A BRIEF HISTORYThe Victorian Football League Umpires’ Association (VFLUA) was instituted on the 24th May 1909.

It appears that the association was born out of necessity. The umpires who officiated at VFL matches from 1897 to 1909 operated in isolation – they trained individually and there was no regular organised opportunity for them to meet and discuss umpiring matters, share experiences or socialise. They had no collective voice and issues of concern had to be taken up by individuals. The formation of the association gave umpires a collective voice and a support network.

In its early days, the association dealt with issues of concern mostly related to conditions of employment such as remuneration, police protection at matches and travel conditions. With the passage of time the role of the association expanded to include looking after the welfare of its members and making contributions to the wider community through its support for charities and other organisations that provided valuable services. It offered a social outlet, which created the strong bond of camaraderie and mateship that has been the strength of the association throughout its 100-year history. It has played an important role in umpiring development and has initiated programs that have been beneficial to umpires and umpiring organisations at grassroots levels.

The evolution of the association is an ongoing process and, in recent years, has seen the major aspects of its role being workplace relations and advocacy, umpire welfare, the maintenance of the history, heritage and traditions of umpiring and of the Association, events, partnering and supporting community services and administering a member benefits program.

MISSION The mission of the AFL Umpires Association (AFLUA) is to:

• Promote and advance the institutions of umpiring and the game.

• Encourage and foster the highest standards of officiating and citizenship amongst AFL umpires on and off the field.

• Represent AFL umpires and provide members with a consistently high standard of professional services.

VALUES STATEMENT “The Executive and members of the AFL Umpires’ Association are committed to fostering their core value of integrity”.

We consider integrity to be the embodiment of our philosophical understanding of the nature and conduct of the function of the umpire. Our understanding has us appreciate the on-field application of this notion as well as the off-field implications for the umpire as an ambassador of the AFLUA, umpiring and the game.

Underpinning this core value of integrity are the supporting values of fairness, respect and trust.

The association and its members believe in, and practise, the notion of “a fair go for all” and relationships that are based on mutual respect, understanding and trust.

AFLUA BRAND The AFLUA Brand represents the values of ethical, responsible and accountable conduct, and the desire, the capability, and the strength and courage of one’s convictions, to “make the right decision”.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE The AFLUA is governed by an Executive Committee consisting of a President and three representatives, one from each category of umpiring - field, boundary and goal. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for the management of the Association. He is supported by in-house staff as well as outsourced services such as finance, IT and website. A State Representative Group facilitates effective communication with members nationally. Sub-committees are formed as required to deal with special projects and undertakings.

PRESIDENT’SREPORT

It has been a whirlwind 2016 and one of which l have been proud

to be a part. The association has moved into a more professional

arena focused on servicing the needs of our members.

The major achievements of our hard working Executive

Committee this year include the opening of our new office in

Docklands, the significant planning and groundwork for our CBA

presentation to the AFL, the introduction of a secure Facebook

page for improved communication with our current running

members whilst continuing to deliver a range of services to

members and life members.

The AFLUA has been working with the AFL in the planning and

delivery of a resilience workshop for all our members, which will

be rolled out across Australia in early 2017.

I would like to thank, Leigh Fisher, Drew Kowalski, Adam Wojcik

and Ian Burrows, who was seconded to assist in the second half of

the season, for their valued contribution during the year.

Of course our association would not function without the hard

work behind the scenes from our long time administration

assistant, Julia Gauci, who looks after the day to day functions

of the office. Jane Wenn continues to provide very good social

functions for our members. This year’s grand final cocktail party

was sensational. Jane also conducts our partner functions. Her

work is greatly appreciated by all our members.

Our newly appointed Marketing and Communications Coordinator

Peter Kelly, who in his short time with us has delivered new

partnerships and consolidated our long time partners. The

communication with our life and associate members has never

been better. Our CEO, Peter Howe continues to deliver for our

members. Our 100% membership is in no small way due to the

association delivering what our membership wants.

The association’s good work in the community continues to

improve our profile. The national roll out of the Fiona McBurney

Match Day Experience for sufferers of Down Syndrome was a

great partnership between Apricot Consulting, the AFL and the

AFLUA to provide an experience for 20 young people and their

families by giving them a day they will never forget. We cannot

forget our long-term commitment to the Jeff Crouch Foundation

that continues to support the Royal Children’s Hospital. This year

we also supported the Chamberlain Foundation in its activities to

fund Life Line counsellors.

It was a privilege to be part of the past president’s function in May

and to rub shoulders with the people who worked tirelessly for our

association over many decades. Our association was built on their

hard work.

Season 2017 promises to be a watershed year as we move

towards the business end of our negotiations with the AFL.

We need to remain a united force.

On a personal note can I thank my wife Lynise for her support in

my first year as President. I would also like to thank all of you for

your support and l look forward to working with you again in 2017.

CEO’SREPORT

Executive Committee

Newly elected president Troy Pannell headed a new executive and

welcomed two new representatives Drew Kowalski (boundary) and

Adam Wojcik (goal) to the team. Leigh Fisher (field) returned for his

second year on the Executive Committee. The committee’s main

focus for the year has been working with the CBA Sub-committee in

preparing the AFLUA’s submission for the next CBA. Thank you for

your contribution this year.

I would also like to thank Chris Kamolins, Ian Burrows and Luke

Walker for the work they did during their time on the Executive.

Under Chris’s leadership a number of new initiatives were

implemented to ensure the association is well equipped to meet

future challenges in a continually changing environment. I would

also like to thank Ian for stepping in and assisting Drew this year

when the need arose.

State representatives

As our membership base is spread across Australia, we rely on

having effective communication channels to ensure our members

feel engaged and part of the association. To this end, l would like

to thank Dean Margetts (WA), Steve Axon (SA), Michael Saunders

(NSW) and Shaun Apted (Qld) for their work and continued support

of their state colleagues.

Subcommittees

The Executive Committee would like to thank those members of

our sub-committees for the valuable support they provide to the

association.

The CBA Sub-committee consisting of Troy Pannell, Shaun Ryan,

Tim Lougoon and Chris Appleton coordinated the consultative

processes with our membership base to ensure that our submission

to the AFL was reflective of the needs of our members from across

Australia. They have also attended numerous meetings with the

On behalf of your Executive Committee l have great pleasure in tabling the 2016 Year Book (Annual Report) for your consideration.

The AFLUA continued to build upon the successes of previous administrations with several major initiatives including new offices in Docklands, the completion of the internal office review with the appointment of a marketing and communications coordinator and significant work being completed in preparing for our next Collective Employment Agreement (CBA).

I would like to thank all our members for their support and contribution to making 2016 a very successful year. Not only did we attain 100% membership but we had significant involvement and input from all members in developing our submission for negotiating our next CBA with the AFL.

Umpiring lost a group of outstanding leaders with the retirements at the end of the 2016 season of David Dixon (all time games record holder as a goal umpire), Darren Wilson (all time games record holder as a boundary umpire), John Morris (fourth all time boundary umpire) and Jonathan Creasey (ninth all time boundary umpire). Add Gerard Large with over 200 games and our most senior goal umpire in Western Australia, Dale Edwick, and you can immediately see the impact these departures will have on the culture of our umpiring groups. However, there are many emerging leaders amongst our umpires who are ready to step in and continue to move us forward.

AFL, often sacrificing their own work commitments to ensure that

we have a good outcome from our negotiations with the AFL.

In the wake of the 2015 AFLUA Hall of Fame inductions the Hall of

Fame Sub-committee met and decided that while the hall has been

a great success the current sub-committee was the original one and

that the time was right to review all aspects of the Hall of Fame. This

work will be undertaken in 2017 with a view to having any changes in

place for the 2020 induction cycle. We extend our thanks to Graeme

Patterson OAM, Bill Deller OAM, David Flegg, Bill Sutton and Allan

Cook for their continued involvement with Hall of Fame activities.

Administration

The administrative arm of the association benefitted from

the appointment of our new Marketing and Communications

Coordinator, Peter Kelly. Peter brought with him a wealth of

corporate experience that continues to enhance what we do and the

services we offer.

Julia Gauci now entering her sixth year in the role of administration

assistant is still the first point of contact for all our callers. She

continues to work the back end of our website to ensure it is up to

date and relevant. She is an invaluable asset in the office to provide

the continuity required by our members.

Led by Lisa and Michael Wilson our accountants, Wilson Business

Services, now manage all our accounting processes. As a result

our financials now have the clarity and follow up required of a

professional organisation.

Jane Wenn, our events coordinator, continued to arrange our

women’s functions as well as our Grand Final Cocktail Party and

Awards function. Her ability to “hit the mark” ensured all our events

are conducted seamlessly and with positive feedback.

Jared Dyson looked after our IT. His experience and tireless energy

when we moved office in October was exemplary. He ensured we

maintained our connections to the outside world. Simon Meredith

continued to work on the mechanics of our website and supporting

our email services.

Membership

Our membership got in behind the association this year and fully

supported our direction. All listed umpires joined the association in

2016.

Associate membershipNine umpires joined the association in 2016 as associates. They were, Tristan Burgess, Gary Fila, Colin Fisk, Michael Jennings, Matthew Laycock, Nick Liparota, Matthew McKenzie, Luke Roberts and Cameron Ward.

Life MembershipSeven members were granted life membership in 2016 - Jason Armstrong, Ian Burrows, Nathan Doig, Dale Edwick, Michael Hammond, Adam Peacock and Troy Pannell. We congratulate our life members on attaining 10 years of service to the AFLUA.

Life members who have passed awayWe sadly record the passing of our esteemed life members Kenneth Quinn, Jim Brewer, David Drane, Daniel Parsons, Walter Andrew, Greg Sidebottom, Michael Noone and Ken Innes.

Workplace Relations and Advocacy

Our working relationship with the AFL continued to develop and grow. I would like to thank Mark Evans, Football Operations Manager for his support and advocacy for umpiring.

Umpire Manager, Wayne Campbell resigned from the AFL to take up a position with AFL club GWS early in the season. I would like to thank him for his support and willingness to take the AFLUA

into his confidence to solve issues. To Luke Ball who filled in following Wayne’s departure, l would also like to thank him for his understanding and empathy in managing issues during his time as umpire manager.

To the AFL coaches, Hayden Kennedy and his team of, Bryan Sheehan, Michael Jennings, Gary Fila, newly appointed AFLQ State Umpiring Mark Turner, State Umpiring and Elite Programs Manager ACT/NSW Damian Anderson we say thank you for supporting our umpires. To Jason Armstrong and Geoff Twitt who played new roles as match-day coaches thank you. To goal umpire coach, Steve Stirling and his assistant, Rod Davies and to boundary umpire coach, Simon Leigh and his assistant, Scott Hutton thank you for all your time and effort as part-time coaches who go out of your way to support our umpires.

I would also like to acknowledge the time and effort put into umpiring in SA and WA by Shane Harris and Darryl Sinclair, the two state managers who not only have responsibilities for all their respective state league umpires but play an active match day role with us, as coaches. Sincere thanks for all your encouragement and support of our umpires.

To the AFLUD staff, Thomas McCoy, Sophie Timms and Briana Harvey we say thank you for all your tireless work behind the scenes.

To our medical and training staff across the country who keep our umpires on the track and ready for game day, we thank you also.

Four field umpire system

With our support, the AFL trialled the four-field umpire system in three rounds of AFL football in-season during the “bye” rounds. As part of this process some of our umpires doubled up and umpired two games over a weekend. While the results were not overwhelmingly better in terms of the free kick error rate, our umpires were certainly much fresher for the experience. However, those umpires who did double up across a weekend certainly left tired.

Awards Congratulations to our grand final umpires, our award winners and those who achieved personal milestones during the season. I would also like to acknowledge the contributions made by those who finished their umpiring careers in 2016. I wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

EJ Whitten LegendsThe EJ Whitten Legends game underwent a total revamp in 2016 when it was taken over by the AFL and channel 7. The AFL sought our assistance to provide the game with suitable umpires. Our four field umpires were Stephen McBurney, Scott McLaren, Martin Ellis and first timer, Brett Allen. Glenn Sinclair had to pull out of the selected team for the third year in a row. Allan Cook again came to the rescue and took the field with Paul Meisen, Malcolm Owen

10

and Sam Leslie who was back for the first time in some years. Phil Watson and Doug Gourlay shared the goal duties with AFL pathway goal umpire, David Rodan. Peter Cameron continued in his role as coach mentor and extended his presence with the EJ Whitten game to 21 years. AFLUA life member Doug Bartlett joined the team as the official trainer for the night responsible for looking after all those ageing legs. Thank you to everyone for your involvement and contributing to the night.

X-umpires support programsRon Bailey continued to manage his group of X men, whose list is growing by the day. Ron made regular contact with over 100 ex-umpires and hosted luncheons at both Mornington and Darebin. Ted Johnson continued to assist Ron with those duties and worked out of our office twice a month to contact ex umpires and just have a chat. Dates for our 2017 luncheons are posted in the AFLUA Newsletter.

Fiona McBurney Match Day ExperienceWhile we have a celebration of our FM MDE later in this report it would be remiss of me not to sincerely thank our partners, members and colleagues without whose support the program would not exist:

• The team in the AFLUD led by Thomas McCoy and Sophie Timms who ensured our chaperones were accredited and our participants were dressed in AFL uniforms

• Derek Linsell, Adrian Panozzo, Ranj Samrai and Pete Lockyer from Apricot Consulting who initiated contact with Down Syndrome Associations around Australia to select the participants and provided the logistical information to our participants

• Julia Gauci from the AFLUA who sent the information each week to our participating families and chaperones

• Our State Umpiring Managers Shane Harris (SA), Darryl Sinclair (WA), Damian Anderson (NSW/ACT) and Mark Turner (QLD) who rolled up their sleeves and certainly made the interstate venues work seamlessly

• The chaperones, who looked after our participant’s families, Fiona Sinclair (WA), Sandra Harris (SA), Steven Wallbank (NSW), Michael Roache and Grant Kent (Qld) Stephen McBurney, Damien Woods, George Lawlor and Julia Gauci (Vic)

• All the trainers across Australia who minded our participants and gave them meaningful work on game day

• All the umpires who went out of their way to make the family and participant feel welcomed and for giving up their seat tickets when the program required them

• Chris Donlon, without whose passion and drive to see this program flourish we would not have achieved half of what we set out to do.

You all made a very special group of people across Australia very happy.

History Heritage TraditionsDavid Flegg and Lloyd Fisk continued to research and maintain the historical and current records of the association and its umpires.

Work on the AFLUA biography project covering the period 1950-2016 recommenced with the restoration of access to the current electoral roll. The whereabouts of a number of umpires in this period have now been determined and will be followed up.

More work consolidating the pre-1950 data collected by Lloyd Fisk needs to be done and will be undertaken in 2017. Similarly more and more resources are becoming available that allow identification of non-senior umpires from the pre-1950 era. Such resources were particularly useful for work commencing to enhance our lists of VFL Second Eighteen (later VFL Reserve Grade) and Victorian Football Association (VFA) umpires. Of particular note was the discovery of the original VFA umpires’ appointment book kindly lent to us by VFA historian John Ficcarra. These lists will be a focus for 2017.

The week-to-week compilation and reporting of current statistics and milestones continued during 2016 as did the good working relationship between the AFL Umpiring Department and the AFL statisticians.

Kindred Associations A sincere thank you to all our state league associations who supported our locally based AFL listed umpires and our administration when we travelled. We have forged strong links with AFLQUA, NSWAFUA, SANFLUA, the TFUA, VFUA, AFL Canberra UA and WANFLUA. One of the critical roles we each play is to represent the interests of all our members who play a vital role in football. We look forward to working with all your executives again in 2017.

Financial PerformanceThe association continued to provide solid support to its members and the financial reports showed that it also continued to remain on a solid financial footing.

In summary:• Operating Surplus was $46,363• Cash reserves decreased slightly from $762,282 to $761,943• Total equity increased from $738,223 to $784,586.

Conclusion In closing, l would like to take this opportunity of congratulating Shane Harris on his honorary life membership of the South Australian National Football League last year. It was an amazing achievement for a former Victorian to be recognized in such a way. Congratulations Shane.

Thank you again for your support during the year and we look forward to serving you again in 2017!

Communication and Engagement with members

As part of its engagement strategy, the AFLUA continued to enhance the communication channels with its members and life members. The AFLUA published 5 newsletters during the year which included feature articles on umpires, milestones and event summaries.

The AFLUA completed visits to Adelaide, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane to strengthen communication and engagement with our interstate members and umpires appointed to the AFL in 2016.

The AFLUA launched a members’ only Facebook page with the aim of improving communication with and between current running umpires, whilst also ensuring better engagement with our interstate umpires. The page has been used to post milestones, market events and alert members to any specials from the member benefits page.

The website was also updated regularly during the year with articles/videos on milestones and new umpires, a weekly summary of action both on and off the field, and events and programs.

Members’ Benefit programMembers of the AFLUA continued to enjoy discounted products and services as part of our members’ program. Winner Sports Nutrition joined the program in 2016.

Giving Back programThe AFLUA continued its community investment through the Jeff Crouch Foundation and the Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience program. The AFLUA also hosted a table at the inaugural ‘The Brothers Lunch’ in support of the Chamberlain Foundation (more information on page 12 of this report).

Functions held during the year

The AFLUA hosted the following functions during the year

David Dixon – a dinner to celebrate David becoming the record holder for the most VFL/AFL games as a goal umpire.

Darren Wilson – a retirement dinner at Adelaide Oval to celebrate Darren’s retirement after 404 AFL games including 48 finals and 12 grand finals.

AFLUA Queensland Luncheon for current AFL umpires, life members, ex-members and guests in Brisbane.

Past-Presidents’ Luncheon – a lunch for past presidents and secretaries of the VFLUA and AFLUA. The function is sponsored each year by Ian Clayton (President 1988) in honour of his father Harry Clayton who was president of the VFLUA in 1949.

The AFLUA thanks Ian for his ongoing support in hosting this function.

State Dinners – the AFLUA hosted dinners in each state to meet new and returning umpires, present any outstanding awards, brief umpires on current happenings and seek input into the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Partners’ Functions – a number of functions were held during the year for umpires’ partners in recognition of the important role partners play in supporting our umpires on the field.

Grand Final Function – a night to celebrate the achievement of our grand final umpires and to announce the All-Australian umpires for 2016.

Special thanks to Jane Wenn and Julia Gauci for their efforts with the organisation and management of our events program. A job well done!

GIVINGBACK

The AFLUA has a proud history of community investment through the Jeff Crouch Foundation and the more recent Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience program.

The association also supported fund raising activities and mental health awareness through the Chamberlain Foundation by hosting a table and encouraging donations from members and life members of the association.

Jeff Crouch foundation The Jeff Crouch Foundation was established in 1995 to perpetuate his memory. Jeff, who passed away in 1994, was a Past President, Life Member, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, an inaugural member of the AFLUA Hall of Fame and a 5-time Grand Final Umpire.

Jeff was the Appeal Director for the Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal for 15 years during which time millions of dollars were raised for this most-worthy cause.

This year, AFLUA executive member Adam Wojcik and his family, presented the Royal Children’s Hospital with a cheque for $6,000 on behalf of the association.

Fiona McBurney Match Day ExperienceThe AFLUA again joined forces with the AFL, Apricot Consulting, Down Syndrome Victoria and the Fiona McBurney family to reintroduce a match day experience for individuals with Down syndrome. This year, the program was rolled out across Australia with matches in Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales/ACT.

In season 2016 across 23 AFL matches, 23 individuals with Down syndrome were appointed as Umpires’ Trainer Assistant as part of the Fiona McBurney Match Day Experience, named in honour of the late sister of former umpire Steve McBurney who had Down Syndrome.

The experience highlights the abilities of individuals with Down syndrome and aims to raise awareness of the value social inclusion

within the broader community has on the development and lifestyle of individuals with Down syndrome.

We look forward to the continuation and expansion of the program in 2017. Many thanks to Chris Donlon for his tireless efforts and passion for the program, Thomas McCoy (AFLUD) for ticketing, uniform and logistics and Adrian Panozzo and Derek Linsell from Apricot Consulting for their support and contribution.

The Association hosted a table at the inaugural ‘The Brothers Lunch’ in March in support of the Chamberlain Foundation. The Foundation is the result of the Chamberlain brothers (Ray, Peter and Brian) desire to ‘make a difference’ and help fund much needed work in the area of mental health amongst young people.

The launch featured two guest speakers - Tyson Murray who recently returned from active duty in Afghanistan and gave a heart moving account of his experiences in active duty and his personal journey in dealing with post traumatic stress. He was followed by former Australian Test cricketer Damien Fleming who provided some interesting and funny insights from his days of wearing the baggy green cap for Australia.

The Launch was an outstanding success and helped raise much needed funds for Lifeline. Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians experiencing a personal crisis with access to 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.

END OF AN ERA DAVID DIXON

This year marks the end of an era with the retirement of David ‘Dicko’ Dixon

From the outset, no words or numbers could ever capture Dicko’s achievements or the sheer determination and dedication that helped forge his record-breaking career.

Born and raised in Sunshine, David played junior football until 1987 but it was a chance letter from the Footscray District League that presented a “sliding doors moment” that would forever change his life.

Dicko was always a gifted and hard-working athlete, so he naturally accepted the invitation to become a field and boundary umpire with the WRFL. He was ultimately appointed to the 1993 A-Grade Senior Grand Final as a boundary umpire before turning his attention to goal umpiring the following year.

David didn’t waste any time and immediately impressed local coach and AFL goal umpire Rod Davies; so much so, he was invited to trial with the VFL in 1995 and within two short years he was umpiring the VFL grand final.

After promotion to the AFL list he umpired his first AFL match in 1998 (Heritage Number 279) and over the following 19 seasons developed an extraordinary career spanning 356 premiership matches and going on to break David Flegg’s incredible record of 337 games in Round 3 this year.

Dicko also currently holds the all-time record of 34 AFL finals, including 6 memorable grand finals and what will now be the last-ever grand final draw and replay - 2010 between Collingwood and St Kilda.

Not surprisingly, Dicko was a familiar selection for many other high profile appointments, including 4 Collingwood-Essendon ANZAC Day matches, 3 pre-season grand finals, 5 international rules matches and countless other ‘blockbuster’ games.

In total, Dicko’s achievements are enormous, however they were painstakingly put together piece-by-piece, game-by-game through an uncompromising approach to his training, diet and match day preparation.

Dicko would routinely outrun his teammates and record time trial results that defied his age and even some of his field umpiring

counterparts. It was undoubtedly a reflection of David’s desire “to be the best” both within himself and amongst

his peers.

His pre-game ritual was also renowned amongst his fellow umpires. Without fail, Dicko would find

the same chair or a particular spot at each venue and quietly contemplate the game ahead. “I just wanted to be in the greatest headspace I could be - it gave me a high level of comfort” he says.

It was this consistent approach and preparation that meant David rarely put a foot wrong on the field. His long-time colleagues and friends describe him as “determined” and “focused”, while younger umpires

regard him as a “legend” and the “ultimate professional”.

Perhaps Dicko is best summed-up by fellow grand final umpire, Chris Appleton, who says “everything he ever did was about making himself a better umpire; from the moment he woke up, to the moment he went to bed.”

This single-minded commitment however was not without care for his fellow umpires. Dicko was often the first to have a quiet word if he was concerned about the welfare of others. He developed a keen sense for those who may have been feeling out of favour or form and he was always willing to lend his support.

David is quite rightly a life member of both the AFLUA (2007) and the VFUA (2004). He was also recognised as the 2005 and 2009 All Australian Goal Umpire, and a recipient of the Leigh Keen Shield in 2010, reflecting his on-field success and off-field commitment to the association.

Dicko admits the decision to retire did play on his mind, but he can leave the game comfortable it is on the strongest of terms, fighting his way to yet another final series this year and proving his on-field excellence right to the very end.

It is this unwavering commitment and success that will ensure David Dixon remains a prominent name in the record books for many years to come.

END OF AN ERA DARREN WILSON

Another significant departure occurred in 2016 with the retirement of boundary umpire Darren Wilson after 404 AFL matches.

Darren officiated his last game between Adelaide and North Melbourne at his beloved Adelaide Oval on Thursday 23 June 2016. The game had special significance for Darren as it was the same two teams that played in his first grand final back in 1998.

A third-generation boundary umpire, Darren was lured to the vocation through blood and “$110 a game when most of my mates were working at McDonalds and getting $6 an hour.”

Frank McHugh recalls the day that Darren started his career back in 1990, showing up to training on 26 February along with another 23 first-year boundary umpire hopefuls. Darren’s commitment to training stood him apart from the rest so that when matches for premiership points commenced on the weekend of 21-22 April, Darren was appointed to a division one game at Henley Oval.

Progress was swift with Darren being promoted a month later to umpire the SANFL Under 17 West Torrens v North Adelaide game. On 12 May, Darren was elevated to the next level, where he umpired an Under 19 game.

Round 10 saw Darren umpire the first of many matches at Adelaide Oval. His partner for the day was the experienced and well respected, Ashley Dohse. At quarter time, Ashley recalls going up to Darren and pointing to a building at the eastern end of the ground and saying “Listen here kid, see that building? That’s the Royal Adelaide Hospital and if you keep running at that pace, that’s where l’ll finish up tonight.”

Darren finished off the 1990 season by umpiring SANFL Under 17 finals before being appointed to the SAFA Under 18’s Grand Final.

In the summer, Darren joined the McKinnon Parade Athletics stable where he was considered a whippersnapper, and thus his nickname “Whipper” evolved. The 1991 season began with Darren umpiring his first league match, a pre-season Foundation Cup match at Football Park. As the year went by, and the SANFL league matches tallied up, AFL Boundary Umpires Coach Bill Sutton observed him at Adelaide Oval, and was impressed with what he saw. In October,

Darren completed his season umpiring the SANFL Reserves Grade Grand Final.

Darren was appointed to the AFL Boundary Squad in 1992, and recalls his first AFL game at a heaving Football Park when the Crows first hosted Collingwood in round 8, 1992. “I remember field umpire Peter Cameron taking me under his wing and taking me

out for a few warm-up laps to get rid of my nerves. The game ended with the Magpies winning by five points and as you would expect, the crowd wasn’t too happy with us”.

As Darren’s career progressed he witnessed many memorable moments including Tony Modra’s screamer in the goal square against North Melbourne in 1993 and Leo Barry’s famous match-saving mark in the closing stages of the 2005 AFL Grand Final.

When a footballer’s career is judged, plenty of weight is placed on performances in September, and umpires are no different. So when you run the rule over Darren’s contribution to the game, the fact he adjudicated in 12 straight grand finals from 1998 to 2009 leaves him peerless. His

glowing resume includes 404 AFL games, 36 finals, four night grand finals, four state of

origin clashes and an international rules match.

A career fireman, Darren also competes in stair-climbing challenges. In February 2016, in his sixth attempt, Darren won the annual race up the Empire State Building’s stairs, dashing up the 1,576 stairs (86 floors) in 10 minutes and 36 seconds, beating his nearest rival by a whopping 40 seconds.

A farewell dinner was held at the famous Adelaide Oval in June to mark his retirement and celebrate his career and was attended by many of those who have helped shaped Darren’s career plus fellow AFL umpires and guests.

Life after umpiring will mean more time with his family and pursuing other interests. Darren has recently been appointed to as boundary umpire coach for the AFL Women’s Competition and the AFL Under 16 National Championships.

In 2005, the AFLUA Executive approved the concept of an AFLUA Hall of Fame as a way of recognising a members’ loyalty and commitment to, and support for, the association, and the contribution such members have made by way of service and/or on-field achievement.

A sub-committee was appointed to develop the concept and operational guidelines, and define eligibility, the criteria for selection and to select the inaugural inductees.

The AFLUA Hall of Fame was officially launched on Monday 26 May 2008 when 99 inaugural inductees were admitted.

Two ballots were held in 2010 and 2015, during which five inductees were elevated to AFLUA Hall of Fame Legends in 2010 and two more in 2015.

Selection was made through a series of ballots as follows;Ballot 1 covering 1909-1920 was theoretically held in 1925Ballot 2 covering 1921-1930 was theoretically held in 1935Ballot 3 covering 1931-1940 was theoretically held in 1945Ballot 4 covering 1941-1950 was theoretically held in 1955Ballot 5 covering 1951-1960 was theoretically held in 1965Ballot 6 covering 1961-1970 was theoretically held in 1975Ballot 7 covering 1971-1980 was theoretically held in 1985Ballot 8 covering 1981-1990 was theoretically held in 1995Ballot 9 covering 1991-2001 was theoretically held in 2006Ballot 10 covering 2002 - 2005 was held in 2010Ballot 11 covering 2006 - 2010 was held in 2015

Members of the AFLUA Hall of Fame may be considered for elevation to Legend status during the course of a regular ballot.

OBITUARIES

Jim passed away on 7 July 2016 after a long battle

with illness. As an umpire, coach and administrator his

contribution to umpiring was both long and distinguished.

James Bell Brewer was born in Carlton on 17 September 1931. A talented footballer he represented Essendon Stars (Melbourne Boys League), Essendon U19s (VFL), Coburg Reserves (VFA) and Keilor (Essendon District FL) before taking up umpiring.

He was appointed to the VFL Reserve Grade umpiring list in 1955-57 and then promoted to the VFL senior panel in 1958. His talent was immediately recognised as he was appointed to three Reserve Grade matches in that first season but it was 1961 before the appointments became regular and ultimately led to a VFL senior debut in round 6 1962.

That debut in the St.Kilda v. Richmond match made him the 237th field umpire in VFL history. It was followed by three further matches before his performance in round 9 led to a return to the country and it was 18 months until he returned to the seniors. When he did return it led to an unbroken run

from 1964 to mid-1965 and included the 1965 interstate match between South Australia and Tasmania in Devonport. His final VFL matches in 1966 bought his career total to 27 on the back of 54 VFL Reserve Grade matches.

In the VCFL Jim accumulated 160 VCFL matches (16 grand finals) and 11 Tasmanian matches (1 grand final) and despite his senior VFL experiences it was in the country that he had his most memorable match. He noted of the 1967 VCFL Championship match at Warrnambool “It was between the Hampden and Ballarat Leagues and was the best and fastest game I umpired. It had all the best features of our game, it was hard and fast with shades of brilliance on both sides.”

Following his retirement Jim became a life member in 1968 and continued his contribution to umpiring as umpire, coach and administrator. He umpired at the Essendon District Football League in 1970 and became assistant advisor there in 1971. He returned to the VFL as the training supervisor of the VFL umpires at Royal Park in the 1970s and was also a VFL Reserve Grade Umpires Appointment Board member from 1972 until the reserve grade was disbanded a decade later.

Jim Brewer’s life in football in general and umpiring in particular was one to celebrate.

Greg Sidebottom died doing one of the many things he

loved – umpiring football. When the news of his death on

the football field from a heart attack was received the reaction was universal. All whose life he had touched, and there were many, recalled his positive outlook, his enthusiasm for whatever he was involved in or simply his infectious smile. There was a deep mourning for the loss of a good man who had had such a profound impact on so many.

Gregory John Sidebottom was born on 12 April 1954 and grew up in Ferntree Gully. He was heavily involved in both football and cricket playing football for five seasons in the junior grades with Ferntree Gully until he suffered two concussions in the last three matches of 1971.

The following year he donned the white coat for a season of goal umpiring in the Yarra Valley and Mountain Districts Football League to “get the feel of what field umpiring looked like” before taking on the whistle. When he did take up the field he was a natural, progressing to the 1976 First Division Grand Final and from there directly onto the VFL senior list. His first season went well although he did preside over the Tooradin-Longwarry match in which both teams believed they were kicking to the same end and it was difficult to find a player to kick the ball back in after the first score.

After a year off football to focus on his education Greg returned to the VFL in 1979 and worked the usual country circuit until 1982 when he broke into the VFL Reserve Grade and finished that season with four VCFL finals.

On 11 June 1983 Greg became the 298th VFL senior field umpire when he officiated at the St.Kilda-North Melbourne match. He maintained his senior spot for each remaining round of the 1983 season including the round 19 Richmond-Collingwood match that saw Kevin Bartlett play his 400th VFL match in front of 81,000 spectators. He was appointed to that year’s Reserve Grade qualifying final and also umpired his first two VCFL grand finals – Western Tasmanian FL and Latrobe Valley FL.

Over the ensuing four years he compiled a record of 39 VFL, 23 Reserve Grade (2 finals) and 128 VCFL matches (21 finals, 5 grand finals) before retiring following the 1987 Hume Football League Grand Final.

Greg had been active with the VFLUA off the field serving on the social committee from 1984-87 under social secretary Peter Howe. Peter recalled, “Greg wasn’t fazed by anything. He

revelled in the pressure and he always delivered a great social function for the benefit of the members.” He was awarded life membership in 1987.

In 1988, Greg returned to local football as the director of umpiring at the then Eastern Districts Football League where he laid the foundations for one of the strongest umpire groups in Australia. Greg always visited the homes of prospective young umpires allaying the fears of their parents who immediately respected Greg for his willingness to go out of his way to sign up young people to umpire. Many of those young teenagers he signed up became life-long friends.

Moving to the Goulburn Murray region in 1992 Greg immediately immersed himself in both the local and sporting communities. He organised a local “back yard blitz” team from his shire workers to help the less fortunate around the Shepparton area.

He had a passion for developing young umpires and cricketers and his endeavours were recognised with life memberships of Goulburn Valley Umpires Association and Shepparton Youth United Cricket Club.

Always looking for recruits and ideas in just one of many initiatives he involved the local Dhurringile Prison to give inmates the opportunity to take on umpiring which gave them an opportunity for development and assisted with local umpiring numbers.

In addition to his roles in the GVUA as umpire, coach and recruitment officer, Greg remained a valuable contributor to the state competition as a VFL umpires observer, a role in which he delivered positive encouragement as well as coaching assessment. Typically on match day his interest was not always solely focussed on the field umpires as he always wanted to take advice on boundary and goal umpiring back to the Valley and so often quizzed his match day VFL goal and boundary observers on aspects of their umpires’ performances.

The Victorian Football Umpires Association summed up the thoughts of its members when it wrote, “Greg was a wonderful VFL and country umpire who always had a smile on his face and was passionate about umpiring”.

Greg Sidebottom’s legacy will be the generations of umpires that he bought into the game, developed and imbued with a love of umpiring and the game.

Greg passed away on 2 April 2016 at Ardmona Recreation Reserve, an umpire to the end.

Wal Andrew became the 232nd umpire in VFL history

when he took charge of the Essendon v. Richmond match at

Windy Hill in round 13 1960. It was a debut long in the making.

Andrew had begun umpiring with the VFL Second Eighteens some 12 seasons before, in 1948. He remained with the Second Eighteens until his promotion to the senior list in 1955. After 73 VCFL matches he was appointed to a single Reserve Grade match toward the end of 1958 and waited another 12 months before getting a second opportunity.

Born in Melbourne on 12 March 1931, Wal was 29 years of age at his debut and from that point on the experience he had gained paid off. For the remainder of his career he was rarely out of the Reserve Grade or the VFL and if so it was one of the major VCFL competitions or finals.

Seasons 1961 and 1963 were the most successful and included two night series semi-finals and grand finals in the Sunraysia, Western District and Hampden football leagues.

Andrew retired at the end of the 1964 season having accumulated 39 VFL, 43 VFL Reserve Grade, 130 VCFL (5 grand finals) and 5 Tasmanian matches.

Strangely, the VFLUA annual report, perhaps through a transcription error, recorded his first year as 1956 thereby incorrectly denying him 10-year life membership. Later discovery of both the original membership register and the Lindsay Lancaster papers as well as the 1955 list of match appointments confirmed this. However in the meantime Wal had taken advantage of the associate membership now offered and completed his 10 years membership some 40 years after his retirement.

Walter Raymond Andrew passed away on 15 October 2016.

WAL ANDREW

Daniel James Parsons was born in Prahran on 20 October

1927 and grew up in East Malvern.

A cricketer of some talent, tennis player and golfer he did not play football before he began umpiring as a club boundary in the CYMS competition in 1944. He was invited to officiate in the 1944-46 CYMS finals series.

One of three successful applicants (out of 157) he joined the VFL Second Eighteens in 1948 and ran the boundary until 1955. While on the boundary list he umpired a number of Second Eighteen finals and the 1949 VFL Thirds Grand Final.

Transferring to the goals in 1955 he was appointed to both the 1957 Second and 1957 Third Eighteens Grand Final and in 1958 he was promoted to the VFL senior list. Always active in umpires’ association affairs he was elected assistant secretary of the VFL Second Eighteen UA in 1950-51 and 1957 and secretary in 1952.

Debuting as the 137th VFL goal on 19 April 1958 at Princes Park, Dan eventually umpired 166 VFL matches between 1958 and

1968. Dan was appointed to four finals during his career and all but one were thrillers.

The 1964 VFL Preliminary Final was a low scoring affair played in the wet with Geelong missing gettable shots at goal in the last quarter and falling short of Collingwood by four points.

The 1965 Second Semi-final was a one-point thriller and Dan’s last premiership match was the 1968 VFL Grand Final. Only 11 points separated Carlton and Essendon at three-quarter time and in a tense final quarter when every foray forward was crucial, Essendon going to Dan’s end kicked the only two goals of the quarter to close within a point. Geoff Blethyn had a set shot from a tight angle that Rod Tanner on the behind post called out of bounds and Carlton hung on to take the flag.

At the end of his career Parsons had umpired 166 VFL matches in 11 seasons. A VFLUA life member in 1968 his service as assistant secretary between 1966-68 was recognised with a Lifetime Achievement (Special) Award in 1969.

Dan Parsons passed away, aged 88, on 17 December 2015.

Ken Innes ran the boundary in the VFL for a decade in a

period where the grounds were heavy and there was no out of

bounds on the full to bring the ball back towards hard chasing boundary umpires.

Born in Preston on 20 February 1929 Kenneth William Innes grew up in and around Parkdale and played football with Parkdale Amateurs (VAFA) and Cheltenham Football Clubs (Federal FL).

He began umpiring in the VFL Second Eighteen competition in 1949 and following his appointment to the 1951 and the 1952 Second Eighteens Grand Finals, he was promoted to the VFL senior list for the 1953 season.

His first game was in round 1 at Victoria Park where Collingwood played South Melbourne and Bill Twomey kicked 9 goals and the following week he had South again and this

time John Coleman kicked 10. Later in the season he umpired Geelong’s first loss in 27 matches.

Ken’s final VFL match was the only final to which he was appointed and it was a workout. The first half of the 1962 Second Semi-final was played at breakneck pace with only a point the difference at the half. The pace slackened in the second half and poor kicking for goal reduced the long runs for the boundary umpires.

When asked for memorable moments of his time on the boundary he recalled “1951 and 1952 VFL seconds Grand Finals and promotion to senior list. It was also running with great umpires like McMurray, Nash and Barbour.”

Over 10 seasons Ken umpired 145 VFL matches. He was made a life member of the VFLUA in 1963.

Ken Innes passed away on 2 April 2016, aged 87.

KEN INNES

Known universally by his middle name Michael Leo Noone was born in Carlton on

5 February 1926.

During the Second World War he served in both the RAAF (1944-45) and the AIF (1945-47). Upon demobilisation he began umpiring with the YCW Football League in 1949 and was taken onto the VFL Second Eighteen list in 1950 where he umpired for three years until promotion to the VFL senior list in 1953.

Leo was a VFLUA member from 1953 until his retirement in 1962. He became a life member in 1963. Over his 10 senior list seasons he umpired 189 VCFL matches including 18 finals. He umpired 2 Tasmanian finals and 4 Metropolitan League finals. His lone Grand Final was the 1962 Northern District Football League Reserves between Union and Border at Cohuna. It was also his final match with the whistle.

Leo passed away on 21 May 2016 after a brief illness. Leo’s wife Margaret, recalled Leo’s love and passion for umpiring and of football, a passion that he shared with his grandchildren right up until his passing.

Vale Michael Leo Noone.

Though short in stature Ken Quinn was big of character.

Throughout his umpiring career he fought back from form

and injury to compile an excellent career at the top level and contribute to umpiring both with the whistle and as a coach.

Kenneth James Quinn was born 17 April 1945 and began his umpiring with the Northern Districts Football League in 1962 aged 17 having played junior football in the competition. Two years later he moved onto the VFL Reserve Grade and following finals in the Diamond Valley and Lexton leagues and a bench in the VFL U19s, he was promoted to the VFL senior list in 1969.

Within two years he was promoted to the Olympic Park training track and had officiated in the VFL Reserve Grade. At the end of 1970 he was appointed to grand finals in the Barellan FL, Benalla-Tungamah FL and the preliminary final of the Western Border FL. The following year was not so successful and despite a couple of VCFL finals there were no Reserve Grade appointments and Ken was dropped from the Olympic Park track.

Undaunted, he worked harder than ever and in 1973 was rewarded by returning to Olympic Park where he would remain for the rest of his VFL career, one of only a few to make it back to the City.

After 29 VFL Reserve Grade matches Ken became the 269th VFL field umpire when he was appointed to Melbourne versus Fitzroy at the M.C.G. in round 10 1974. His first 14 matches covering 1974-75 were in the one umpire system but in round 1 1976 he partnered with Kevin Smith as one of the first twelve umpires to work in the first games of the new two-umpire system.

Having come back once Ken was forced to do so again after he was injured in a car accident following a match at Princes Park in May 1976. Unable to umpire for the remainder of 1976 it was almost 12 months before he returned to senior ranks but he returned with a vengeance being appointed to the 1977 VFL Reserve Grade Elimination and First-semi Finals. He followed this up in 1978 umpiring both the qualifying and preliminary Finals. His return from injury was recognised with the association’s inaugural Courage Award.

Throughout this period Ken had also been contributing to the umpires’ association. Elected to the Social Committee in 1974 he followed with a year on the Executive Committee before taking on the role of assistant secretary and then two years as VFLUA secretary in 1977-78. As secretary he was involved in the formation of the Victorian Federation of Australian Rules Football Umpires and part of a successful negotiation of increased match fees as well as the day to day administration of the VFLUA. Ken was awarded life membership in 1979.

Ken retired from the field at the end of the 1981 season having compiled an impressive 83 VFL matches. Additionally he officiated in 85 VFL Reserve Grade, 126 VCFL matches including 16 VCFL grand finals in 13 VFL seasons.

Immediately upon retirement fellow retiree Jim Chapman and Ken joined forces as umpires’ advisor and assistant advisor respectively of the VFA umpires. They guided the VFA umpires from 1983-1986.

Ken Quinn passed away while undergoing surgery on 8 July 2016.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The AFLUA would also like to acknowledge the passing of the following former members:

David Drane was born on the 28 March 1948 and was

the only child of Henry and Mary Winifred Drane.

Dave’s working career was quite diverse; he started off working in the SEC Show Rooms as a teenager in the mid 1960s, followed by the marketing department of the SEC Credit Union. He then ventured into his own business for four years at LV Sportswear in Morwell. This coincided with the privatisation of the SEC and evidently saw tough times for Dave. Following this, he spent 13 years employed by the regional sports assembly, known as Gippsport as its inaugural executive officer commencing the role in 1992. His love of umpiring then saw him employed by the VCFL Umpires Department as the umpires’ state-wide general manager. Following this he worked with Keenan and Sons – Stonemason. His last paid employment role was with the Australian Forest Contractors Association as Manager.

One of Dave’s real strengths was his ability to mingle with all kinds and still leave an impression. It didn’t matter if it was the minister for sport and recreation, or the minister for forestry, the local priest, member of parliament, committee members of your local sporting club or a 13 year-old kid running the boundary for his first game. He engaged with all and did it with ease.

Dave was also progressive and years ahead of his time. Adrian Terranova was secretary of the local umpires association for three years in the late 1990s and notes “Dave had me thinking about business plans, strategic plans, continuous quality improvement, just way ahead of his time.”

Overwhelmingly David made it his goal in life to support and improve people, not just on the sporting field but in life in general

It is very rare indeed for a man who has never umpired VFL/AFL football to receive one of the highest accolades the AFLUA can bestow on any individual - honorary life membership. David received this honour in 1985 recognising his 20-year plus commitment to VFL umpires.

David umpired in the LaTrobe Valley, first for the Yallourn and Morwell football clubs and then as part of the LaTrobe Valley Football League Umpires’ Association. David would meet the train on a Friday night if a VFL umpire reported a player the previous week and transport them to the tribunal and then to their accommodation afterwards. On a normal Saturday, he would meet the taxi in Morwell and look after the VFL umpires who were umpiring in Morwell. He would take the umpires for dinner at the Morwell club after their game to wait for the returning taxi. On one occasion, he even drove an umpire back to Melbourne when the taxi forgot to collect him following a Sunday match.

He went so far above and beyond what would ever be expected of a man in his position that the umpires at the time nominated him for honorary life membership for his ongoing service to VFL umpires.

David was responsible for recruiting many young umpires from the Gippsland area into the VFL/AFL. He also agitated for the LaTrobe Valley Umpires’ Association to gain a prestigious entry into the UPD for a short period.

David was President of the LVUA between 1992-1994. He won an LVUA Award for outstanding services 1984. He was awarded life membership of the LVUA in 1987.

David passed away on Sunday 15 May 2016 after a battle with cancer.

The VFL Second Eighteens Umpires’ Association (Reserve Grade from 1960) was formed in 1919 to provide field, boundary and goal umpires to the VFL Second Eighteens, metropolitan and VCFL competitions. It was disbanded in 1983 as part of the re-structuring of VFL umpiring.

Listed below are the known office-bearers from 1957 and the life members of the association. Also listed are the known umpires in the Second Eighteens/Reserve Grade (1919-82) and Under-19s (1962-82) Grand Finals. From 1938 the VFL Senior List provided umpires to the Second Eighteens/Reserve Grade competition.

Research is on-going and any information should be directed to the AFLUA Historian-Statistician.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWSFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2016

1. Accounting PoliciesThe Committee has determined that the Association is not a reporting entity. This special purpose financial report has been prepared for distribution to the members and to satisfy the accountability requirements under the entity’s constitution and the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 (Vic). Australian Football League Umpires’ Association Inc. is an incorporated association under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and domiciled in Australia. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is: Suite 1427, 401 Docklands Drive Docklands Victoria 3008

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012, the recognition and measurement requirements specified by all Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations, and the disclosure requirements of Accounting Standards AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, AASB 107 Cash Flow Statements, AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, AASB 110 Events after Balance Sheet Date, AASB 1048 Interpretation and Application of Standards and AASB 1054 Additional Australian Disclosures.

The presentation and disclosure requirements of other Australian Accounting Standards or Interpretations have not been applied. Standards and interpretations in issue not yet adopted

At the date of authorisation of the financial report, a number of Accounting Standards and Interpretations were in issue but not yet effective.

The Executive Committee have reviewed all standards and interpretations in issue but not yet effective and do not believe that there will be any material impact on the financial report.

Reporting basis and conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs.

For financial reporting purposes, Australian Football League Umpires’ Association Inc. is a not-for-profit entity.

The following material accounting policies, which are consistent with the previous period, unless otherwise stated, have been adopted in the preparation of this financial report.

(a) Plant & Equipment

Each class of plant and equipment is carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis so as to write off the net cost of each asset over its expected useful life in the association to its residual value.

At each reporting date, the Executive Committee reviews a number of factors affecting plant and equipment, including their carrying values, to determine if these assets, grouped into cash-generating units, may be impaired. If an impairment indicator exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s ‘fair value less costs to sell’ and ‘value in use’, is compared to the carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed in the income statement as an impairment expense.

As the future economic benefits of the Association’s assets are not primarily dependent on their ability to generate net cash inflows, and if deprived of the asset, the Association would replace the asset’s remaining future economic benefits, ‘value in use’ is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of the asset, rather than by discounted future cash flows.

Depreciated replacement cost is defined as the current replacement cost of an asset less where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset. The current replacement cost of an asset is its cost measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the future economic benefits of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of business.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2016

NOTES

80

1. Accounting Policies (cont’d)

The depreciation rates used for each class of depreciable asset are:

Class of Depreciable Asset Depreciation RateOffice Furniture and Equipment 15% SLComputer Software and Equipment 30% SL

(b) Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, cash in banks and investments in money market instruments.

(c) RevenueInterest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the financial assets.

Members subscriptions are recognised in the year that the subscription relates to upon the agreement by the member to take up their subscription.

Sponsorship revenue is recognised as revenue progressively over the sponsorship term. Grant funding is recognised as revenue when the right to receive the grant is determined.

Revenue from the sale of goods comprises revenue earned from the sale of goods donated and purchased for resale. Sales revenue is recognised when control of the goods is passed to the customer.

Revenue from the rendering of a service is recognised upon the delivery of the service to the customers.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(d) Leases Lease payments for operating leases, where substantially all the risks and benefits remain with the lessor, are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. (e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), except:

(i) where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority, it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of an asset or as part of an item of expense; or

(ii) for receivables and payables which are recognised inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables.

(f) Employee Benefits Provision is made for the Association’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by employees to the end of the reporting period.

Short term employee benefits are current liabilities included in employee benefits, measured at the undiscounted amount that the Association expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement. Annual leave is included in other long term benefit and discounted when calculating the leave liability as the Association does not expect all the annual leave for all employees to be used wholly within the 12 months of the end of the reporting period. Annual liability is still presented as current liability for presented purposes under AASB 101 presentation of financials statements. (g) Income TaxNo provision for income tax has been raised as the association is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.

(h) Impairment

In respect of non-for-profit entities, where future economic benefits of an asset are not primarily dependent on the asset’s ability to generate net cash inflows and where the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits, value in use is determined as the depreciated replacement cost of the asset. Depreciated replacement cost is defined as the current replacement cost of an asset less, where applicable, accumulated depreciation calculated on the basis of such cost to reflect the already consumed or expired future economic benefits of the asset. The current replacement cost of an asset is its cost measured by reference to the lowest cost at which the gross future economic benefits of that asset could currently be obtained in the normal course of business.

(i) Significant Judgements and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the committee members to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate in revised and in any future periods affected.

No significant judgements or estimates have been made in the preparation of the financial statements.

81

(j) Reserves

The Contingency Fund, X-Umpire Support Fund and Health and Provident Fund represent amounts that have been allocated from accumulated funds specifically for the purpose of providing support and benefits to both current and former members of the Association. These funds are available for use as required at the direction of the Executive Committee.
