President’s Report This season has been a very competitive one in all grades. Avondale has shown a strong presence in winning the First and Second Grades Premierships and the Clubs' Championship. It was good to see Camden successful in Third Grade and finally, I commend the Tech Waratahs Club for being able to contest all Grand Finals, which is no mean feat in this day and age. There exists a difficulty in our sport in competing for players. We now face a different leisure industry where people can do their exercise at any time of the day and night and choose from an ever increasing diversity of sports available in the winter months as opposed to the traditional winter sports. It is to great credit that so many of our clubs have risen to this challenge and have increased their playing and supporters' strength. continuing battle for the future of our sport. This will be a We also face an ongoing rise in the costs associated with running rugby although we do have the support of two major sponsors, The Builders Club and Illawarra Credit Union, both being local industries which prefer to support local sport. Without such sponsorship it would be difficult to fully meet all our commitments. We are revamping our competition next year with First and Second Grades plus Colts in the Top Club Competition and Third Grade in a separate competition. It is hoped that this will encourage the jump from Junior to Senior rankings and take the pressure off clubs, to an extent, by taking into account the competition for numbers. It would also mean we have a vehicle for club growth. The Junior Competition has continued to grow and has now been rationalized into age groups for Under 11's, 13's, 15's and 17's. We also held competitions for younger ages, however, it was felt that we needed to 'steady the ship'. We can still meet our representative commitments with even-age teams and the continuous support of the Juniors and the parents of the Juniors is very much appreciated. Attending Junior games is such a worthwhile, pleasurable experience which gives hope for the future of our game. I wish to sincerely thank the members of the Board for their contribution this year and although I am loathe to single out any one member, I do commend Tony Feiertag, our Treasurer, who has worked tirelessly to get the Junior and Senior accounts in order and who Illawarra District Rugby Union Inc.
