2005 Annual General Meeting


Treasurer's Report


The Association’s accounts show a healthy surplus of $6,295.35 for 2004.

Main points to note:

  • Slight drop in tournament income due to the entry numbers being in the singles and doubles being down on 2003.

  • The Trans Tasman shows a loss of $1,810.74. However PNZ did agree to contribute $1000 to the cost of holding this event. Therefore the amount lost was comparable to 2003.

  • The World Championships basically broke even.

  • The number of affiliated clubs increased from 43 to 46.

  • The number of affiliated members increased from 1164 to 1231 and therefore an increase in subscriptions. Note that the figure shown for the 2003 subscriptions included magazine subscriptions.

  • A decrease in expenses of 38%.

  • The costs of holding Council and Executive meetings decreased by 29%.

Sponsorship

Our major sponsor, the New Zealand Peugeot agents Sime Darby Automobiles NZ Ltd, continued their financial support of the Association. On behalf of the PNZ I would like to thank the Sime Darby Automobiles NZ Ltd for their support.

In the last financial year PNZ received $3,000 of the $6,000 SPARC funding. Subsequently in February of this year we received the remaining $3,000 plus the 2005 funding of $6,000. Note: SPARC has classifies petanque as a ‘developing’ sport.

 

Community and Charity Gaming Association Trusts

I would like to thank the following Trusts who made grants to PNZ for:

  • Trans Tasman: Unison Trust

  • World Championships: Unison Trust, The Southern Trust, The Lion Foundation, Pub Charity, New Zealand Community Trust

Donations and other grants

The funding of the team to the World Championships would not have been possible without the donations from clubs and individuals (including the team members). One very pleasant surprise last year was a grant of $3,000 from the Minister of Sport for the World Championships team. On behalf of PNZ I would like to thank the various clubs, individuals and the Minister of Sport for their support
