2 Year in Review
President’s ReportDear Fellow Members,
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present the Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL
Club’s Year in Review for 2012.
As a result of the dedication of our Management Team led by CEO, Dean Thomas working
together with the support of the Board of Directors, we are proud to announce that the past
year has been very impressive for us with even greater profit results than any previous year of
the Club’s history.
Throughout 2012, Members would have noticed a significant amount of renovations and
refurbishment, which has included a $1million upgrade of our main kitchen, as well as the
functions area of the Viva Room, the Viva Bar and Grill also the Lounge.
Member’s can also look forward to enjoying future improvements of the Club’s facilities as
we embark on a $15 million building Master Plan in 2013 and beyond. This is one of the most
exciting developments to happen to the Club in over 10 years and we are very pleased to able
to share with you details of this Master Plan ‘Revealed’ in this issue of Chevron.
I would like to thank all of our Members for your support and understanding during these times
of construction and renovation, we will endeavour to keep the disruptions to a minimum.
2012 was also a great year for our Lifestyle classes and our Sub-Clubs, with hundreds of new
members taking advantage of the opportunity to keep active and fit, while at the same time
enjoying making terrific new friendships.
Our Management Team are also working on a unique building plan for Bargo which will be
revealed in the coming months. The amalgamation with Magpie Sports is nearing completion
and we hope to bring them into the CHP community by the end of April.
In closing, I would like to acknowledge my fellow members of the Board of Directors who
have displayed strong support and partnership and our sincere congratulations to our CEO,
Dean Thomas and his dedicated Management Team for achieving this exceptional and very
impressive result.
Kind regards,
Neville Brown

Use of Members FundsIn 2012 we generated more than $8 million in operating surplus; from this we allocated $1.315 million in Community and Members Benefits, leaving a cash surplus of $6.76 million.
Cash Surplus Reinvestment Community & Member Benefits
$6.76m $4.72m $1.32m
CommunityOur community contributions were up 35% to a record figure of $865,000! Out of our profit each year we set aside 20% for the next year’s community projects. In fact, the 2012 community dividend was slightly higher at 22.50% of the 2011 profit; for more information please refer to ClubGRANT details on the following page.
Dean Thomas Chief Executive Officer
ReinvestmentMost of the cash surplus was invested back into the Club facilities with $4.72 million being spent on various projects including;
• Renovating and upgrading the Main Kitchen including all new equipment;
• Creating the Anytime Fitness Facility; • New gaming machines at CHPRSL; • New gaming machines and computer systems at Bargo; • New furniture throughout the gaming room and VIVA
Lounge and Function Room; • Upgrading vital infrastructure in plant & equipment • Digital upgrade television system including new
televisions throughout CHPRSL
The balance of cash surplus was used to improve the cash reserves and repay borrowings.
Whilst the last two years have seen the Club finances significantly improved, the years prior to that were at times difficult, and the Club’s Board of Directors should be congratulated for their steady leadership. Once again, I would like to acknowledge our wonderful staff for their courtesy and professionalism; not only to our Members but also in the respectful way they treat everyone involved in the Club.
Members, it is a very exciting time to be a part of Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Club as we embark on the most significant building program in 10 years. We are striving to reach our goal of providing $1 million into community support, and will add another Club to our Group with the Magpie Sports amalgamation. This prosperity can be attributed to several things; our hard working staff and management, our Board and of course, our loyal Members.
I look forward to seeing you at the Club.
6 Year in Review
ClubGRANTSOur ongoing commitment to the local community was
again reinforced in 2012 as your Club donated over
$835,000 to more than 100 schools, hospitals, not-for
profit organisations and sporting groups throughout the
Canterbury district.
The ClubGRANTS program is a state-wide initiative introduced in 1998 (formally Community
Development and Support Expenditure Scheme). Clubs that earn over $1 million annually in
gaming machine revenue are to provide funding for community projects.
Dean Thomas, CEO of Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL Club, said: “Year after year, we
commit to funding more than what is legally required by ClubGRANTS with 2012 being no
exception as our contribution will amount to over 20 per cent of our annual profit. The
community is our foundation and we will continue to support the area in where we live
and breathe, including sports, health and aged care, disability, youth, education and family
services; they are all so vitally important.”
Part of the ClubGRANTS budget is overseen by a committee of local Clubs and Canterbury
Council. Collectively, a range of charities and not-for-profit organisations throughout the
Canterbury Local Government Area have been supported. The scheme has had tremendous
impact on both large charitable organisations as well as smaller localised services. They
have gained valuable resources and support, ultimately from their own community.
Based on a very successful year in 2012 and this year’s profit forecast, we anticipate
that close to $1,000,000 will be invested in community projects in 2013. This substantial
amount equates to an average annual increase of 20% of funds donated, higher than the
NSW Government’s ClubGRANTS recommendations.
“Clubs have been at the heart of the community for many years, providing local groups and charities with encouragement and support. Bringing communities together and being able to give back is the basis of what RSL’s are built upon and something we are very proud of.” Dean Thomas
“ “Your donation of a humidicrib to RPA saved our newborn Grandson’s life. We appreciate this life preserving machine and the generosity of you and your Club Members, thank you so very much.
