OFFICIAL MAGAZINE OF TATTERSALL’S CLUB BRISBANE From the President May I start my report for this Winter Edition of The Tattler with a few words of thanks to John McCoy who, after three very successful years, stepped down as President at our Annual General Meeting on 27 March 2012. I am sure I speak for all Members in thanking John for his tireless efforts during very challenging times. His leadership and vision have seen the Club achieve new heights and I am fortunate indeed to have such a solid foundation on which to build further. I know we all wish John well in his future endeavours and that we see him often in the Club that he has been so instrumental in shaping. I think that it is also appropriate that I recognize Des Whybird, our new Vice- President along with Michael Cassidy, Scott McAlpine and Stuart Fraser; all of whom were returned as Office Bearers in our recent election. I thank them for agreeing to once again take up positions on the Committee and welcome the wisdom and commitment that they will continue to bring to the Club. I am also pleased to welcome Ernie Ward to the Committee for the first time. He is already a Member of the Racing Club Committee and I know that we will all benefit from his formidable business experience. Finally, thank you, the Members, for your confidence and trust in appointing me as your new President. I am truly honoured and will give my utmost to ensure that Tatts continues to prosper and grow.

Once again the Black Tie Boxing Night saw a Club bursting at the seams demonstrating its enduring popularity as a signature Club Event. Importantly, this fixture also promotes and benefits amateur boxing in the State as raffle proceeds are directed towards participating amateur boxing clubs and the Queensland Amateur Boxing Australia. We were honoured to welcome Mr Keith Payne, VC to our ANZAC Service and near record attendance at the subsequent luncheon was very pleasing to see. Lastly, our ‘Evening with the Hon John Howard’ was also extremely well supported. My intention is to ensure that we continue to enjoy that unique appeal and entertainment offered by Tattersall’s and I am sure we all look forward to the July Sportsman’s’ Grill featuring Darren Lockyer as our guest speaker. Your Committee has recently approved an ambitious capital expenditure programme over the next five years. Increased revenue from the Arcade in 2013 will permit us to undertake many of those tasks that we have had to defer in the past. Copies of this programme will be displayed on the Club Notice Board for your information and consideration. Many of the projects identified are behind the scenes and rather unglamorous but all are essential if we are to maintain standards within the Club and meet our landlord obligations to our Arcade tenants. I know that some of you will be disappointed that a number of worthy projects have not been included in the programme. Our Committee has had to make some hard decisions on priorities but 8 Tattersall's Tiara Preview 10 Leukemia Foundation Pin and Win Competition 12 John Howard's Bestseller 14 Former Prime Minister Comes to Tatts 15 John McCoy’s Farewell Dinner 15 Younger Members’ Breakfast 16 Anzac Day 17 Guest Sports Columnist 18 Boxing Spectacular 20 Travel Talk from Travel Associates 22 Kiwi Cue Capers you will note that planned expenditure has been pushed to record levels over the next three years. We welcome your views on the programme as well as suggestions you may have to ensure that the Club offers ‘value’ to all Members and all interests. I am pleased to report that the Club Sponsorship Agreement with Tattersall’s Racing Club Inc has now been implemented. As of 24 April 2012, all Club Members are also Members of the Racing Club. No fees or subscriptions will be charged for this added benefit. By now, you all should have received your membership badges and guest passes in the mail. I hope to see as many of you as possible at future ‘Tatts Days’, particularly our biggest day on 23 June 2012, at Eagle Farm. Financially, the Club is performing well in times that are demanding for many of us. We are well on track to meet our budget projections for the year but I remain keen to see more Members taking advantage of our facilities and services on a regular basis. A feature our membership of this great Club is the family of Sub-Clubs, many of which are featured in each edition of The Tattler. They offer you the opportunity to engage with other Members participating in like sports or cultural pursuits. Please consider joining one or more of these Sub-Clubs to further enrich your membership benefits and enjoyment. I urge you all to use your Club to maximum benefit and I look forward to seeing you all as often in the Club as possible.
