ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Athletics Tasmania acknowledges the ongoing efforts and commitment made by its officials, coaches, volunteers and administrators. Our sport could not be successful without their contribution. Also we would like to acknowledge the efforts of our athletes and assure them that we will make every effort to give them the best support and competition that we can in the coming year. We were fortunate to again have IGA Supermarkets as our Principal Commercial Partner, whilst special recognition must also go to our Government Partner the Tasmanian Government whose financial contribution to our organisation is most welcome through Sport and Recreation Tasmania and Events Tasmania. Our parent body Athletics Australia often in partnership with the Australian Sports Commission supported us in many ways in 2011/12 – including the development project grants national insurance and state performance programs, and in the hosting once again of two national events during the report period. The major sponsors of the Tasmanian Marathon Festival, Cadbury Schweppes, along with Tasmania Police helped us deliver yet another successful edition of this growing event, which continues to grow each year. Events Tasmania provided us with support to enable the sport to successfully stage the Australian Road Walks Championships and the Briggs Athletics Classic. We thank all our sponsors and supporters for their generous assistance:

PRESIDENT’S AND BOARD REPORT 2011-12 During 2011-12 the Board resolved to concentrate on strengthening its formal operational documents and achieved considerable success through the adoption of a new Strategic Plan, the passage of a substantially re-modelled constitution, the consolidation of myriad resolutions and rules into a formal set of by-laws, a Model Club Policy and memorandums of understanding with ATFCA (Tas) and Tasmanian Masters. We believe the Association is in a much stronger position as a result. Accordingly for this year we take the opportunity to report against the nine objectives in our Strategic Plan 2011-2014 which will also reflect high levels of success and achievement in the key deliverables – for the athletes and the sport of athletics. 1 Re-establishing athletics as an activity of choice for Tasmanians: “Participation” is the buzz word of the moment in sports administration and in grant funding. It is something with AT enthusiastically embraces and we welcome the seed funding from AA and the ASC to get some new and effective programs in place. We were delighted with the initiative from the Tasmanian Departments of Education and Sport and Recreation to evaluate and expand physical activity and sport in schools. The decline in both areas has been disturbing and AT will be an active participant in getting things moving. We were saddened to see progress stall on the initial governmental enthusiasm. AT continues to both promote inter-school athletic activity at both primary and secondary level and to pick up the slack when schools are unable to deliver on their own. In 2011 we added the Tasmanian Primary Athletics Carnival to the list of major schools event which we play a key role in delivering. We continue to maintain high levels of media exposure for both our higher performance and participation based activities and maintain a complementary working relationship with Little Athletics Tasmania in officials and coach education, dual registration, clinic delivery and calendar co-ordination. Further pathway enhancement initiatives are planned for 2012-13. AT is proud of its record in providing athletics as a sport of choice for refugees and migrants and athletes with a disability, with higher performance results proving the value for all parties and in the immediate future, we plan doing more at the recreational end of the scale. Our key mass participation activities, the Cadbury Marathon Festival and the All Schools Cross Country both experienced excellent growth in 2011-12. The same result was achieved in similar events run by our clubs and branches. One notable feature is that female participation now exceeds that of males. 2 Developing athletes’, coaches’, officials’, administrators’ and volunteers’ level of skill, knowledge and competence in athletics: Education courses for coaches and officials continue to be a high priority for AT, with a particular emphasis in both areas, on encouraging younger people to take on coaching and officiating. This will provide and alternate base to the traditional recruitment area – parents of athletes. We are aware that the coaching of athletic skills in schools is dying and addressing this and basic skill acquisition, generally, are key focuses. Clubs, along with coaches, are the drivers of participation in the sport and will play an important role here. 3 Motivating and recognising coaches, officials, administrators and volunteers at all levels of athletics who provide quality training and support environments: The Board has initiated a plan to ensure that clubs are able to be effective in responding to the goal of increased participation. The Model Club Policy and the requirement for each club to complete a development plan includes are key elements in providing a solid base. We acknowledge the role of DSR in helping us drive these important planks in our planning. We continue to recognise those who give commitment and service to the sport through a range of awards and recognitions with plans for expansion in the near future. The presentation of coaching awards has been moved to the Annual Athlete Awards Night to increase recognition. 4 Providing quality competition and participation opportunities at all levels: In associations with its regional branches, AT continues to place the quality delivery of competition at all levels, as one of its highest priorities. We acknowledge the unique role of the Tasmanian branch system in managing this area so well and effectively, particularly the provision and maintenance of competition equipment. AT also continues to work with the TAL and SCAT to ensure the continued presence of high quality carnival athletics and the future of a wonderful Tasmania tradition. Assimilation of AT and TAL is now complete with the formal recognition of the TAL (and ATFCA) as a branch in the 2012 constitutional review

6

The early determination and co-ordination of the season calendars and venue use is also a high priority and AT continually pushes AA for early confirmation of national dates, so that state and branch calendars can be finalised well in advance of each season. It seems progress is being made in this area. A proudly and professionally delivered both the Briggs Athletics Classic and the Australian leg of the IAAF Race Walk Challenge during the report year, despite torrid 40 degree conditions for the walks. Tasmanian All-time ranking lists were prepared and published for the first time, creating much interest and a surprising new level of focus for athletes striving for PBs. An efficient system was put in place for the recognition of new records for the under-age women’s throws following the new specifications. 5 Capitalising on the high quality of facility development for athletics in each of Tasmania’s three regions: AT and its branches continue to work closely and co-operatively with the Penguin, Launceston and Hobart City Councils as the providers of three marvellous athletics facilities – each of which is undergoing improvements at this time – partly as part of our ongoing strategic plans but also to play our part in projects such as the national youth and junior throws program, the hammer component of which is based in Tasmania. Improved throwing facilities at each track has therefore been a major focus but AT has also been active in supporting new storage areas at the DAC and the funding proposal for the major re-vamp at Penguin. In co-operation with DSR and with the fine assistance of Fairbrothers and Dean Giblin, the new office area at the Domain will be near completion at the time of presentation of this report. The Board has invited Noel Ruddock AM to accept the honour of the offices being named in recognition of his extraordinary 50 year period of involvement in AT’s administration. 6 Building relationships with kindred bodies, the general community, government at all levels, the education system, the business community and the media: AT is grateful to DSR for the increased levels of co-operation over the report year, especially through the allocation of Leigh Oswin as our liaison officer. We acknowledge that DSR has become far more demanding in its expectation of those bodies which it funds and the Board has taken the appropriate actions to remedy our shortfalls. We thank DSR, Events Tasmania and the Minister, Michelle O’Byrne MP for the support provided. Commercial sponsorship levels remained sound and in this regard we are particularly appreciative of the outcomes of our partnerships with IGA, Cadbury and Macquarie Accounting each of which makes a significant contribution to the Association’s finances. In 2007, following the winding up of the national umbrella body, the AAF, AA requested its Member Associations to do as much as possible to integrate the respective state affiliates into their activities. AT is pleased to report that it has managed well in that regard with the TAL, TWRC, ATFCA (Tas), TMA and many road running groups directly affiliated and working closely with AT. We have no doubt that this is for the betterment of the sport. A different but equally effective path has been followed with LAT. Media relationships continue to be sound and deliver high levels of visibility for Tasmanian athletics. AT is using a broad range of social media tools to engage both with members and the general public. 7 Achieving a quality level of governance of the sport and maintain close working relationships with Athletics Australia and other stakeholders: The Board has revised the structure of the staff in response to both the strategic plan and operational requirements. The key permanent staff roles will be in administration, finance and teams (Fiona Plummer) and participation and development (Simon Bennett). Richard Welsh will cease to be a permanent employee but will continue in key event and marketing areas as a contractor. The Executive as planned has taken on a greater role in the day to day management of the Association. In this regard the contribution of Wayne Fletcher and Kev Morse is particularly acknowledged in enabling progress to be made more quickly in a number of areas including the office development. This has enabled the Board to focus on strategic planning and key decision making at its meetings, as well as showing their talents in their individual areas of responsibility. Close relations and regular contact has been maintained with AA and we are an enthusiastic supporter of its Illicit Drug Education Strategy. 8 Ensuring Athletics Tasmania is financially secure and able to provide ongoing support for quality programmes: AT will deliver as planned a small surplus on operations in 2011/12 after making provision for the investment in programs and a big period of capital investment in building works and competition equipment acquisition. Changes are being made to the operations of the DAC and a business plan has been implemented for the hiring out of chip timing and related services. AT is working closely with AA and IMG commerce on data base and website requirements and the future direction for same.

7

9 Identifying, developing and retaining talented athletes, particularly first-choice athletes: AT has increased its liaison with AA in this area to complement the ongoing, effective and close working relationship with the TIS. Team ATIS, our state talent squad, continues to deliver some fine results including growing numbers of athletes selected for national teams and their success therein. We note in particular Mikayla Genge’s Commonwealth Youth bronze medal and Jacob Birtwhistle’s victory in the World Schools Cross Country Championships. We will meet our selection targets for major teams in 2012. More young Tasmanians are making it onto national youth squads and our athletes are entering national competitions in encouraging numbers. We are proud of the work done by our State selectors and team management personnel in ensuring that those experiences are of a high quality. We continue to appoint a mix of experience and developing talent to look after our state teams and squad activities. In closing, on behalf of the Association I record our thanks and appreciation to fellow Board members and to our dedication staff during the 2011-12 year - Fiona Plummer, Richard Welsh, Peter Fortune and, Simon Bennett as well as our State Team Manager, Rosemary Coleman.

FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT 2011-12

Year ended 31 March 2012 The fully audited accounts for the year ending 31 March 2012 are now provided for the perusal of members. I advise that WHK Denison have continued to undertaken the audit for the organisation for this period. The final outcome for Athletics Tasmania this year will show an operating surplus of approximately $14,000 (subject to final audit to include depreciation). Total income for the year was around $20,000 higher than 2010/11 with income increasing to just over $420,000 for the year and in line with the Budget outcome predicted for the year. Expenditure for the year was approximately $410,000 (again, may change subject to depreciation amount allocated) and was slightly less than planned for in the Annual Budget. A State Government Grant of $30,000 was also received to be allocated towards the office building fund. Those of you have been up to the Domain Athletics Centre lately will have noted that work has well and truly commenced on the extension of the facility to accommodate the offices into the main function building. It is pleasing to report that this exciting development is being undertaken as a fully funded project by Athletics Tasmania utilising surplus funds from previous years along with the abovementioned grant. Athletics Tasmania was again successful in retaining our major local sponsor with IGA remaining on board continuing their support of the sport in Tasmania.

2012 CADBURY MARATHON REPORT

My hopes and expectations for the 2012 Cadbury Marathon were almost exceeded before the race began on Sunday January 8. Six months out, a goal was set to hit 1000 participants across the 42.2, 21.1, 5 and 1km events. So when 1300 had signed up on the Friday beforehand, the call was made to close entries for the half and full marathons. That didn’t stop several hundred more joining up for the shorter fun runs, which meant that more than 1600 took part in this year’s event. An early start and overcast sky met the competitors of the marathon, the first of four races of the morning. A quick start from course record holder Scott McTaggett saw a breakaway of four runners move away from the field early on. The eventual winner was Alex Matthews who waited patiently before clocking 2:28:07. Winner of the women’s marathon event and current Australian marathon champion Kristen Molley took the title in 2:48:53. Daniel Smee and Amy Hinds were crowned Tasmanian marathon champions, with the event incorporating the Athletics Tasmania championships. The half-marathon was taken out Dave Thomas in the men’s and Lauren Shelley in the women’s. For the third year running, the Cadbury Half Marathon also included the Australian Masters Championships, which helped to draw several interstate runners to the event. More than 500 of this years participants were from either interstate or overseas, with runners coming from as far Canada, Finland, Italy, Japan, Germany, Philippines, USA and the UK. Interestingly, more women entered the 2012 event than men, which was the first time in the event history. While the most common age for participants was 40. The Cadbury Marathon is now one of Athletics Tasmania’s key events on the calendar and a significant revenue raiser for the sport, enabling AT to invest into equipment for out of stadium events. Over 90 volunteers helped out on the day, with many coming from clubs who were able to raise money from the event. Huge thanks go to Caz Mitchell and her team at Cadbury, along with our valued sponsors like The Running Edge, Mizuno, Tasmanian Police, R4YL, irun.org.au, Hill St Gourmet Meats, 7HOFM, Mercure,

Mercury, GU, IGA, Marathon-photos, Claremont Golf Club, Marathon Guru, 2XU and Europcar.

EVENTS AND MARKETING REPORT 2011-12 Everyone loves an Olympic year and it’s exciting to be working in the premier Olympic sport in the lead up to the games once again. The flow on effect of the Olympics is huge, going from those lucky enough to be there, to keen followers at home and the inspiring out next generation. Fortunately I’ve worked with all in the past year. Tasmania has enjoyed yet another successful year in Athletics. Our athletes have performed admirably at a national level, with many going further to compete overseas at events such as the IAAF World Championships, World Junior Championships, World Schools Cross Country, World Mountain Running and University Cross Country, Oceania Championships and the Commonwealth Youth Games. Our number of national medals and international representatives has grown tremendously, which is a credit to the athletes, coaches and all involved for lighting their pathway to get there. Event-wise it’s been another big year. We’ve hosted several national events including the IAAF Race Walks, Australian Masters Half Marathon Championships, Briggs Athletics Classic, Australian Mountain Running Championships and recently the Australian 10km Road Running Championships. In December it will be our turn to put on the Australian All Schools again in Hobart, with Launceston to host the National School Knockout final the day after. Working with Simon Bennett and Peter Fortune, our Team ATIS squad has again benefited from a number of camps and clinics. In September there was a power camp at the Domain, then an all in camp at St Helens in January, with a distance camp recently held in Coles Bay. Perhaps due to my role with Running Australia, I’ve thought that our development focus should not be myopically centered around juniors. Seeing so many adults out doing fun runs around the country makes me think an opportunity to attract post teenage Tasmanian’s to the track is a chance, if we ease up on the performance focus and create a more participatory experience on a weekly level. A benefit of the Running Australia (iRun) program for the state is our ability to promote ourselves to recreational runners. This is a powerful tool for our sport, which enables us to get a message directly to the people in society that are prepared to do a fun run and may be future track and field members. On the sponsorship front, I’m pleased to advise that our partnership with IGA was renewed for a further two years. IGA supermarkets have been the principal partner of Athletics Tasmania since 2008, with naming rights to many of our state titles. In 2013 Cadbury will enter its 30

th year as major sponsor of our

marathon, making it one of the longest running sporting sponsorships in Australia. The support of the Tasmanian Government cannot go unrecognised, nor the input from Athletics Australia. I’d like to thank and mention all of our sponsors from across the past 12 months; The Running Edge, Europcar, Mercure Hobart, 2XU, Mizuno, Hill St Gourmet Meats, 7HOFM, TIS, Telstra, Macquarie Accounting, GU, UTAS, Garmin, Gold Coast Airport Marathon and Run For Your Life magazine. In the 12 months since this last report, our facebook friends has grown by 100% to just on 1100 and at our recent Athlete of the Year party, we launch @AthsTas on twitter, so be sure to follow us.

PARTICIPATION AND DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2011-12 The year 2011/12 has been a hectic one with various changes and innovations. These 12 months have seen our State move forward in development as we have seen to see the next generation of Tasmanian athletes perform on an extremely high level. Team ATIS squad members were encouraged to attend the three annual camps last year, Coles Bay (Distance Running Camp), Hobart (Power Athletes Camp) and St Helens. The Power and Distance Camps are very successful and continue to offer great benefit to the athletes involved with presentations from both Tasmanian and interstate coaches. The St Helens camp is a favourite amongst the athletes as they are able to come together compete at the St Helens Carnival and then experience some varied training on the dunes and on the grassed oval. This mid season camp comes at some criticism from coaches yet is proven to provide a good break to the usual routine for athletes. AWD athletics in Tasmania has taken a big step forward with two outstanding performers surfacing at the Australian Championships - one of whom (Todd Hodgetts) will be competing in London at the Paralympics. AT has also been successful in engaging the disability sector and it seems they are very interested in offering people with a disability a further inclusive path in to athletics of which I hope clubs will embrace. Coaching in the past 12 months has seen the introduction of the new framework for coach accreditation. As this is still a work in progress and our current coaches and staff are getting used to it coaching courses have stalled momentarily, when they return however I am excited to implement new ways to continue a coach’s involvement in club athletics and try to use the currently experienced coaches as mentors to our new coaching ranks. The development of our next generation of coaches started to take place. Primary All Schools: This year we saw a rise in participants at the Primary All Schools by more than 30%, this figure was due to the timing of the event and the added promotion of the event through the TLAA championships. Whilst March isn’t the ideal time of year to hold this event we are benefiting from a rise in numbers once again. SKO: School Knockout participation remained steady this year despite only one team from the north west participating. We also had success on a national level thanks to the dominance of the intermediate team of Hutchins Boys. With plans in place for the next edition it is my goal to ensure SKO competitions can grow once more and become one of the most exciting days on the athletics calendar. Participation growth was a large factor in our success in the past 12 months and I hope that we can grow from this and start to engage further members of the community to help us progress further in the near future

NORTH WEST ATHLETIC CLUB REPORT 2011-2012 In submitting the 2011/2012 President’s Report I am pleased to be able to state that we indeed had a profitable season in many areas of the club. As a club administrator it is important to see all things that come into your in box as potential profit or loss items and seek to construct methods and approaches where by intension and design one overwhelms the other. Being a small regional club with a dispersed population and fewer opportunities for membership or sponsorship it is vital that we grow those areas that offer continuity of profitability. Our canteen has been the mainstay of our balance sheet and we need to further develop and secure this area of business. Maryanne Yates has done a marvellous job on her own for the better part of three years and in doing so has largely kept the club solvent. While our books do not show the same glow of last year largely due to the purchase of our national standard camera and timing equipment, it is understood by the membership that this is an investment in the club’s future. There are many areas of business whereby regular money streams can be attracted by this equipment giving further credibility to the branch’s long term future and profitability. I also consider a ‘fun run’ operated in the same manner as the 3 2 1 in Burnie or the Mersey Run in Devonport, held in Ulverstone in our clubs name with an individual or group photo incorporated into the entry fee, would not only attract monies to the club but greater community profile and hopefully the odd membership. If the club were to organise an event perhaps AT could assist with attracting media and provide support on the day.. Possibly revitalising the ‘talent search’ program for the day and offering registration and membership packages on behalf of A.T. to special performance athletes. We are currently in talks with Burnie Little Athletics to co-stage with our club meets in January and February when their numbers are very low due to school holidays. This is during a period when they are having club and state championships, so in genuine terms we would be dealing with those kids likely to want to progress to senior ranks. Also by extension some of the parents may well look to be site managers or look hopefully to coaching. I have often wondered of the value and benefit of having a ‘Little Aths’ rep at committee level. We have finalised a draft for our Strategic Plan 2012-2015 and I extend thanks to the executive for their time and input into the makeup of this document. The document as it stands is available from the club website. Comment can be made to the executive on line, or by representation at our next monthly meeting. The club owes a special thanks to Joan Wyllie through the Department of Sport and Recreation for her assistance in the construct of the Strategic Plan. On behalf of the club I would like to congratulate Wayne Fletcher for his elevation to the Queens’ Honours List and representing our state as an Olympic Walks Judge, Tristan Thomas for his selection in the Australian Olympic team, Todd Hodgetts for his selection in the Paralympic Team and a World Record in the Shot Put. Our National Junior team is represented by Danielle McConnell, Mikayla Genge, Kaitlyn Morgan, Abbey De La Motte and Max Waldron and Oceanic Games team members Rebecca Direen and Joel Mason, well done to all, congratulations from the North West Athletics Club. In conclusion I would on a personal note and on behalf of the club like to thank the committee and in particular the executive for their time and energy particularly with the Strategic Plan and on the day site management. Particular thanks to Mike Gunson for continuing the cross country program. Club Secretary/Treasurer Phil Clayton has served from day one as a committee person or in his current position for 10 years and his name will be put forward at our AGM for Life Membership. Phil has been the driving force behind many of the clubs successes during that time including the redevelopment of the track and surrounds and the draft strategic plan. Phil has enormous respect statewide for his administrative abilities and can do mentality. Thanks Phil.

ATHLETICS SOUTH REPORT 2011-2012

It is pleasing to note that we have had another successful year, with good participation numbers turning out for both the cross country and track and field programs. It was a great year for our elite athletes with excellent numbers achieving state and national selection. Congratulations to:

athletes who have achieved one or more personal best performances during the year;

athletes achieving state and/or national selection;

officials and helpers who ensure weekly interclub and other yearly meets are successfully conducted;

coaches for continued encouragement and development of athletes. We were all saddened to learn of the passing of our Patron, Mrs Phyllis Wise’s in June 2011. Phyllis, our Patron for many years, was much loved and respected. Athletics South were delighted to hear of the much deserved presentation of the Medal of the Order of Australia to long time stalwart, Wayne Mason in the Queens Birthday Awards in June. Congratulations Wayne. Athletics South were also delighted that long time supporter and past official Ted Best has accepted the Board’s invitation to the role of Athletics South Patron. Board members have worked tirelessly to provide athletes with every opportunity, using the best equipment available. Thank you to all Board members for your dedication, support and enthusiasm. To continue the successful conduct of weekly interclub, there is an urgent need for more officials and helpers. Please consider offering your services to ensure there is no lessening of meet efficiency standards. More assistance will make lighter workload for all. Full training and support will be provided to all newcomers. To all sponsors, we thank you. To our major sponsor, Bennett’s Petroleum, thank you for your continued support for athletes in Southern Tasmania. Thank you also to Sportsco who also continue their much appreciated support, along with Hobart City Council. Without our valued sponsors, our athletes would not have the opportunity to compete weekly at an excellent venue with quality equipment.

NORTHERN BRANCH (NBAAT) REPORT 2011-2012 Firstly I would like to thank all of those branch committee members that gave of their time so freely throughout the course of the season. Without your commitment & dedication this organisation could not continue. I would also like to thank all parents and volunteers that help assist at all our meets. I would like to congratulate Abbey de la Motte and Jacob Birtwhistle for their selections in national Teams and to Todd Hodgetts for his world record in the F20 classification for shot put. Also well done to all athletes that made qualifying standards and those that set pb’s during the season. I don’t often like to single people out, but would like to mention the efforts of a couple of people on the board. Dean Wadley for his efforts in fundraising. Working with Michael Walker for our trivia night and also organising a very successful Bunnings BBQ. Without these funds raised by these events, equipment such as the finish line clock etc. could not be purchased. Also to Sue McClenaghan for her efforts in bringing the northern best performances all but up to date.

13

Due to some very hard work by Sue McClenaghan and Andrew Willis they have obtained a major grant on behalf of the centre board for a new hammer/discus cage. This will go to the improvement and safety for all users of the venue. The most disappointing aspect of the season was the lack of athletes that were competing on a regular basis. I feel that possibly the most contributing factor may be that we had irregular days for competition and that some of our athletes were competing elsewhere. To that end the statewide interclubs need to be looked at closer to give a more even crossover of events but definitely be persevered with. Once again I would like to thank Amanda Wadley and her band of helpers for their work in the canteen. I will not be standing for the president’s position for the coming season and wish the incoming president & committee all the best.

Wim Vaessen PRESIDENT

TASMANIAN MASTERS ASSOCIATION REPORT 2011-2012 Tasmanian Masters Athletics has once again enjoyed a variety of events, achievements, recreational and social activities in the past year. Membership increased from 239 in 2010/11 to 241 in 2011/12. This level of membership is the highest since a 5 year period in the late eighties and early nineties when numbers peaked at 269, and were in excess of 250 each year over that time. With the AMA National Championships scheduled for Hobart in 2014, we are optimistic of reaching record levels of membership again. It has been a record-breaking year in track & field competition with 39 Tasmanian, 6 Australian and 1 World record having been broken by TMA members during the past season. The highlight was John Jago’s membership of an Australian Masters relay team which set a new WR for the M50 4 x 800m relay. TMA had 3 representatives in the World Masters T&F Championships in Sacramento, USA; Mick Stevenson winning 3 gold, 2 silvers and 1 bronze medal and Mike Walker winning a team gold medal. At the Oceania Masters T&F Championships in Tauranga, NZ, there were 7 competitors from TMA who won a total of 21 gold, 9 silver, and 4 bronze medals. The Tasmanian T&F Championship events (70 competitors, including interstate entrants) were held on various occasions: Pentathlons on 14 January, the 10000m run on 25 February and combined AT/TMA State Championships on 23-25 March 2012. Distance events continue to attract excellent numbers and are a major strength of TMA. There were 20 TMA members in the 5,000m and 19 in the 10,000m. We express our thanks to Brian Roe and the AT/AS team plus all those in TMA who officiated. A keen contingent of 28 TMA competitors took part in the Australian Masters T&F Championships in Melbourne at Easter 2012. They achieved 17 gold, 12 silver and 19 bronze medals combined. TMA athletes also competed successfully in other events such as the Australian Masters Games in Adelaide, 2011 and the TAL pro carnivals, especially those at New Town and Richmond in 2012. TMA entered 11 Teams in the annual Postal Relays competition against interstate Teams. All Teams achieved placings with 6 firsts, 2 seconds and 3 thirds, the highlight being the 4 x 800m relay at the Briggs Classic. The Australian Masters Half Marathon Championship was held by TMA in conjunction with the Cadbury Marathon & Half Marathon for the third time in January 2012. A field of 67 participated, including representatives from the ACT, New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. This was a small increase from the 2 prior years and included 51 TMA members. The best age-graded performances by TMA members were from W65, Janet Upcher; M60, Rex Wagner and M50, Philip

14

Clarke. Cross country and road events were programmed and generally well supported by members in both our Northern and Southern regions. A new initiative in the South was the introduction of “last Sunday of the month” fun runs at Risdon Brook Dam Park during the Spring/Summer months. These were very well attended and attracted some new members. Members also continued to participate in events such as the London, Paris, Gold Coast and Melbourne Marathons, City to Bay (Adelaide) and City to Surf (Sydney) to name a few. An increasing number of members are also choosing to compete in Winter Competition organized by affiliates of AT. Both the TMA Road Championships (34 starters) and Cross Country Championships (29 starters) were well supported in 2011. Special congratulations to Suzy Cole for the outstanding achievement of two awards: TMA Athlete of the Meet at the State Championships, 2012, and AT/TMA Female Athlete of the Year 2011-12. Over the year she achieved numerous gold medals and regional, national and state records and notably, broke the W40 MNR which had stood since 1983. Congratulations also to Geoff Gibbons, AT/TMA Male Athlete of the Year. His amazing energy and versatility is demonstrated by his performance in the Oceania Masters Championships where he competed in the pentathlon, decathlon and 9 other individual events. Overall he has produced many gold medals, masters regional and state records and an outstanding M35 record MNR in the decathlon. Congratulations to Alan Coleman (M60) for the best individual performance in the State Championships with a percentage of 91.63% in the 60m sprint, narrowly defeating Jaye Hanson (M45) with 91.58%, also in the 60m sprint. We are also proud of our other top athletes who were nominated for Australian Masters Athletics Awards during the calendar year 2011: Mick Stevenson, John Jago, Geoff Gibbons and Mike Walker. The Jim Burr Memorial Award is presented each year for service to TMA. Past recipients read as a “who’s who” of TMA “doers”. Mike Walker was the recipient in 2011. The Graeme Fennell Memorial Award is presented annually by the City to Casino Fun Run organisers and recognizes a long time runner in the event for their dedication and consistency and the recipient in 2011 was TMA member, David Cresswell. Since first awarded in 2009 it has also been received by TMA members Bob Robertson and Stan Harrex. We look forward with enthusiasm to the 2012/13 year, planning for increased membership and participation in the dynamic sport of athletics, locally, nationally and internationally and our continued mutual relationship with AT.

Mike Walker SECRETARY

TASMANIAN ATHLETIC LEAGUE REPORT 2011-2012 It is with pleasure that on behalf of the Tasmanian Athletic League Inc. that I present our Annual Report for the Season 2011- 2012. Our season starts in November and concludes in early February. During this time we have carnival’s organized by the Professional Cross Country Club of Tasmania, Launceston Carnival Committee, Central Coast Council with the assistance of the TAL, Rosebery Athletic Club, Devonport Athletic Club, Latrobe Bicycle Race Club, Burnie Athletic Club, Hobart Athletic Club and St Helens Athletic Club. Our secretary Glenn Foster has been with the League for two seasons now. Even though it has only been a short time Glenn has taken to the role with ease. We are more than lucky to have such an excellent Secretary how carries out his duties in and efficient manner and keeps not only the Council but the clubs and athletes up to date with the League’s results and meeting minutes. Glenn works very closely with our Treasurer Joshua Geelan. Joshua has been with us for the same amount of time as Glenn. During this time we have been able to purchase Shade Tents for the athletes and officials with the assistance of a grant that Joshua applied for on our behalf. We are extremely lucky to have two people in these position’s that keep the League running efficiently. A very important part of the Carnival Series is the handicapping of the events. We have been lucky to have David Heron and Andrew Willis doing these jobs for us. As you can imagine a great deal of time and research goes into these positions. We thank them both for time and effort that they put into the handicapping. On carnival days we assist the clubs with many officials. These include stewards, starters, entry confirmation officials and photo finish. Phil Clayton from the North West Athletic Club and his team of officials travel the State doing the timing for all the Carnivals. This assists the clubs greatly not having to supply judges for the track races. We are grateful to the NWAC for their continued support of the League and look forward to working with them for many more seasons to come.

15

Brian Paine has been the race caller for the athletics at the carnivals for many seasons. He not only keeps the paying public well informed of the changes that happen during the day but also keeps the athletes up to date with any changes to the event times if the programme is running ahead or behind time. I would like to thank our Patron’s Alan Waddle OAM and Bevan Hutton for their continued support. To the remainder of the League Council and the Runners and Trainers Representatives thank you all for your work during the season. To all our Award Winners this season I congratulate you all on the excellent results that you achieved. In closing I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in running the carnival series and wish you all a very successful 2012 – 2013 season.

Sandra Davison PRESIDENT

TRACK AND FIELD REPORT 2011-2012

The 2011/12 season was one of Tasmania’s best in recent years. To start things off, Ryan Foster broke the long standing Tasmanian 1500 m record on 1 July in Vancouver, which had been held by Randal Markey since 1976, running 3.39.57. International level careers commenced for Kaitlin Morgan and Danni McConnell who represented Australia at the World Youth Championships in France. McConnell threw the Hammer 53.21m to miss the final by one place, while Morgan cleared 1.67 m in the High Jump to place tenth in her qualification pool. Tristan Thomas overcame a run of recent injuries to make the Australian World Championships team in the 4 x 400 m in Daegu, South Korea, running a fantastic second leg as part of the team that finished fifth in their heat and tenth overall, just failing to advance to the final. The Commonwealth Youth Games were held in the Isle of Man in September and saw three Tasmanians compete, Max Waldron at 400 m (fifth-49.05), Mikayla Genge, bronze in the hammer (51.49 m); while Abbey De La Motte was unfortunately disqualified for running out of her lane in the 400m. Back on home soil, the school season saw the usual plethora of events, with the Schools Knockout events again drawing high participation levels across the state. The Tasmanian All Schools saw a hugely talented team get selected for the Australian All Schools Championships in Brisbane. Athletes of the Meet at the Tasmanian All Schools were awarded to TIS athletes Danni McConnell (hammer) and Jake Birtwhistle (1500m) after their fine performances on day 1. The Australian All Schools T&F Championships at the UQ Track in Brisbane in December saw six Tasmanians win gold medals throughout the meet. On day one, Abbey de La Motte lead the charge (U18 400 m in a 2012 World Junior Championships qualifier), Danni McConnell lead a clean sweep of Tasmanian medallists in winning the under 18 girl’s hammer with a massive heave of 66.89m with the new 3kg implement as Mikalya Genge (aged 15) was second and Rebecca Direen third. 13 year old Russell Taib (U14 200m) won his third national title for the year. The meet delivered yet another national championship to Kaitin Morgan clearing 1.83m in the U18 high jump and a breakthrough victory for Hugh Nicklason in the U16 1500 metres in a time of 4.04.94. Taib was the star performer for Tasmania on the second and final day winning his second gold medal, this time in the U14 100m in a wind assisted time of 11.41. Later in December, a quartet consisting of Ben Robinson, Biniyam Hagos, Kale Adams and Nicklason set a new record of 17:05.35 sec for the Australian U16 4 x 1500m relay in Launceston. The Briggs Athletics Classic returned to a Saturday evening timeslot under favourable weather conditions in February and saw standout performances from Collis Birmingham winning from a quality field in 13:15.57, while Lauren Boden scorched the 400m hurdles in 56.07, both setting Tasmanian All-comers records. In the field events, big USA shot putter, Russ Winger heaved the 7.26 kg ball to 20.06 m while Henry Frayne jumped 16.90m into a headwind to miss his meet record from 2011 by just 1 cm. The Australian Junior Championships in Sydney in March saw six Tasmanians win a total of ten gold medals, matching the gold medal haul from 12 months earlier. Hagos lead the charge with a treble of national titles, winning the U16 1500m, 3000m and 2000m steeplechase. McConnell won the U20 hammer, Genge the U18 hammer, Claudia Nicklason both the U16 400m and 800m; while Jacob Birtwhistle doubled in the U18 1500m 3000m and Hugh Nicklason won the U17 1500m. Following the Australian Junior Championships, five Tasmanian’s were selected in the Australian 2012 World Junior Team, Waldron 4x400m; de la Motte (400m and 4 x 400m); Genge (Hammer Throw); McConnell (Hammer Throw) and Morgan (High Jump).

16

The local season culminated in the IGA Tasmanian State Track and Field Championships which saw Kaitlin Morgan and Hamish Peacock win athletes of the meet for outstanding individual performances. Other outstanding results were sprint doubles to Morgan Gaffney (NW) and new talent Ross Lovell (NL) as well as distance doubles to James Hanson and Melanie Daniels. Additional senior state records to fall over the 2011/12 season were set in the javelin (Hamish Peacock), and hammer (Danni McConnell) while McConnell set a new Australian Under 18 3 kg hammer record with a heave of 67.69m in October. In March, Ryan Foster made his international debut in Green and Gold colours running the 1500 m at the World Indoor Championships, in Istanbul, Turkey, where he ran 3:46.26 to place tenth in his heat. The new concept tri-meet statewide interclub series saw meets held in Penguin, Launceston and Hobart and at the completion of meets Eastern Suburbs were the successful club in winning the Blake Shield for combined points score.

Brendan Hanigan TRACK AND FIELD COMMISSIONER

STATE PERFORMANCE REPORT 2011-2012 The Tasmanian Institute of Sport awarded nine scholarships for 2011/12 - to Tristan Thomas (400mH,4 x 400m), Ryan Foster (1500m), Hamish Peacock (Javelin), Huw Peacock (Hammer), Danni McConnell (Hammer), Kaitlin Morgan (High Jump), Jacob Birtwhistle (Distance), Max Waldron (400m), Mikayla Genge (Hammer). The TIS program was pleased with the progress made by most scholarship holders and noted the improvement in both quality and quantity of young athletes moving into national and international classes. The Team ATIS development group, despite tougher standards, increased its numbers and many excellent performances were recorded throughout the year. Among many highlights for the program we saw international representation for Danni McConnell and Kaitlin Morgan at the World Youth Championships in Lille and Max Waldron and Mikayla Genge at the Commonwealth Youth Games at the Isle of Man. At this year’s Australian Junior Championships in March, five Tasmanians qualified for selection for the 2012 World Junior Championships in Barcelona. The afore-mentioned four athletes were joined by Abbey de la Motte in the team. The Australian All Schools Championships saw many fine performances from Tasmanian athletes. Danni McConnell laid a good claim for the inaugural Australian record for the women’s under 18(3kg) hammer with a 68+metre throw to win from Mikki Genge. Kaitlin Morgan won the high jump with 1.83m, and Jake Birtwhistle continued his unbeaten run in distance events. The Australian Athletics Tour meets in January and February saw Hamish and Huw Peacock recording strong performances with Hamish winning in Perth and Brisbane. They both also did well at the Olympic Trials with Hamish finishing fourth and Huw finishing third. Unfortunately, Ryan Foster hampered by illness, nevertheless ran well but did not place in the 1500m. He was selected, however, in the Australian Team for the World Indoor Championships. Danni, Mikki, and Max gained very worthwhile experience by competing at the Trials. At the Australian Junior Championships in Sydney in March, Tasmania had some great performances with several young athletes stepping up and pressing for TIS scholarships. As mentioned five athletes gained selection with top performances and were very well supported by young athletes such as Hugh and Claudia Nicklason and Bini Hagos amongst many outstanding efforts. Records numbers of young Tasmanians have since been included in various national youth and junior squads. Todd Hodgetts, after receiving a classification as an AWD athlete, then set World records for the F20 shot put and gained nomination for the 2012 Paralympics and subsequently was offered a scholarship with TIS. All scholarship holders participated in the services offered by TIS especially in strength and conditioning assistance and Athlete Career and Education Services (ACE). The TIS, AT, and the ATFCA (Tas Branch) continued their close relationship with involvement in a number of events. Hammerfest again was a great success and we worked together with Athletics Australia on several national camps and Tasmanian team events.

ATHLETES’ COMMISSIONER’S REPORT 2011-2012 In 2011-12 Tasmania’s athletes picked up from where they left 2010-11, again producing strong showings at both a national and international level. This continues the rejuvenation of the sport in terms of performance, with Tasmania seemingly coming out of a lean period and looking favourably towards a bright future. Tasmania’s junior athletes again led the way, at the All Schools Championships in Brisbane in December and the Australian Junior Championships in March in Sydney. Both of these Championships fielded quality Teams, with outstanding performances scattered amongst several personal bests. Just as importantly as the performances, however, was Tasmania’s incredible commitment to the spirit of the sport and sportsmanship, which was once again second to none. Rosemary Coleman has certainly bred a fantastic, positive junior nationals’ culture of support and recognition, and is to be commended. The 2012 Open National Championships for the period of this report, saw another strong contingent of mainly U25 athletes venture over the Strait to go up against Australia’s finest. All of these athletes competed with fantastic spirit and tenacity, and will hopefully continue to develop and go on to bigger and better things! The State Championships for 2011-12 were again run without a hitch thanks to our expert, tireless and committed officials, without whom we would have no competition and no means of achieving what we do! On behalf of all athletes, may I say thank you for another successful and well-run season, at all levels of competition. We cannot thank you enough for the countless hours you all put in, and no matter how small the help at a site or event, it all counts and we appreciate it immensely! Athletes have had many chances to become further involved with the sport throughout the 2011-12 season, also, with coaching and officiating courses being run at various stages of the period. I note that currently-competing athletes made up significant numbers within these courses, and I would encourage more of this. One of the most rewarding aspects of this sport is the level of opportunity one has to give a little bit back, and it is through undertaking these courses that athletes are able to do just that! Therefore another very successful season from the athlete’s perspective. Let’s keep the ball rolling, and continue building upon the foundations which have seen the athletes and the sport reap rewards in 2011-12!

OUT OF STADIUM REPORT 2011-12

The Tasmanian Short Course Cross Country was the first event of the season and was held on the last weekend in April 2011 at the Queens Domain over the 4km distance. A large field of over 200 competed in the men’s and women’s events, which were again held in conjunction with the AS interclub. Medals were awarded in the Open age group, which was won by Grant Page and Melanie Daniels. The ATIS distance running camp was conducted in Coles Bay in June and was well attended. This provides an opportunity for distance athletes both young and old to train together and share ideas. The growing reputation of the Launceston Ten as the fastest 10km road race in Australia made for a great event in 2011, which also included the Tasmanian 10km Road Championships. This move proved to be a good one, as the Tasmanians faced stiff competition from interstate athletes, which resulted in some fast times across all age groups. Both the IGA Tasmanian Primary and Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships were held in cold and wintery conditions at Symmons Plains. The combined events were again the largest cross country event held in Australia. Due to very heavy rains prior to the events, the start was moved to avoid a hazardous creek crossing, which resulted in a slightly shorter course but some very muddy participants at the finish line. These events continue to grow in both depth and participation and are well supported by schools from all regions. The best athletes from these events represented Tasmania in Canberra at the Athletics Australia Cross Country Championship and Schools Sports events, with some great results. The stand out performers of these events were Getasew Ferguson who won the 12 year old boys and Jacob Birtwhistle, who was fifth in the U18 age group and first in the time trial event two days later. He was subsequently selected to compete in the World School Cross Country Championships in Malta, where he went onto win the World Schools Championship Title. The Tasmanian Cross Country Championships were again conducted at Pontville and with the incorporation of a few of the equestrian jumps at the venue, this course proved to be a little more challenging than previous years. The Championship was conducted over distances ranging from 2km to 12km and ages from U12 through to Masters. Mountain Running came to trails of Mt. Wellington in October 2011 for the Tasmanian Championships once again held in conjunction with the Endorfun trail series. Jordan Harries claimed victory after returning earlier in the year from the World Mountain Running Championships. The 2012 Cadbury Marathon and Half Marathon, saw fields more than double and with the introduction of the Running Edge 5km fun run around the scenic Claremont Golf Course, participation was very much the flavour of the day. This event once again doubled as the Tasmanian Open and Australian Masters Championship. The hottest day of the summer hosted the 2012 IAAF Race Walking Challenge on the spectacular Salamanca precinct, which incorporated the Olympic Trials for the London Games. The heat proved challenging for many competitors, regardless of the conditions there were several world class performances on display. The Tasmanian Short Course road titles were again held in conjunction with Run Devonport, however the March timeslot for this event, saw poor fields in the Championship events as athletes focused on State and National track events. The 2011/12 season saw some fantastic results, with many distance athletes carrying their good form from Out of Stadium events onto the track. To encourage participation and create competitive fields for all age groups, Athletics Tasmania continues to successfully conduct Championship events in conjunction with community based events and will look for further opportunities in 2012/13.

RACE WALKING TASMANIA REPORT 2011-2012 Race Walking Tasmania formally acknowledges the passing of Tasmania’s most influential walking personality on 22 May 2011. Albert’s love of Race walking inspired many walkers throughout Britain, the Isle of Man and Tasmania, but his legacy will continue. . “YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET” - Albert Johnson

The 2011 winter season was once again a successful season for the club, which saw the continuing success of all our athletes. Our retention remains 100% and we have managed to also gain a few new members. We hope to further our increase in numbers in the future. The numbers of those walking within the North have been steady, and we are beginning to see the rewards of having coaches in the North prepared to assist with any walkers that are interested and I would like to formally thank Michelle Heron and David Taylor for assisting us in that way. More walks officials are becoming qualified through the efforts of Wayne Fletcher which is pleasing. Congratulations to Wayne for all his IAAF appointments in international race walking.

22

Thanks also to our coaches who are held in high regard by members of the Australian Federation of Race Walking, for our standard of walkers within the State. I thank Owen Hunt for his support of me in this role. Once again we are greatly indebted to Daniel Coleman and Stephanie Stigwood for their continuing mentoring and assistance of all our walkers. Our walkers continue impress in competition and I can scarcely write this report without mentioning our success at the Australian Federation Lake Burley meet where we took the handicap awards from the other States, showing the massive improvement in all our walkers. The team consisting of Sophie Eberhardt, Tahlia Hunt, Mitchell Walker, Megan Guy, Sarah Guy, Kirrily Garwood, Jemma Smith and Arrabella Phillips took no less than four first placings on handicap, one second and or very first Tasmanian teams placing in receiving the silver. I am so proud of the achievements of these young athletes, and we need to foster this love of a great sport. Another great achievement was the fourth placing nationally in the postal vote, based on a one day competition throughout the nation. The Australian Road Walking Championships saw no less than seven top eight performances with Tahlia Hunt U14 winning the bronze, Getasew Ferguson also winning bronze and Louis Rose just missing a bronze by one second in the U16 age group (noting that Louis was the youngest in the field). Race Walking Tasmania looks forward to another positive and rewarding year in the future and trusts that we will continue to grow stronger throughout our endeavours.

AT & FCA (TASMANIAN BRANCH) REPORT 2011

1. LIST OF OFFICERS: PRESIDENT - Evan Peacock; VICE PRESIDENT - Peter McDonald; SECRETARY -Wayne Mason; TREASURER - Jy Webb; COMMITTEE: Kevin Alomes; Darrel Harington (Course Coordinator & National Delegate); Damian Lawler; Mike Gunson; Rex Morriss; Debbie Jankata; EX OFFICIO: Peter Fortune (TIS T&F State Performance Coordinator) 2. MEMBERSHIP: Branch membership at December 31 2011 was 41 (48 at December 31 last year). 3. COACHING COURSES: A delay in the formalisation of the partnership between AT and ATFCA (Tas Branch) for course delivery in the State meant there was only limited course activity during 2011. With the MOU now finalised Beginning Coach (L1) Courses were offered late in the year and L2 courses are being planned for early 2012. A successful L2 presenters and assessors workshop was conducted in June with approximately 12 participants. Darrel Harington continues to be the leading light in coach education on behalf of the Branch. His contribution to ATFCA in this regard is significant. Introduction to Coaching Courses: No courses were held during this year. Level I and II Coaching Courses: L1 courses under the new coaching framework were successfully conducted with 14 candidates in Hobart and 15 in Launceston. Darrel was ably assisted in the presentation of these courses by Debbie Jankata. Wim Vaessen and Wayne Hall attended the Launceston course as observers with a view to their possible coordination of future courses in the North. No L2 courses were offered in 2011. 4. MEETINGS: The AGM was held at the Black Buffalo Hotel on March 26, 2011 with only 10 people in attendance. Branch Committee Meetings were held on January 27, February 24, April 28, May 26, June 30, August 24, September 28, October 26 and November 23. The Secretary has represented the Branch at the monthly Board meetings of Athletics South. The Secretary has also been the Branch delegate to the AT Board meetings and the President has been a member of the AT T&F Commission. The Secretary also attended a National meeting of State secretaries on the Gold Coast in November. 5. COACH EDUCATION/ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT: Around 25 of Tasmania’s young athletes attended a training/competition camp at St Helens in January. These athletes represented all disciplines and competed at the St Helens Carnival before enjoying two days of training and education sessions. Activities included track and beach running, pathway discussions and media training. The camp was the initiative of AT and the TIS. The week of the 2011 Briggs Athletics Classic saw many of Australia’s leading athletes and coaches come to Hobart to participate in activities in events targeted by AA as part of its High Performance Plan.

23

Activities included a National 4x100m Relay Camp with 26 of Australia’s best young sprinters, a 400m Hurdles Development Camp, an U21 National Camp, the annual Hammerfest and the IAAF Race Walking Challenge. The 2011 Hammerfest was very pleased to welcome arguably the 4 most influential male throwers in Australian hammer throwing. Gus Puopulo, Peter Farmer, Sean Carlin, and Stuart Rendell attended to impart their knowledge and inspiration to the current group of throwers and their coaches. Leading Australian coach, Ernie Shankleton led several prominent national level coaches in providing technical analysis and advice. Team ATIS was announced in late May. Team ATIS is the AT/TISport Development Squad and comprises 37 emerging and elite junior athletes. The key purpose is to identify and assist in developing talented, emerging athletes aged 13-19 years of age, with the potential and motivation to attain national representative standards. It is envisaged that this group will be a major focus of track and field development in Tasmania. Distance Camp - the distance running members of Team ATIS had their first development opportunity with a three night training camp at Coles Bay. In total 22 athletes took part in several running sessions with recovery dips in the cool, pristine waters of Great Oyster Bay. Discussion topics included pathways in athletics, recovery, and week to week training while the practical sessions also included improving core strength. A “Power Camp” was held in Hobart in September with 21 athletes attending. The athletes were accommodated over three nights in the Function Centre at the DAC and participated in practical sessions as well as a number of presentations and discussion groups. Coaches and presenters included Damian Lawler, Scott Goldsmith and Darren Alomes and Brisbane coach, Stuart Dempster. TIS staff Ben Scarlett and Calvin Philp also contributed. Japan hammer trip - Huw Peacock, Danni McConnell, and Mikki Genge travelled to Japan in September with their coach Evan Peacock. The original plan was to train with World Champion, Koji Mirofushi and his squad however Koji was still involved with commitments in Europe following his victory in the World Championships. Despite his absence the visit was worthwhile with some valuable experience gained. 6. GENERAL: We were saddened with the passing of coaching stalwart Albert Johnson during the year. Branch membership dropped from 48 in 2010 to 41 in 2011. This followed a drop from 61 members in 2009. Nationwide there has been a reduction in ATFCA membership of approximately 600. A meeting of State secretaries was conducted in November at which the main agenda topic was how best to position ATFCA to ensure viability into the future. The key responsibility of ATFCA is seen as coach advocacy. Modern Athlete and Coach and the Congress also remain as cornerstones. A number of strategies have been developed and have been reported elsewhere. Coaches are encouraged to maintain their ATFCA membership as their representative body and receive the many benefits including, receiving the publications – Modern Athlete and Coach, and the ATFCA Newsletters, access to the National Coaching Congress and other seminars and workshops; discounted coaching resources and more. Three coaches were recognised at the AT AGM conducted on 30 July. Evan Peacock was again named the State’s leading coach with the Max Cherry Memorial Coach of the Year Award, Fay Denholm was recognised for her many years of outstanding contribution with the Service to Coaching Award and Rosemary Coleman received the Emerging Coach Award. During the year two coaching stalwarts in the north of the State, Fay Denholm and Wayne Holt announced their retirement from coaching. Their contribution to athletics and coaching in particular, in this State has been outstanding. Good relations and good communication have been maintained with National Office and we thank Glynis for her dedication and ready assistance. Communications to members have generally taken the form of emails forwarded to the relative event groups with emails of general interest forwarded to all members. Some mail-outs have been made to coaches not on the internet. Items have again been provided for the quarterly ATFCA NEWS. One of the key outcomes from the 2011 AGM was a decision to improve communications within the Branch by extending the distribution of the minutes of each Committee meeting to all members. This improved the information flow to members as the minutes also include reports from the Branch delegate to both the AT and the AS Board meetings. With the State Performance Manager, Peter Fortune also an ex-officio member of the Committee, ATFCA members within the State were kept well abreast of key decisions affecting the sport.
