Home of the Mighty Bugs
The Strategic Plan (“Plan”) for Wynnum & District Rugby Union Club Inc. (“Bugs”) has been
developed to set the vision and direction for the club. It provides an overview of what needs to
be done to build on previous planning exercises. The Strategic Plan for 2015 – 2019 provides a
framework that will guide decision making over the next five years. It will provide focus and will
enable the club to be pro-active about the future and maximise opportunities.
Over the next five-year period, the Plan will lay the foundation for our club to work as a collective.
It will inspire us to recognise we are in control of our destiny, that we are a team in pursuit of one
common cause: the overall sustainability, growth and success of the Bugs.
The Plan was informed by significant research (literature review and data review) and prepared after
consultation with key stakeholders through various meetings and discussions.
Through this process, the club has identified key objectives that consider the needs of members and
other stakeholders. Due consideration was also given to the strategic objectives of Queensland Rugby
Union and the Brisbane City Council (“BCC”) and changing demographics of the Wynnum North area.
The Bugs is a community club that promotes, fosters,
supports and encourages participation in rugby union.
The club provides opportunities for people to participate
in rugby union and draws most of its membership from the
local area. Total membership now exceeds 1,000 people –
410 of which are players (Juniors, Seniors and Veterans).
Supportive, Family Friendly, Participation, Respect and
Encouragement are the core values that will drive the club
forward so as to deliver against the key objectives in our
key performance areas.
Key Factors
Our ValuesOur culture refers to the character of our club or our operating ‘climate’ and collective ‘personality’. This is shaped by our core values, beliefs, principles, traditions, ingrained behaviours, communication, practices and style of operation.
Our core values help define our standards and behaviours and what is acceptable and what is not.
Our values define ‘how we do things’ at the Bugs.
SupportiveAn inclusive and welcoming environment where participation and personal development is encouraged.
Family FriendlyA family friendly club that develops its player base locally thus creating a sense of connectedness and belonging.
ParticipationA club which encourages player participation in a safe and friendly environment; regardless of individual skill level.
EncouragementWe provide a positive environment for people to be active and involved in community life.
RespectOur behaviour is underpinned by an attitude of respect… for members, opponents, officials and the broader community. We believe that harmony during a game makes for a more enjoyable experience. We encourage positivity and applaud good play by our players and the opposition.
Critical IssuesFacility development Various short term facility upgrades are proposed - as per the club’s Master Plan, so as to improve the venue for the benefit of members and the broader community. Scoping exercises should be conducted that can be used as the basis for Council approval processes/grant submissions.
Financial stability The club significantly improved its financial position in 2014. It is important to consolidate this position in 2015 so as to further establish a foundation for continued growth. An important component of this effort is exploring avenues to increase non-rugby realated revenue.
Our Ideology
VisionThe Bugs will be a leading rugby union club
in the south region - a club that is closely
linked to its community. We will operate from
a multi-sport precinct supported by strong
community and business partnerships - a
central sporting hub for local people. A club
that members are proud to be associated
with.
MissionWe provide a welcoming atmosphere that
encourages participation in rugby union and
promotes an active and healthy lifestyle. We
foster the sport of rugby union and offer an
enjoyable environment where friendships are
developed and where people can develop their
skills both on and off the field. We actively
develop relationships with other organisations
to deliver outcomes for our community and
engage with our members so as to cultivate a
family friendly state.

Wynnum & District Rugby Union Sponsorship Proposal SEASON 2015
page 06
Proposal SEASON 2015
SILVER SPONSORSHIP – Club Sponsor- $2,000 Includes (Limited to 7 Sponsors):
• Company logo across the back or on the sleeve of the training shirt (distributed to every player in the club) • A framed 2015 Wynnum Bugs Jersey • 2 x tickets for 2015 Sponsor’s Day • A 2015 Wynnum & Districts Rugby Union Ball • Invitation to 2015 Senior’s Awards Night
ALTERNATIVE SPONSORSHIP Wynnum Rugby Union is a diverse and dynamic club and standardised sponsorship is not the best manner to support the club for some businesses or entities. The offer and commitment of specialised goods and services can often be as valuable as support in cash for the operations and growth of a community club. Examples can be donations of meat trays, sign printing, electrical, building or painting services, media management etc. As it is often difficult to compare offers and services, please feel free to discuss a mutually beneficial tailored sponsorship package with the club.
SCOREBOARD SPONSORSHIP - $12,500 In 2015, Wynnum Bugs will be providing a sponsor the opportunity to invest in a permanent ‘naming rights’ sponsorship arrangement through the funding of the installation of an electronic scoreboard at the club’s Elanora Park grounds. Not only will the scoreboard be highly visible to the supporters of both our and visiting clubs but also, as our grounds are used by the local community, the sponsor will have on-going visibility.
