PRESIDENT’S REPORT

by PETER JEFFERIES Firstly I’d like to once again thank all GCC members, playing and non-playing, for their hard work, dedication and commitment during the past season. With several retirements and players moving on over the past few seasons, many onlookers had predicted a very challenging season on the field. To therefore finish second in the Club Championship, three teams making finals and within a whisker of a 1st XI Grand Final appearance is a credit to the coaches, playing group and all the support staff. To add to the team success, it has been a pleasure to watch the T20 and ODI domination of our own Aaron Finch, and just as gratifying, Jake Reed’s First Class debut and subsequent contract with Cricket Victoria.

I once again commend Damian Shanahan and his coaching staff on their professionalism, knowledge and exceptional coaching skills. The entire Cricket Department, including Kent Hannam, Luke Muller, Simon Anderson and Grant Lindsay, as well as the support staff such in Tom Butterworth and Glenn Ward, are to be admired for their ongoing commitment to providing the best possible cricket environment for our players.

A special mention to Glenn Ward, who this time last year, was awarded Life Membership after many years of involvement at the club in various roles.

Congratulations and thankyou Glen.

David Barnes has once again provided the backbone of the club’s day to day off-field operations and his thoroughness and efficiency ensures the club is at the forefront of Premier Cricket administration.

Thank you also to our Committee members and the various roles they have undertaken this past season to ensure we have the best facilities, hospitality and administration in the competition. A special mention to Philip Marshall who has appeared in this Annual report for the past 21 seasons as a committee member. Phil’s contribution to Geelong cricket, and our club in particular, across multiple decades is widely recognised throughout the region and although he is stepping down from a formal role on the committee he will still be around in various supporting roles. Thanks Phil.

I would also like to acknowledge our scorers, team managers and bus drivers whose work is certainly valued by all. Steff Shaw has been a wonderful asset to the club in recent years and has had a significant influence on our advancements in this digital age.

David Missen reached the amazing milestone of scoring his 300th match during the season and his long service to the club hasn’t gone unnoticed.

We welcomed back Allan ‘Butch’ Dendle to the scorer’s chair at Kardinia Park West and his skills and experience were appreciated by all the players and administration.

Rounding it all out was the evergreen David Kelly who drove the bus to Melbourne each week and scored. All of these tasks are often un-heralded yet form an integral part of the weekly routine and we are fortunate to have such wonderful ‘foot soldiers’ at our club.

The other significant unsung heroes at our club are the amazing kitchen and bar staff who volunteer several hours each week to provide first class hospitality for our members and guests. Karen Butterworth and her regular team of helpers ensure visiting clubs leave our rooms full of envy at the weekly spread and our own players forever grateful for what is provided. Thanks also to John and Vern for their weekly ritual behind the bar, as well as regular volunteers such as Graeme O’Meara who fills whatever role needs attending to.

Another special mention to Kay Lindsay, who like Phil, has also been involved with the club since 1993. For anyone to volunteer 21 years of their summer weekends providing lunches and afternoon teas is an incredible feat and one which the club will be forever grateful.

Over many years, our club has been fortunate to have the support of many wonderful people. We appreciate everything they contribute towards the GCC and I encourage all members and families to reciprocate by supporting as many of the businesses as possible.

In fact, more than ever, in Geelong’s economic climate is it important to support our local shops and services. This past season has been extremely challenging for many of our sponsors and the fact that they have maintained their loyalty to the club is one which we must repay. Support those who support us.

In recent weeks the club has made the final loan repayment for the electronic scoreboard and are in a debt free position moving forward. This significant project would not have been possible without the wonderful support and donations from our club community and sponsors. It would also not have been possible without the drive and determination of David Kelly. In fact for the past 16 years David has poured his heart and soul into the GCC to help create a club that is the envy of the competition. However, David has decided to step down from the committee after 13 years as President and three as Vice President, not to mention the many years as GCA and Grovedale CC President prior to his time driving through the Kardinia Park gates.

To summarise David’s achievements in this report would not do them justice as they are wide and varied. From the incredible facilities that our players enjoy, to the standing the club has within the community, David has left his mark. His dogged determination and

genuine passion for the club has made it impossible to turn him down when asked for sponsorship, a donation or just to buy a raffle ticket. From all the GCC community we thank David for everything he has contributed to this great club and look forward to seeing him relaxing in the stands and watching the next young Geelong cricketer on their path to the ‘Baggy Green’.

Thanks Kel.

COACH’S REPORT

by Damian SHANAHAN This season again saw massive change in personal at Geelong Cricket Club with arrange of players looking for fresh adventures either at GCA level or other premier clubs.

This certainly created new opportunities to our young playing group and also saw the return of some players back into our club most notable the return of Matthew Harrison as club 1st XI captain.

The coaching panel also had change with Kent Hannam assistant coach/chairman of selectors, Luke Muller ass/coach, Grant Lindsay bowling coach, Ian Holten specialist coach and Simon Anderson development ass/coach all coming on board in new roles.

The season for the club was a very positive one indeed with the Firsts, Seconds and Thirds all finishing in the finals and our young Fourths side just missing out on a finals berth. The club finishing in 2nd position on the club championship table was an outstanding result considering how young our list is and our position on this ladder after the first seven rounds of the season.

There certainly was some outstanding individual achievements over the course of the season none better than that of (club champion) Jake Reed who had fantastic season 50 First XI wickets along with making his debut for Victoria in first class cricket (three games) and then being awarded a full Victorian Bushrangers contract.

Hayden Butterworth was rewarded with early season form with various Victorian future league opportunities and performed very well with another big pre-season. I have no doubt Hayden has the game to go another level.

James Crosthwaite also had a fantastic season in the end after a slow start he certainly showed the his ability to the full in our Semi Final lost to Footscray-Edgewater with one of the most outstanding finals innings anyone will see. James, with 811 runs (two tons) and along with his fantastic wicket keeping proved how important it is in modern day cricket to have a another all-rounder in your side. With a strong start to next season I am sure James will also pushing hard to earn the right to play at the next level.

We had seven new capped First XI players this season with two of these players Eaamon Vines and Khalid Sawas proving to have very important seasons for the club.

Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

Page 5

Eaamon in his first season for the club to have scored two centuries and one of those in a quarter final against Melbourne is outstanding and something Eaamon can build on in years to come at the club.

Khalid, who played as overseas player this year, was very consistent throughout the year and help our top order to many good starts to set us up for some big totals or push us in strong positions in games to chase maximum points etc.

Bowling wise of course we had Jake lead the attack but he was assisted so well by Justin McPhee (31 wickets) the old pro of the attack Marc Carson and spin wise Luke Muller.

Matthew Harrison’s leadership of the team was certainly outstanding and along with this his ability to sure up our middle order on many occasions throughout the season he proved so helpful to the group. His innings in round one against Dandenong set the platform for the group to fight and scrap its way through certain situations throughout the course of the season and his experience and awareness on the ground proved so important to the team.

Overall I would count the season as a success. Yes we had a grand final birth well within our grasp that is for sure, but there was so many things learned by the entire group that should set up the club so well in the future.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tom/Karen Butterworth (Training services manager/ 1st XI manager/ Head of Kitchen ) for the all the work you do for the club and the players throughout the year you certainly are both true champions of the club.

To Steff Shaw (1st XI scorer) thank you so much also for your work you do with the First XI you certainly are a massive part of the team.

To all the coaches, captains and team manager’s thank you for all the time and effort you put into our club it certainly is a long journey over the season but you have contributed to a successful season at GCC. Thank you also to Peter Jefferies (president) David Barnes (admin) and committee on all the work you have put in once again over the past 12 months you have all contributed in so many ways.

Lastly, we should all be looking forward to season 2014/15, I have no doubt with our group of men we should be pushing very hard for premierships in all grades of cricket.

MATCH COMMITTEE REPORT

by Kent HANNAM It is my great pleasure to present the Match Committee report for Geelong Cricket Club and season 2013/14.

Whilst the season will by some remembered by the scenes immediately following the Semi Final loss to the Footscray/Edgewater Cricket Club, it will be the strong team statistics, individual performances, strong representative team representation, finals qualifications and an outstanding JA Sietz Club Championship standing that to me represents and is reflective of the pre and in season work undertaken by the Head Coach, Club Captain, lower XI Captains, players, assistant & specialist coaching staff as well as the hard working committee, staff & volunteers at the Geelong Cricket Club.

Across all XI’s & game formats, a winning percentage for the season of 59.21% along with five outright victories in the two day format also lend weight to a most consistent season for the club across all XI’s.

At 1st XI level, seven players were capped, 99 Matthew Gunther, 100 Khalid Sawas, 101 Eamonn Vines, 102 Chris Williams, 103 James Westhorpe, 104 Alex Cairns and 105 Luke Ford to add to a now growing and established list of 1st XI cricketers who have been capped as 1st XI players at Geelong Cricket Club, in this its 20th season of District/Premier Cricket.

At 2nd, 3rd, & 4th XI level the achievement of seven centuries & 14 five or more wicket performances augers well for the future on the field.

Performances & achievements across the season at 1st XI level included; First XI Centuries • HWJ Butterworth (112 & 121) • JL Crosthwaite (146 & 118 SF) • EM Vines (122 & 101 QF) • AJ Finch (111 & 100) 5 or more wickets in an Inning • JK Reed (5/54, 6/37, 7/39, 6/32) 10 or more wickets in a Match • JK Reed (10/70) Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

Page 7

500 more runs in a Season • JL Crosthwaite (811) • HWJ Butterworth (653) • K Sawas (580) 30 or more wickets in a Season • JK Reed (50) • JJ McPhee (31) The Geelong Cricket Club was again proud to be represented on the International & National stage, with a particular highlight for the club seeing Jake Reed becoming the 839th player to represent Victoria in four day 1st Class Cricket along with the continued representation of the club by Aaron Finch in our national colours in the Australian One Day and Twenty/20 sides.

Australian One Day Cricket Team • AJ Finch Australian Twenty/20 Cricket Team • AJ Finch Sheffield Shield • AJ Finch • JK Reed KFC Big Bash League • AJ Finch (Renegades) • JK Reed (Renegades) • DR Shanahan (Renegades Coaching Staff) Cricket Australia Toyota Futures League • JK Reed • HWJ Butterworth On-field leadership is a critical component in cricket and the club was fortunate to have Matthew Harrison at the helm of the 1st XI for season 2013/14.

As a captain, Matthew has an awareness of the game that is unmatched in Premier Cricket and when coupled with fine skill as a batsman, exceptional leadership & personal skills as well as an obviously love for the game; it is that combination that makes him such an asset to the Geelong Cricket Club.

Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

Page 8

In our lower XI’s, we were also fortunate to have outstanding leadership and I would like to place on the record my thanks on behalf of the match committee to Adam DiGiacomo, Andrew Hodgson, Luke Ibbs, Dom McGlinchey, Jack Clapham, Simon Anderson, Josh Collins & Ian Holten for their efforts & leadership across the course of the season.

Damian Shanahan continued to enhance his reputation as one of the competition leading coaches by taking charge of the Premier Cricket XI in a series against the KFC Victorian Big Bash franchise sides as well as being reappointed Assistant Coach of the Renegades KFC Big Bash League franchise.

In his seventh season as Head Coach of the Geelong Cricket Club, Damian again proved that his work ethic, drive & want for success across all XI’s, not to mention his technical skill as a Cricket Australia High Performance level 3 coach, that the club is indeed fortunate and deserving of a coach & demonstrated natural leader such as Damian.

The support that the Geelong Cricket Club players enjoy is unmatched in Premier Cricket.

From the conditions on match day at our outstanding Kardinia Park & Kardinia Park West ovals, a practice facility that continues to be the envy of all opposition players who visit our club to the practice, match day staff & volunteers who continued to work over & above the call of duty to provide the players with every advantage possible.

To Tom Butterworth, without doubt the best in the business, when it comes to player support, Glenn Ward, Steph Shaw, David Missen & David Kelly, the players want for nothing on a practice night & match day and I would like to extended my thanks on behalf of the playing group & match committee for their support across season 2013/14.

Thanks also to President Peter Jefferies & his hard working committee for their support of the match committee across the course of the entire pre and playing season as well as David Barnes, who provided enormous support and guidance to me as Chairman of the Match Committee, in the vital areas of governance and compliance to the myriad of player & match day rules across Premier Cricket.

The heart and sole of any club, particularly cricket, is the players and the outstanding performances, both individually and as a squad, are as result of their hard work, a want to improve their skill across all three disciplines of the game as well as understanding and demonstrated ability of fair play that has seen the Geelong Cricket Club again find itself at the top end of Premier Cricket.

Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

To the members of the match committee, the aforementioned Damian Shanahan and Matthew Harrison along with Luke Muller, Simon Anderson & Luke Ibbs, your contribution to our process as well as your ability to make strong, decisive & informed decisions made my job as Chairman of the Match Committee one that I hold very dearly to me as well as particularly enjoyable.

With men of the calibre of Damian Shanahan, Matthew Harrison & Luke Muller leading the playing group on and off the playing field, the Geelong Cricket Club will continue to assume it rightful place on the top rung of cricket clubs in Australia.

FIRST XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT

by Matthew HARRISON This season saw some very good performance from the 1st eleven. Having started back in August and given the opportunity to lead this side and club was somewhat of a rewarding experience. With most of our experience with in the playing group moving on saw the growth and development of new leaders in the 1sts.

Our season very much had a focus on two day cricket and that certainly showed in our two day cricket performances. Early season form belonged to Hayden Butterworth with the bat which saw two magnificent centuries which certainly put our team in positions to win one day cricket. Through the period of white ball cricket saw some debutants in Matthew Gunther, Chris Williams, James Westhorpe and Eamonn Vines showed some hard work and performances in preseason earn their position in the team. Having had opportunities to be in a better position on the ladder had us sitting mid table and after a disappointing t20 campaign we were happy to get stuck in with the red ball knowing that our game was built around this.

Our red ball cricket was outstanding with the ball our attack led by Jake Reed and Justin McPhee with Marc Carson and Luke Muller the old stalwarts had a good balance in being able to take 10 wickets consistently and also being able to take 20 wickets which really set our season up. With the bat we found a nice opening combination in James Crosthwaite and Khalid Sawas our English recruit that brought stability and flare to their partnership, backed up with Eamonn Vines who register his maiden century in a match winning innings with James against Casey-South Melbourne. Through this period allowed for more debutants in Luke Ford, Alex Cairns and Jack Shepard which all had performances in the 2nd eleven to have their opportunity in the 1st eleven.

Finishing the home and away season in third position saw us host Melbourne cricket club.

Internally with in the coaching group we were quietly confident in performing deep into the finals campaign and have the opportunity for some silver wear. The first final would see us bat first and put on one of our better batting displays all season.

Contributions from Crosthwaite, Butterworth and a matured and composed century to Vines put the team in a winning position for our bowlers to do what they had done consistently all year and take 10 wickets which we were very confident in doing. This would see us move onto the semi-final against Footscray away. Unfortunately the semi-final did not go to plan and saw us fall short in the run chase. A brilliant century from Crosthwaite gave us every opportunity to chase down Footscray target.

Page 12

On some individual performances throughout the season I would like to congratulate again Jake Reed on a well deserved selection for Victoria in four day cricket. Also I would like to congratulate Hayden Butterworth on his regular showings for the futures team.

To Tom Butterworth and Steff Shaw for their contributions and influences around the team was greatly appreciated by all the players in the 1st eleven.

I would like to thank Peter and committee for all their contributions of field in allowing the players to enjoy the facilities provided. To the volunteers and the ladies in the kitchen all your efforts are greatly appreciated by all the playing group.

To the coaching group in Luke Muller, Kent Hannam, Simon Anderson, Grant Lindsay and Ian Holten all your efforts in getting the playing group up for each Saturday and your development and influence on each player throughout the season.

To all the players for their hunger and energy to become a better squad saw some much earned performances post Christmas.

In finishing I would like to thank Damien Shanahan for all his work throughout the year in setting up and coaching our squad in becoming better cricketers defiantly showed and is greatly appreciated by each individual.

Personally I would like to thank you for your support and trusting me by appointing me captain is one I hold of great honour. Your knowledge on leadership and calming influence I believe has helped me throughout the season and I know that our partnership will only become stronger in getting a taste of silver wear in the future.

SECOND XI CAPTAIN’S REPORT

by Adam Di GIACOMO The 2013/14 season for the Geelong Cricket Club provided opportunity for many of our players, not least of all in the Second XI. After a disappointing end to 2012/13 with both the First and Second XI's not making finals, it was our chance to rebuild and reignite the passion at the club. I think at the start of the year all players, coaches, volunteers and members were optimistic of the prospects for the year.

The Second XI had a slow start to the season to say the least, and with no wins from the first seven games something had to change. Luke Ibbs returning from his UK trip added experience and a new leader to the group. With Luke taking over from myself as captain, he added fresh ideas and a new spin on what we were trying to achieve. He led the team strongly with the bat scoring two fantastic 100's, and also with his tactics on the field.

As the team headed to Christmas some momentum had begun to build and a new belief in the group was evident. In the last round of the home and away season facing the need to beat Melbourne University outright to make it in to the finals, the side grouped together for one last push. I don't know if it was just the thought of being our last opportunity or Michael Condy's inspiring words as we went back out to try and take the ten wickets needed, but the side got the job done. The Second XI did not win any 50 over One-Day matches throughout the season and that makes it even more remarkable that this group were able to force their way into the Two-Day finals.

The team performed admirably in the Qualifying Final against the top placed Carlton Cricket Club but unfortunately came up 36 runs short of the target. It was a fitting end to the season for a group who fought their way through the whole season, to not give up and roll over in that final match and make the Carlton players work for the win.

I would like to congratulate all of the debutants this season; Jono Casey, Nick Dixon, Cody Irvine, Dale Kerr, Gargandeep Singh, Dylan Flannigan. To two players who leaped the Second XI to make their First XI debuts before making their Second XI debuts in Chris Williams and Matthew Gunther, who brought the experience gained back to this group.

To Luke Ford who made his deserved First XI debut this year; Luke is one of many players who have worked hard to gain an opportunity and I hope he enjoys his success at the top level for a long time to come. James Westhorpe also gained experience at First XI level, and I look forward to seeing his development in the coming seasons. Finally to Alex Cairns for a very successful return to the Club.

I would also like to congratulate the Second XI Award winners. Josh McDonald winning the Batting Award for the second year in a row, showing a growing maturity late in the season.

Jack Sheppard for also winning his second Bowling Award in a row and for grabbing the opportunity to play in a First XI pushing for more success.

Matthew Gunther receiving the Captains Award for his growth in to a top level player, epitomised by his maiden Second XI century against Melbourne University.

Finally the thank you section. Thank you to Damian and his coaching group. You have all done a sensational job this year and it shows with the second placing in the Club Championship, let's go one better next year.

Thank you to Glenn Ward for everything you do, not just for the Second XI but the whole Club. Thanks Tom Butterworth who is a deserving winner of the Best Clubman Award.

Thank you David Missen you do a great job every year and entertain us at the same time.

Thank you Peter Jefferies and the committee for their ongoing work and support. Thank you to all of the volunteers (there are too many of you to name), we appreciate everything that you do. Thank you to all of the sponsors - without you we wouldn't have a club to play for.

Finally, thank you to triple premiership player Andrew Hodgson for your last 5 years of service. I wish you luck for the future, and if you wish to give it another shot you will always be welcome to return.

Let's all keep building and make season 2014/15 more successful than the last.

FOURTH XI CAPTAINS’ REPORT

by Simon ANDERSON With 33 players playing in the Fourth XI it was a true indication of the hard fought struggle we come up against each week. Losing the first 5 games was a tough start to the season and really hit the boys hard, we couldn't get consistency in our game plans and lack of confidence really put us on the back foot.

We had a conversation before the Casey/South Melbourne game to really just get back to basics and enjoy being round each other, cracking jokes and laughing and getting up & about with every milestone our teammate achieved. Sam Plummer's 103 was a standout and really turned his season. From there we went 6 wins out of 7 games with an outright vs Greenvale.

Mal Abley after the Frankston game hit the nail on the head when he came into the room and was that excited with everyone's efforts and said "that is the greatest win he has seen" With injuries and Grammar boys being unavailable it hit our lack of list pretty hard and we were outrighted vs Haw/Mon & reversed outright vs Melbourne Uni chasing the last spot in finals in the last round. It was a tough blow to what was some real exciting cricket played for a couple of months leading up towards finals.

Standouts for the year were to see Josh Collins & Sam Plummer both dominate with the bat with some great knocks, Hayden & Dylan McMahon really enjoy there cricket and both bring some enjoyment into the team with Hayden getting a 100 and Dylan get some bags of wickets. For commitment and continued determination Dylan Moroney & Shane Van Den Nouwland both proved they will be great GCC players as they get older.

On behalf of the 4ths players and especially highlight the efforts made by David Kelly whose quick witted lines and stories really made all the bus trips up and down the highway a great deal of fun, & to Butch for his amazing scoring book who even Josh & Aaron Collins were impressed. Also to those guys who prepare our grounds on match days, Glenn Ward, David Barnes, Craig Whitehand, Graham O’Meara and Alan Randall, all you guys make playing at Geelong Cricket Club worthwhile, to have our home ground rated as the best in the Premier Cricket is something that not only contributes to our success but forms part of the future stars of Geelong Cricket and wanting to play at this 'Great Club'.

Tom Butterworth, su·per·star [soo-per-stahr] Show IPA noun 1. a person, as a performer or athlete, who enjoys wide recognition, is esteemed for exceptional talent, and is eagerly sought after for his or her services.

Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

Page 17

The way you interact with every player and get to know who they are and the efforts you go to make them feel welcome and comfortable is extraordinary. Everyone I speak to or when your name comes up really does see you as a superstar and the club is a better place with you apart of its history.

Individually I would like to thank Kent Hannam, Luke Muller, Grant Lindsay, Ian Holten & Ian Redpath for your support in coaching and mentoring some of Geelong Crickets future stars. These young men coming through the ranks are both exciting to watch and listen too both on and off the ground and I know from listening to them that they are all grateful for your time and knowledge.

I would like to personally like to congratulate all players for there efforts this season and the energy, commitment shown to the coaching staff and pride in wearing the GCC logo. At times every player has a moment were they they fall down and hit the ground hard, but as we all know it's how quickly we can pick up our team mate and drag him along with us.

Team work and willing each other to go that extra effort can be the difference between winning and losing, but also a test of character and the envy of our opponent.

On a personal note I would like to thank Damian Shanahan. I would like to acknowledge the contribution he has made to the GCC, 8 years as a senior coach of a Premier team is nothing short of true indication of the man’s cricket playing/coaching ability and worth. Being able to grow this club into something of a Juggernaut over the years is the reason for his achievements both with players, club and personal employment. The presence he attracts from all is something that some people could only imagine they could have and the amount of work he does away from peering eyes is nothing short of astonishing.

I'm grateful for being in his presence and the guidance he has shown me in my own coaching career. There is no script or structure in how you coach or mentor personal issues but I can only speak from my own experience that he just knows how to make things right and feel that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks boss I know you won't give up until you get that one thing you have been striving for and I just hope that you get what you deserve after all your hard work.

Moving forward into the future of Development cricket at Geelong Club, it would be great to see the club take the approach of being a lot better at connecting with ALL clubs in the Geelong area (GCA & BPCA) as they are our backyard for talent.

Come try days ran by the club or greater emphasis on 'Geelong's next star' being found not just through Bakker squads, as we all know that there are some serious cricketers out there that develop late as like the mature age rookie in the AFL. No stone should be left unturned and as like the old days when we all used to wait for Don Royce to put pen to paper and write you a letter asking you to come and be involved in a session at Geelong Cricket Club and the postman delivering it to your letterbox.

Geelong Cricket Club Annual Report 2013/14

Page 18

Yes, we will always have players turning up on our door step, but what are we doing to get the ones that need that little extra shove to come along and try. Maybe it's a Development committee ran by a Development Co-Ordinator with the emphasis on recruiting mature age talent under the age of 25. I might mean the Development squad makes the self available if not selected to go back to their home club but that needs to be communicated through the Head Coach of each club.

We all want that Australian Baggy Green but no-one more than the Geelong Cricket Club so let's make that happen.

10.0 General Business The President overviewed the following matters; 10.1 Twenty Year History Peter briefly spoke of the club’s celebration year and made particular mention of the support shown to the club over the years by Philip Marshall, Kay Lindsay and Andre Borovec.

10.2 Three Year Strategy Plan • Womens Cricket.

The need to formalize the GCC position on Women’s Cricket in alignment with CV’s strategies.

At this stage there is no plan to try and have a GCC Premier Women’s affiliation but to support the existing Geelong Women’s recreational team by fostering junior pathways and potential use of our facilities.

• Pathway Programmes Both of our pathway groups are successful. The Bakker Squad consisted of 65 players with some players moving through to the GCC sides. To note is that Jason Bakker is adding further sponsorship support to the group this coming season.

The KFC Finch Squad has completed its first season with 15 members.

The set up of both these squads are being closely examined by other Premier Clubs for potential duplication.

The club has been successful in receiving a $4000 Junior Development Grant from CV to support these programmes.

• Geelong Sports Foundation Via grants from this foundation the GCC has purchased a second “drop in wicket” for use on Simonds Stadium or for lease to other users.

• T20 Bid The GCC maintains its support for this initiative.

• Risk Management and Welfare Plan Peter has commissioned the development of a plan which will be presented to the next GCC full committee meeting.

• Office Extensions The proposed office and scorers box extension has been held up by CoGG approvals. The intent is to have the development completed by round 1.

In closing the meeting Peter Jefferies thanked everyone for their interest and attendance.

The meeting closed 8.45pm
