rt Team
The new team comprising club support in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia has been working closely as work plans are integrated. Matt Chesterman in South Australia has been visiting districts in his initial launch into his role
In recent months we’ve had countless requests from clubs for assistance in areas such as; constitutions, governance, member protection issues, grant writing, financial analysis, vision 2025, gender equality insurance. Most often a phone call or an email link to a resource on the portal is all that is needed. In many cases a face to face visit by a GA staff member is more beneficial. A number of these occur along with presentations at various industry forums. In the case of Horsham Golf Club with major financial problems, a four day visit by John Stamp with the committee was needed.
Identifying clubs most in need of in-depth assistance has been a challenge in the past. Clubs are being asked for their annual reports from which clubs are categorised by turnover to review their cashflow, balance sheet and profit and loss statements. Financial metrics are being used to determine the highest priority clubs to try and assist. The Clubs & Facilities Support team are working to finalise these metrics and gather financial data for Australian clubs to assist in GD team planning and strategic prioritisation throughout 2019.
We look forward to presenting this metric to the business prior to April.
