COMMODORE’S REPORT<br />
Dominic Papaluca reports:<br />
Hello Members,<br />
Just a short note this month…as we are busy preparing for the Half-Yearly meeng of Members in March.<br />
Management, Administraon and Governance<br />
Doug is seling in nicely. I’m sure most of you have seen him around the club by now. He is learning<br />
more and more each day…exactly how much goes on at our lile club!<br />
Finance<br />
We are squirrelling as much money away as we can at the moment. We actually hit $1M in the bank<br />
during January…of course this is due to the way we bill every 6 months. However, it is great to see. We<br />
can thank some good management along the way, and it all started with John Allpike making everything<br />
more cost-effecve. External Funcons have been completely turned around since Jennifer has been<br />
here. Also, Internal Funcons are closer to break-even now. So we are meeng our budgets in virtually<br />
all respects. We have some big projects coming up…and we are trying to prepare ourselves as much as<br />
possible for them.<br />
Capital Works Program<br />
As menoned last month, some of the smaller projects will be commenced in the next few months,<br />
namely: the ladies toilets upstairs; the downstairs toilets/change rooms etc. A-West refurbishment will<br />
probably cost more than we think…so we are looking at that right now…and trying to save up as much as<br />
we can for it. We have heard back from the Swan River Trust regarding our H Jey submission, and are<br />
working through their requirements at the moment. We will let you know once final approval is<br />
received…it will take some me yet.
