CSCC Annual Report 2009–2010 1

President’s Report

This year has proven to be quite difficult financially for the Canberra Southern Cross Club with overall profit for 2009–2010 being $677,701 on revenue of over $45 million, representing just over 1 per cent return on both capital and turnover. Margins are still very tight, requiring constant management and executive monitoring on pricing and cost control.

Clubs are not the gold mines that some in the community and particularly the media would have you believe. Taxes, Federal Government regulation, and the anti club mentality of some elements of the media in Canberra threatens the continued existence of clubs as we know them. The closure of the Yamba club from the end of September is further evidence of this – a very difficult decision the Board has had to make with a great deal of regret.

Despite difficult trading conditions over the last year however, the Club has made some major achievements.

The Board made a conscious decision to maintain the same community contribution as last year of $1.6 million and presented cheques to 100 community and charitable organisations at the Charities lunch in early August, attended by the Chief Minister, other Members of the Legislative Assembly and Federal members Annette Ellis and Gary Humphries.

Another major achievement was winning the ACT Club of the Year in the large club division for an exemplary two years in a row. This award only makes us more determined to continue to raise industry standards and respond to the growing and changing needs of our members.

2010 has also been a year of consolidation – the Woden Club has seen an upgrade of it’s bar and lounge area. At Jamison the car park has been extended and new signage provided. At the Yacht Club a review of parking issues is underway and a parking survey is proposed for later in the year.

Some Member Service improvements have also been introduced, such as: • The provision of healthy meal and small appetite options

at Henry’s Family Restaurant at Woden, Tuggeranong and Jamison.

• The introduction of StarRewards enabling members making food and beverage purchases to redeem their points for other services in the Club.

• The establishment of a New Members night providing an introduction to new members to the services provided by the Club.

• The redevelopment of the CSCC Web Page allowing for greater functionality.

• A continued focus on the environment and ways of reducing our carbon footprint.

In recognition of our commitment in providing services to members, we also won the Member Services Award for the ninth time out of the ten years the award has been presented.

So what does the future hold?

The Board is committed to:• Maintaining it’s leadership role in community

contributions.• Reducing debt – a debt reduction strategy is in place

and being actioned.• A continuing focus on developing facilities and services in

areas of members demand, such as Health and Fitness, Events Centre and in the Northside of Canberra.

Whilst there is still much to be done, the recognition that the Club received at the ClubsACT award night indicates that most things are being done well and I thank CEO Greg Mitchell, General Manager Carol Sawyer, their dedicated staff and the Board for their continued dedication and hard work.

Election of Directors – 2010 Annual General MeetingIn accordance with the Clubs Constitution, three Directors of the Board must retire at each Annual General Meeting (but are eligible for re-election, subject to the usual criteria) which is determined on a rotation basis and the three Directors who need to retire this year are Simon Plummer, Chris Behrens and Bob Lloyd. They are all eligible for re-election and have been nominated for election.

In addition in accordance with Section 13.6 of the Clubs Constitution Adrian Caddy’s position of Director will become vacant this year following his 72nd birthday. However in accordance with section

12.1 the Board has decided that the number of Directors will be reduced to 10. Therefore this year there will be three positions declared vacant.

One other candidate has nominated for election and therefore we have four candidates standing for the three positions to be declared vacant.

Details of all candidates appear on the following page and members were requested to vote for the three vacant Directors positions in the Canberra Southern Cross Club Spring 2010 Newsletter. ACT Electoral Commissioner is to be responsible for counting votes for this year’s election and the Board has appointed the Chief Executive Officer Greg Mitchell as the Returning Officer.

After the ACT Electoral Commissioner has advised the results of the election the successful candidates will meet with the other seven Directors of the Club (prior to the Annual General Meeting on 13th October 2010) and elect the Board Executive for the forthcoming year, which will be announced at the AGM.

The remaining seven Directors who did not need to stand for election at this time are, Paul Rollings, Jack Rice, Mary Laughlin, Kim Marshall, David Grimmond, John Lewis and Adrian O’Loughlin.
