly evident in the increased communication and sharper response times with clubs concerns and the greater discussion that has occurred on proposed changes to Conditions of Play and the like. The BMC will continue to be the central plank in the administration of the game on the green and I would urge all clubs to maintain communication with the club delegates on the BMC or with the operational committees direct for issues of concern.
Annual Report 6
Country
Similarly the Country Committee was rationalized over the past year and I thank the committee for their support in that undertaking. Under Director of Country Kerry Andersen the committee continues to provide a strong voice for the regions and although not all always goes to plan, BWA is committed to the game and our members within the clubs, leagues and zones. The continuing growth of country week, particularly in the men, gives the committee and the board confidence in going forward, whilst acknowledging the many challenges faced by those in the bush. In my many trips to carnivals during the year I am buoyed by the optimism shown by those participating and extend my thanks to the always genuine hospitality shown by the carnival hosts, in whichever town that may be.
Partnerships
It would be remiss of me not to thank the many important partners involved in the game in WA. The support of the Department of Sport and Recreation (DSR) is second to none in Australia and the funding and general support offered by the department at all levels of the game, including the significant assistance provided by the CSRFF, is very much appreciated. To our major metropolitan pennant sponsor in BCiB and their Managing Director Ian Hopper our continued thanks for the long time support of the game throughout Australia and to Crown Perth who joined us this year as a major supporter of country bowls our thanks is also extended. In addition to Healthway (Junior Development Program), Henselite (Country Week / State Triples), Bowls World (State events), APIA (Volunteer program) and Clubs WA (Metropolitan Club of the Year / IZRR funding) our continued thanks for the support offered in assisting in the financial viability of the game. My thanks and those of the Board to Bowls Australia through President Des Skinner and Chief Executive Officer Neil Dalrymple. The relationship between the two bodies continues to strengthen and although not always initially on the same page, the outcomes sought are always seeking to be beneficial to the game in general. We were pleased this year to welcome Des to the Bowls WA Annual Awards evening and from all reports he enjoyed the hospitality of the West. We look forward to growing that relationship in 2013/2014.
The road ahead
There is much interest in a number of new initiatives recently announced. The Whole of Sport IT program will further elevate the connectivity between all levels of the game and for the first time offer a truly national platform for clubs, states and BA to operate. It is believed that significant benefit will be derived at all levels once the system is bedded down and fully operational. In BWA’s case this is certainly planned for the 2013/2014 pennant season. The Bowls in Australia strategic plan enacted on 1 July, provides a pathway for the future not only at a national level, but for the game generally in Australia. Bowls WA will now seek to restructure its strategic plan for 2014-2016 within a similar framework. Finally my thanks to my fellow members of the board and to the staff for their work during the course of the year. Much is often done by a few and the operation of the Association both at a game level and financially is in good hands.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - CEO
Chief Executive Officer Report The past 12 months has seen a period of consolidation for the Association, with minimal staffing changes, a continuation of the existing board (together with the appointment of Therese Hastings) and the maintenance of a very solid financial footing. This is perhaps evidenced by the general feeling of satisfaction by clubs at the President’s and Ladies Forums held in May and the very constructive dialogue held during those meetings. The Association will continue to fine tune its activities, including our various Conditions of Play as a result of those meetings. One change however is the retirement of the Association’s Director of Finance Jean Gregory after serving for seven years on the board, all as what was originally the role of Treasurer. Jean has been an integral part in steering the Association’s finances to a position of strength and financial stability. Her strong belief in protecting members and clubs from substantial capitation increases is well known at board level and the Association’s thanks are extended to her for the significant service provided. Joining the board to fill this vacancy will be Wiggy Harley a qualified Accountant and member of the Mundaring Bowling Club. Wiggy’s work on the Rules Committee is well known in bowling circles and I look forward to her input at a board level.
Committee Structure
One area that has seen some significant change over the past 12 months has been the restructuring of the Bowls Management Committee (BMC), the country committee and the various operational committees, In the main the rationalization of these committees has proved very positive with a far quicker response to member and club issues flowing from the streamlined decision making process. A full review will be carried out on the system in the weeks ahead to ensure it continues to work for the betterment of the membership and the game. My personal thanks to all committee members for their on-going voluntary work, in particular the Chairmen, being: Kerry Andersen (Country), Jean Gregory (Finance & Governance), Graham Leeks (Bowls Management), Wendy Ireland (Participation), Mike Goble-Garratt (Rules), Des Jones (Greens & Infrastructure), Therese Hastings (Fixtures and Events) and Brian Jeppesen (High Performance & Coaching).
Strategic Direction
Over the past 18 months Bowls Australia has undertaken a full review of its strategic direction, with significant input provided by all stakeholders in the sport. The President, Deputy President and myself have been members of various committees that has seen the formulation of a Bowls in Australia plan, designed to guide the direction of the sport for the medium term. The timing of this has proven very beneficial to Bowls WA, with our own strategic plan expiring this year. At Bowls Australia’s (BA) request we will now seek to where possible dovetail our future direction with that of BA, ensuring a national approach to areas of strategic importance. Bowls WA will appoint an independent, external provider to assist in the facilitation of this process. One such area that has already commenced by the time this report is published is the commencement of the long overdue Whole of Sport IT Program (WOS IT). The IMG Sports Technology Group has been appointed to introduce and manage a national approach to information technology, which will include a national database, significantly upgraded competition management system, improved website systems and many on-line features previously unavailable. The system will commence on 1st July and in time revolutionize the way the Association, clubs and individual members interact.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - CEO
Board and Staff
The board under the leadership of Patrick Buller has provided myself and staff with tremendous support of the period and my personal thanks is extended to them. To my staff, the work they undertake often goes un-noticed by the membership, however their commitment and attention to detail is unquestioned and the smooth operation of the Association is testament to that. My thanks to them for the good humour and support they offer me on a daily basis.

I also offer my thanks to the support of Bowls Australia CEO, Neil Dalrymple and Executive and HR Manager, Meghan Albert in particular, who have forged an excellent working relationship with President Patrick and myself. Their approach to on occasion’s contentious issues was welcomed and appreciated, with the betterment of the game always at the forefront of their thinking.
Challenges ahead
There remains much to be done. The 2012 National Census Report states that “social bowls is now established as by far, the largest participation segment in bowls. Pennant and other competition participation declined by 18% and 13%, respectively, in the past year.” This is of course a significant challenge for the Association and the financial viability of clubs. Those who do not embrace the social phenomenon that has in some cases engulfed bowls in recent times will clearly struggle to survive. Gone are the days when members alone can financially sustain a bowling club. Indeed BWA must also take this into account as we seek to host pennant competitions and higher, that remain relevant to the change in demographics within our clubs. The Census tells us that nationally only 24% of those who have played the game in some form over the past 12 months, plays pennant bowls – this and the impact it will have on the game into the future is but one of the many challenges that lay before us.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - CDO Bowls Australia Community Development Officer Since moving to Perth and commencing this role around Christmas time, I have been fortunate to meet some fantastic people in the bowls fraternity. I have seen and learnt about many different clubs throughout metropolitan and country areas. The role is specifically created to be a support mechanism for clubs to tap into and receive assistance with promoting bowls and/or operating a club. I am fortunate to be able to spend each day out on the road visiting clubs and any other stakeholders that play a key part in making our great game successful. All clubs have been contacted via email and I have found the response rate to be incredibly low. I urge clubs to take advantage of this new initiative as there is absolutely nothing to lose and a whole heap to gain. I am very eager to help your club grow and prosper. I am confident in saying some great work is being done with the large number of clubs I have been working with. Over the coming months I will continue to assist clubs to/in: • Tap into relevant funding opportunities and prepare grant submissions when applicable. • Develop strategies to increase membership and awareness. • Governance and business/strategic planning. • Increase the quantity and quality of coaches and officials. • Introduce important stakeholders that can also provide assistance through different avenues. • Guest speak at certain club functions. • Introduce new and exciting programs at club level that are aimed at introducing new participants to the game such as juniors, disabled and other minority groups. I have a great team at Bowls Australia and Bowls WA to work with and I believe the future of bowls is looking very strong. I look forward to working with you all over the next 12 months.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - NTC Bowls Australia National Training Centre As the coach of the National Training Centre in Western Australia and representative of the Bowls Australia High Performance Team, I have had great pleasure in working with Western Australia’s current and future Australian Representatives during the 2012-13 season. Western Australia currently has four players in the Australia A Squad and three players in the Under 18 Australian Squad. Clive Adams, Kristina Krstic, Rechelle Cole and Kelli Rogalski were selected in the Australia A Squad after outstanding performances at the National Sides Championship as well as the Australian Open. David Downey, Tanisha Johnson and Elizabeth Allan were chosen at Western Australia’s victorious Under 18 National Championships campaign. The highlight for Western Australia this year was the inclusion of Clive Adams in the Australian Development Team and David Downey in the Australian Under 18 Team to take on New Zealand in the Trans Tasman Series. Both players acquitted themselves extremely well and Western Australia hopes that further representation at Australian level is not far away. As well as our Australian Squad representatives, Western Australia also has a number of players who have been identified to be part of the Western Australian National Training Squad. This squad includes players who have been identified as potential Australian Squad Members. The existing NTC Squad Members of Daniel Patterson, Lisa Featherby and Cody Packer were added to by the Australian Selection Panel and myself at this years Australian Open. New members to the squad are David Rankin, Matthew Mitchell, Lewis Grigg and Matthew Ayres. Players in all three squads are working hard on developing their skills with drills and regular one on one player coach sessions. With regular reporting on their progress to the Australian Coach and Selectors, all players are now given the chance to put themselves forward for future selection. The commitment to success by the players has been tremendous and points to a great future for them and Western Australia.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - BOWLS MANAGEMENT Bowls Management Committee At the last AGM clubs approved a major change to the Bowls WA committee structure which empowered the new BMC as the committee responsible for the management of the metropolitan competition and with the overarching responsibility for the game of bowls in WA. The new BMC which has a committee of 16 comprised a representative of the four operational committees- Rules, High Performance and Coaching, Greens and Infrastructure, and Fixtures and Events with this committee having both a male and a female representative. In addition there are 8 elected members from metropolitan clubs, four of each gender, together with the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson of the Country Committee with these being of different gender. One of the principal responsibilities of the BMC is a review of Field of Play rules each year and as necessary make decisions to change and in this regard a number of rule changes were implemented last season. It is apparent that there are further changes that need to be considered and this will be undertaken by the BMC during the off season, so that any changes recommended can be implemented for the start of the new season. The BMC also is charged with the responsibility of hearing any appeals made by Clubs or Club members against decisions made by any of the operational committees. It became apparent during the season that the appeal process required some fine tuning with regard to the timeliness of hearing appeals and a new process was implemented. In addition it would seem that there is also some concern with penalties imposed and whilst this could not be fixed during the season due to reasons of inequity, this is to be considered by the BMC during the off season. My thanks to all the BMC members and also those involved in the operational committees. They all have made a tireless and major contribution to bowls in WA during the last 12 months and I look forward to their continuing support in the forthcoming season.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - INCLUSIVE PRACTICES Inclusive Practices Bowls WA entered into partnership with the Australian Sports Commission Sport CONNECT Inclusive Practices Initiative in October of 2010, having identified that including people with disabilities in the sport at all levels is a key priority area and as such, is identified in the Bowls WA Strategic Initiatives 2011-2014. The benefits that the sport of bowls offers the community are enormous - bowling clubs throughout Western Australia are social hubs that build and strengthen communities. Through bowls, club members are able to maintain their physical and mental health, build strong social networks, and experience a sense of opportunity and achievement. In the past year, the following Inclusion projects have been successfully carried out: • Participation at the 2013 AU Open for Athletes with a Disability expanded with WA bowlers participating in the Deaf Male, Blind Male, Wheelchair Male, Intellectual Male and Intellectual Female Categories. We have the opportunity to send as many as eight bowlers from WA and this year we sent five, a fantastic achievement. Andrew Ness from WA Blind Bowlers Association and Cambridge Bowling Club won Silver for the 2nd year running! • Recruited two intellectual category bowler for 2013 AU Open in the male and female categories. This took our bowlers through the classification process from University of WA and AUSRAPID, a time consuming and sometimes hard situation to handle. • The BWA BowlAbility Program at Kardinya Bowling Club continues to run on Fridays. This program has a regular attendance of between 20 and 30 participants and is still a strong program since its inception in 2011. Special thanks to club member Eric Payne who helps run the program. • A five month BowlAbility program was run at Innaloo Bowling Club where consistent participation occurred. • A three month program jointly run between BWA and Reclink at the North Perth Bowling Club proved to be exceptionally popular with a weekly participation rate of 13 to 25 bowlers. Through this program quite a few members have joined clubs in their local areas – great to see! Other Reclink programs, primarily with Ruah Inreach, have been run at Lake Monger and continue to run bi-weekly on Friday afternoons at Fremantle Bowling Club. • Signed Associate Membership between BWA and WA Blind Bowling Association (WABBA). • An Indigenous Bowling Group spear-headed by George Hayden at Forrestfield Bowling Club participated in Sunday Scroungers over two months in preparation for the Corporate Bowling Season. We look forward to expanding participation in this area. • BWA and the Peel Bowling & Social Club are forging new relationships. Peel is the only Disability focused club in WA and are soon moving to share greens with Halls Head Bowling Club. Peel regularly runs events with local disability organizations, aged care homes, and other groups. • The Centre for Cerebral Palsy (TCCP) and BWA have run multiple Open Days during this financial year at Lake Monger Bowling Club culminating in an event for Social Inclusion Week. • A disability team attended the Senses Foundation fundraiser for deaf and blind children at Mosman Park Bowling Club – one bowler with an intellectual disability and another bowler in a wheelchair rounded out the group.
Thank you to the Department of Sport and Recreation and Bowls Australia for their ongoing support for Inclusion in Sport.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - COUNTRY Country The new Bowls WA Committee structure which has seen the Country Committee reduced to eight members is working well. As a Standing Committee of Bowls WA, the profile of country bowls is enhanced, and regional areas are well represented at both Bowls Management and Board levels. With the Board conducting a meeting in a regional town each year, the opportunities are further extended for country/ metropolitan liaison. This year country bowlers have received welcome sponsorship from Crown, Clubs WA, Henselite, and DSR ( Country Scholarship Program for Juniors).
Country Coaching Enhancement
Once again, the Country Coaching Enhancement weekends held in September, were well attended and plans are well in hand for the next series in September. Thanks to the Melville and Doubleview clubs who hosted these events in 2012.
Country Week
Both men’s and women’s Country Week’s saw large numbers of country players flock to the city and take to the metropolitan greens for this wonderful week of fun, fellowship and great bowls. The commemorative caps, presented to the All Stars players for the first time, were well received. Although the country teams were not successful against the metropolitan teams in the Challenge matches, competition was keen. Congratulations to the winners of the Country Week titles, and to the Corrigin and Geraldton Bowling Clubs who received the Country Club awards. Thanks to the metropolitan clubs who hosted Country Week events. Your hospitality is much appreciated.
Interzone Round Robin
Successful Inter Zone Round Robin events were held at Margaret River (Men) and Corrigin (Ladies) and the Inter Zone Pairs (Ladies) was held at the Eaton Bowling Club.

Country Awards
Our outstanding country bowlers were acknowledged at the Bowls WA Awards evening at Crown on May 31. Noelene Abe (Corrigin) capped off a stellar season, taking home the Connie Hicks Brooch for Bowler of the Year, the President’s Brooch for the State Singles winner, and the Penny Needham Brooch for Best Country Bowler. Brad King (Geraldton) was awarded the men’s Country Bowler of the Year. The Corrigin Bowling Club was awarded Country Club of the Year, and the Gingin Bowling Club, the Best Small Country Club of the Year. Congratulations to those players who represented Western Australia - in Champion of Champion events, the National Championships, and the National Over 60s Series. We are proud of the strong presence of our country bowlers in these elite events.
Planning Forum
The annual Country Planning Forum was held in May when the Country Committee and invited Zone delegates gathered to discuss current issues and to plan for the ensuing twelve months. The Bowls Australia CDO, Daniel Woodrow, gave a presentation on his role in regional areas, and BWA CEO Ken Pride addressed the meeting on current affairs in WA, and national events. I would like to thank the Country Committee, especially John Lewis, Deputy Director, and the country clubs, who have supported me during the past twelve months. It has been a pleasure to represent country bowlers, and along with the Country Committee we are ready to face the challenges ahead. Sincere thanks to Ken Pride and the Board for their continuing support and friendship, and to the office staff who are always willing to assist.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - HIGH PERFORMANCE High Performance Report 2012 saw the introduction of the Bowls WA Academy, kindly sponsored by Aero Bowls World and the Department of Sport and Recreation, which provides players with an important step in the High Performance pathway. Coaches and Selectors are keen to work with bowlers who they believe have the potential to represent Western Australia within the next three years. In order to develop our talented athletes, it was imperative that we also develop talented coaches, officials and selectors. Bowls WA was extremely proud to see Tony Hockey, Brian Jeppesen, Wayne Coyle, Therese Hastings, Peter Bowden and Jaewyn Norton all complete Bowls Australia’s Advanced Coach accreditation. In October, we were given the first clear indication that adopting High Performance principles and a plan aligned with the strategic intent of Bowls WA was progressing in the right direction when our Under 18 representatives managed a clean sweep of the boys’, girls’ and Robert Middleton Overall Champions trophy at the National Championships in Tasmania. Under the guidance and tutelage of Colin Johnson and Jaewyn Norton, the boys won two gold medals; David Downey’s superb effort in both the blue-ribbon singles event and as skip of the successful triples side earning him an Australian Under 18 cap. As impressive was the depth in female talent, with the girls medaling in all four disciplines. Elizabeth Allan and Tanisha Johnson were rewarded with selection in the Under 18 Australian squad while Rechelle Cole was elevated to the nation’s second tier high performance group, the Australia A squad. Not to be outdone by the exuberance of youth, Clive Adams made his international debut in 2013 when he was granted one of two eligible over-25 spots in the Australia A team that took on New Zealand in the annual Trans Tasman test series in Auckland. According to National Coach Steve Glasson, Adams “immensely enjoyed and embraced the opportunity to represent his country and helped in securing Australia’s overall success”. With three Australia A squad members Cole, Krstic and Rogalski playing alongside the experience of Abe, Gobbart, Hastings and Poletti who were all part of the side that held aloft the Marj Morris trophy in 2010, the Women’s State team were confident they could better last year’s third placing. Unfortunately the women never fully recovered from their slow start and finished a disappointing sixth. Shenayde Heldt impressed the national selectors and was a deserving winner of the Beryl Godfrey medal. It was a case of “what ifs” and “what could have been” for the men who suffered narrow aggregate losses to SA, NSW and Victoria despite winning two of three rinks. Our men played some outstanding bowls but too often failed to convert on the last end. Eddy-Wishart Medal winner David Rankin was full of praise for his rink of McIlroy, Knott and skipped by Provost. I would like to thank all members of the Bowls WA Board and staff for their commitment to our High Performance program, as well as the hard-working committee comprising Patrick Buller (ch), Beryl Brennan, Wayne Coyle, Roma Dunn, Tony Hockey, Brian Jeppesen, Jaewyn Norton and Lindsay Thorn for volunteering countless hours to help prepare our teams and provide them with the best opportunity for success. A special mention to Pieter Harris and his NTC program that continues to deliver outstanding results, including DSR’s Country Athlete Scholarship recipient Matthew Ayres’ thrilling run at the Australian Open.

As has already been acknowledged in the President’s Report the sport of Bowls in Western Australia continues to fight the battle against declining membership. Total membership of BWA fell by 2.15% which is in line with modern trends since the late 80’s of 2.4%. More alarming is the National Bowls Census Report 2012 which indicates a decline of 18% for Pennant players and 13.5% for other competition players. Decreases in formal membership of bowls clubs have however been offset by growth in social, corporate and other participation by non-members, a function of Australia’s time-poor population seeking ‘compact’ or ‘packaged’ forms of recreation. Social bowls is now established as the largest participation segment in bowls (and by far). With these trends evident the Committee has spent much time discussing how to utilise this social aspect and is committed to find ways to “bridge the gap” between the social bowler and the full member in order to continue the viability of the game at all levels. Further research and planning is being undertaken with developments in this area expected to be presented to the Board in the very near future.
Online Presence
The arrival of the Whole of Sport IT program will bring a range of benefits to new and existing members which along with increased utilization of Social Media fit in nicely with an ever increasing presence online for Bowls. Individual visitors to the Bowls WA Website peaked at over 17,000 in March 2013 and this number is expected to grow into the future with significant advertising revenue a possibility which in turn can be used to further promote the game.
Junior Development
Continued work is being done in conjunction with CDO Daniel Woodrow on a School Program for Bowls across the State. Although much work has been achieved in the Peel Region and some northern suburbs clubs this remains a rather untapped area and could be a potential breeding ground for the next generation of players. This Committee is committed to further progress in the above areas and as always welcomes ideas or thoughts from those who are passionate about growing the game.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - RULES Rules This year sees the current Umpires list standing at 881 umpires and 132 measurers accredited to 2014 and beyond. A further 459 are out of accreditation this year. The Bowls WA Rules Committee conducts two courses annually within the metropolitan region. Through the dedication of those Umpires who work in the capacity of Umpires Coordinators within the country, at least one course is usually conducted per geographic area represented by the 21 Leagues who are the controlling bodies for some 140 country clubs. This past year resulted in 243 new and re-accrediting, having attended these various courses. While these numbers would seem to auger well for our sport, and they do in most quarters, there are still some concerns with the number of clubs that have only 2 or less such accredited officials among their members. This has potentially serious implications for way our game is played and managed at all levels. The Laws of our sport have largely stabilised since the adoption of the World Bowls ‘Crystal Mark’ editions of the Laws and their concomitant Domestic Regulations as revised in 2010, and this is reflected in the complete reduction of the number of amendments required since the last review. With the ongoing commitment to continual improvement of clarity in interpretation, the five yearly review of the Laws is currently under way for consideration in Glasgow in conjunction with the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Submissions are received from all State and Territory Authorities representing 53 Member National Authorities in 49 Member Nations in membership of World Bowls, which is the recognised International Federation for the Sport of Bowls. Your Rules Committee has sought and received suggestions from all clubs in the State for input into this process, which together with submissions from other States, may result in easier interpretation of some of the more complex Laws which we are sometimes called upon to apply to arrive at the most appropriate outcome from our decisions. Once again, thank you to the members of the Rules Committee, League Umpires Representatives and all those who have seen fit to contribute some of their valuable time to this very important aspect of our game, without which the sport could potentially suffer.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - GREENS & INFRASTRUCTURE Greens & Infrastructure The annual greens inspections for the past 2012/13 season were commenced two weeks earlier than in past years. This had the advantage of giving green keepers who had greens that did not pass inspection sufficient time to bring their greens to an acceptable standard for re-inspection before the commencement of the Pennant season. This action together with good green keeping resulted in only two protests being entered over the season. The Committee would like to congratulate those professional and volunteer green keepers who have done such a good job. Being now responsible for Infrastructure the Committee paid attention to matters affecting Occupational Health and Safety. In some instances Clubs were required to take remedial action to rectify areas of concern. This will be ongoing in future inspections. The need for thermometers to be correctly housed and placed in an appropriate area around the greens will continue to be enforced. Synthetic greens of six years and older are now showing a lot of wear and in some cases total breakdown. The Clubs affected have been assisted in effecting basic repairs which renders their respective greens suitable for Pennants and other competition. It is anticipated that this trend will continue in the future and Clubs are urged to nurture their synthetics to achieve the best possible playing life. Importantly I would like to thank the members of the Greens Committee for their diligence to the task and their support throughout the season. Thank you to the BowlsWA Board and staff for their total support, especially Pieter Harris.
Good bowling to all.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FIXTURES & EVENTS Fixtures & Events This Fixtures and Events Committee has seen the amalgamation of mens and womens Match Committees with an intention, among others, of ensuring common procedures and general conditions for both genders in pennant and state events. The Committee members have worked tirelessly throughout the season working on fixtures and field of play rules as well as all the work required to maintain the pennant fixtures plus Bowls WA and Bowls Australia events throughout the long season. I congratulate and thank Brian Burton and Di Anderton and all the Fixtures and Events Committee members for the time and effort they put into running events for WA bowlers. The commitment of these volunteers is often overlooked by club members who don’t see the complexities involved in trying to fixture events to suit the many and varied circumstances of bowlers. I would also like to thank Pieter Harris as the Bowls WA staff member who works with the Fixtures and Events Committee and does a tremendous job in coordinating all areas of the complex Bowls WA calender. Edna Milne and Lyn Colmer, who retired from the Committee during the season, deserve thanks and acknowledgement for their contributions to overseeing events. Di Anderton, who has retired from this Committee, having volunteered over many years, will be hard to replace because of her knowledge of managing events and her tireless efforts on behalf of WA bowlers. The Fixtures and Events Committee works all year to ensure Bowls WA Pennants, State events, Over 60s events, Under 18 events and Bowls Australia qualifying events are conducted and managed effectively and efficiently. Every attempt is made to make competitive bowls appealing and accessible to as many bowlers as possible but ultimately decisions regarding fixturing need to be made and it is not always possible to suit all individual circumstances. Once again thanks to the Committee for their ongoing commitment to making our game better.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCE Finance and Governance The Association has finished the 2012/2013 year with a pleasing surplus of $28,795 after depreciation of $25,567. This is a good result considering that interest rates have dropped and the market has been quite changeable. Our thanks go to our sponsors who once again support the Association with backup for the programs Bowls WA put into place to make our state competitive in this great game. We have accrued $50,000 for expenses re APL which we had expected to pay out this year. The Board has transferred $200,000 to an investment portfolio as of December 2012 and up to date this has earned $9,470, this is carefully monitored on a monthly basis. As I am not standing for re-election to the Board I would like to thank all the people who have made the last seven years a great experience. Our accounts reflect the sound management of our CEO Ken Pride and the Finance committee and I thank them for their assistance. A special thanks to Liz Rolt the Accounts Officer and to our Auditor Jeff Edwick.

BOWLS WA REPORTS - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL, 2013 NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements are a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the requirements of the Associations Incorporations Act (WA). The financial statements have also been prepared on the basis of historical costs and do not take into account changing money values, or, except where stated, current valuations of non-current assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The accounting policies have been consistently applied, unless otherwise stated. The Board has determined that the Association is a non-reporting entity. The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Association in preparation of the financial statements: a)
Property, plant and equipment Freehold land and buildings are brought to account at cost or at valuation determined by the Board. The depreciable amounts of all fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. For the purposes of depreciation of fixed assets, the Association has elected to adopt depreciation rates set by the Commissioner of Taxation.
b)
Employee Benefits Provision is made in respect of the Association's liability for annual leave and long service leave at balance date. Long service leave is accrued in respect of all employees and provided for in the accounts in respect of all employees with more than four years service with the Association. Contributions are made by the Association to employee superannuation funds and are charged as expenses when incurred. The Association has no legal obligation to provide benefits to employees on retirement.
c)
Capitation Fees Income Capitation fees amounted to $635,493. $1 per member of country capitation fees collected from the four zones, amounting to $8,175, was refunded to them to assist with the cost of administering country leagues. In addition, $3,876 was refunded to the seven far northern clubs, being 50% of capitation fees received. 2013 $
