2018-2019 Presidents Report –
Welcome to our 58th Annual General Meeting and Presentation. Whilst the preceding year has had the odd lowlight there have also been many positives. The loss of the Willandra course was obviously disappointing but we are still grateful to the Gibb family for their generous support of the Club over many years. We also thank Ron & Ruth McKinnon for the use of their property, Timberhills, at Tomerong.
On the positive side it has given us the push to seek out a permanent ‘home’ for our cross country running. With this in mind we are working with the Berry Riding Club to create a course on the
Council owned land they occupy at Berry. Our goal being to secure a formal agreement for a longterm tenure on the site. In the meantime the Havadjia family have kindly established a fantastic new course for our use on their farm, Hollyhills, at Cambewarra. All runners I’ve spoken to love it and rate it as a true cross country course.
Progress has been made on the new athletics complex and at this stage council is planning on construction on the originally proposed site at the Bomaderry Sporting Complex. The project will however be dependent on available funding from state and federal government. We will continue to use the Ron Brown complex and carry out maintenance and upgrades as required.
Participation for the 2018 cross country season was down on previous years and this was truly evidenced in our reduced entries at state relays and state championships. Track and field participation during the summer season on the other hand increased. We had good entries at the state relay championships and country championships. The relay runners in their ‘2541’ headbands grabbed a lot of attention at country champs. Attendance at Wednesday night competition was strong and it is hoped the trend continues through the winter season.
Plenty of records were broken in track field during the season particularly by our masters athletes. Their achievements at club level also carrying on to state level and beyond. Our junior athletes also put in some creditable performances during the season with plenty of medals and personal bests to show for their effort.
Thank you to all our volunteers for your efforts during the year. Without them we would not be able to conduct any competition. More help is always appreciated. To finish I would like to thank my fellow committee members for all their valuable work over the last year. Whenever a job needed doing there was always someone ready to take care of it without hesitation. Thanks team.
Looking forward to seeing you all throughout the coming year.
Yours in athletics,
Scott Johnson.
Secretary’s Report –
Welcome to the Nowra Athletics Club 2019 Annual General Meeting.
The 2018/2019 track and field season saw a rise in our numbers from previous years and it was nice to see many new faces with those not just being children and young adults but their parents often competing as well. Wednesday night competition would not be possible without some club stalwarts who regularly attend and with the generosity of their time ensure that all of our members get to perform in their chosen events. Nowra is known for its great family atmosphere and it is certainly a pleasure to watch on Wednesday night as everyone cheers from the sideline or competes in a friendly competition with their peers.
Track and field season is now over and we are starting to ramp up with our cross country challenges – This year has seen a significant change in our running venues. After nearly 60 years we are no longer able to use the Willandra cross country course. This is a disappointing outcome and contrary to what you may have heard it was through no fault of our members or committee that this venue is no longer available.
It is with regret that we announce that this will be our last season running at Timber hills as the McKinnon family have advised us that they will no longer be offering the course for public use. Nowra athletics club has run on this course for over 40 years it will be a great loss and it will never adequately be replaced.
On a brighter note, this year we are fortunate to be able to run on the beautiful family owned course of Holly Hill thanks to the Havadjia family. Their generosity can never be repaid but we can make sure we appreciate the use of this beautiful course.
I am sure many of you have heard that we are in talks with the Berry riding club and we are in the process of marking a course which we hope to have up and running around mid-season.
Our club could not be as long lived without the loyalty of our members who return year after year – increasing our numbers from generation to generation with grandparents, their children and the grandchildren now part of our Club.
We can never know what the future will hold but Nowra Athletics Club will continue to grow and serve our community in many more years to come.
