What do you gain as being president?
& how do you benefit from the club?
There are no direct gains or benefits associated to the role of
President. Our organisation is commonly known as a 'grass roots' sporting
organisation purely run by volunteers. All the work that is done is for the
benefit of the members no-one is paid. The only real benefit that the
volunteers enjoy is the satisfaction that the players and supporters have
enjoyed their season
of cricket and hopefully return again the following year.
What
do you think is good about ex servos?
My personal involvement with the Club extends (23) years and there are
many great memories over this period. Ex-Servicemen's Cricket Club is the only
local Club who has a private ground and training facility and is we'll regarded
as one of the best grounds on the South Coast.
What
do you see as the future of the club?
The future of Club is sound and will always have strong financial
support from the Exservicemens Club. There will be challenges ahead as cricket
in general is seeing a major decline in junior numbers as parents and kids seek
alternate sports which consume less time.
Ex-servicemen’s will need to focus on marketing, player retention and
continue to offer a great cricket experience to all their members similar to
what has been offered the last (50) years.
What
is your role as being president include. what do you look after?
The role of president primarily oversees the operation of the cricket
Club who is well supported by an executive committee. They form a team a
decision makers who need to have a good understanding of the needs of the
members.
The committee need to follow a set of rules known as the constitution.
This is a document that guides the committee on how the club should be run. The
constitution also has a set of by-laws which is a set of internal policies, it
helps members understand how decisions are made. The policies are reviewed each
year and developed to suit the changing needs of the Club.
The on-field performances are one of many measures of success for the
club. Players enjoy winning games of cricket but the overall enjoyment and
skill improvement of the players combined with good quality social events
supersede the need to win cricket games every week.
Compared to all the other teams in the
shoalhaven in each grade, about what percentage plays for ex servos?
Exservicemens have been around for over (50) years. Last season was the
best on record with (7) premierships and the club championship. They boast a
range of qualified coaches who deliver very good training and skill development
programs to the players. The club caters for players from (5) years to adult
and has cricket available for all skill levels.
The club will continue to play good consistent cricket and offer a very
rewarding cricket experience for their members in the years to come.
