RNZN CENTRAL FUND
BY SCOTT HANDLEY, NAVAL STAFF ACCOUNTANT
ON 24 May, the RNZN Central Fund received $51,927 as the
final distribution of profits from the Armed Forces Canteen
Council for 2006/07. AFCC distributes its profits to Service
Central Funds based upon the level of sales registered in
Service outlets. DCN is a member of the AFCC Council.
The RNZN Central Fund was formed in 1962 after the
amalgamation of three amenities funds (Officers, Ratings
and WRENS). The income of those three funds had initially
been generated from the 1951 Wharf Strike and had been
used to provide such amenities as the Fleet Swimming Pool.
In 1981 the Central Fund and the RNZN Central Sports Fund
amalgamated. The Sports Fund had been originally set up in
1906 (then known as the Timaru Fund) and provided gunnery
prizes to the Ship’s company of HMS NEW ZEALAND. In
1921 the Timaru and the Christchurch funds amalgamated
as the Squadron Sports Fund, later to become the RNZN
Central Sports Fund.
Between 1987 and 1997 a number of smaller prize and memorial
funds have been amalgamated into the RNZN Central
Fund. These were: the Barrie Dunlop Memorial Fund and
Captain Palmer Tankard Fund; the Herbert Lott RNZN Trust
Fund; the Commodore K.J. Lewis Memorial Prize Fund; and
the Medical Assistant Prize Fund.
Other than AFCC distribution, the RNZN Central Fund generates
income via bank and investments interest, non-AFCC
canteen rebates and donations.
THE RNZN CENTRAL FUND’S AIMS ARE:
• To purchase amenities not provided from public funds
• To maintain assets provided by non-public funds
• To make grants to ships, establishments or other funds
• To be used for any purpose in the interest of the Navy
as the Trustees may decide
• To maintain a level of capital equity that will generate
sufficient income to fund the above.
Notable contributions to Navy welfare have been made
by the Central Fund as follows:
• Purchase of motels at Taupo (Arawa Lodge) and Mt
Maunganui (Takitimu Lodge)
• Annual grants to: ex-ships’ associations; Family
Support Fund; RSA Christmas parcels; Navy Sport and
Recreation Council Trust; and the Chaplains’ Fund
• Annual scholarship at the University of Canterbury
• Availability of Personal Loans and other welfare
support for civilians (equivalent to those available to
Regular Force personnel through the Benevolent Fund
or Officers’ Benevolent Trust)

APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF
INFORMATION OFFICER
CDF has announced the appointment of Peter Thomas to the
role of Chief Information Officer for NZDF. Peter will join the
NZDF on 16 May 2007 and initially will spend a significant
amount of time familiarising himself with the CIS functions,
followed by an extensive programme of NZDF familiarisation
visits and discussions.
The new CIO has spent many years working in Information
Technology, in a number of General Manager roles
within the Westpac Banking Corporation. ‘Peter’s senior
and executive level management and leadership skills will
be welcome in NZDF,’ said LTGEN Matepare.
Peter Thomas is taking over from Derek Locke, who will
leave NZDF at the end of June, after about 20 months in
the CIS role. Over this time Derek has made a very considerable
contribution to progressing the many IT initiatives
within Defence.
