The Association’s accounts show
a healthy surplus of $7,000.15
for 2005.
Trans Tasman
The 2005 Trans Tasman incurred a
loss of $1,188.90. However PNZ
had agreed to contribute $1,000
towards the costs. With the
Trans Tasman being held in
Australia we received a $4,000
grant towards the team’s
airfares from the Lion
Foundation. We also received a
$1,000 grant towards the team’s
uniforms from the Unison Trust.
World Championships
Last year there was a reduction
in:
-
club and individual
donations from $11,364
(2004) to $6,287 (2005)
-
gaming and community trust
grants from $18,562 (2004)
to $3,500 (2005)
This reduction in income meant
that individual team members had
to contribute to make up the
shortfall. However because PNZ
paid the cost of the delegate’s
airfares, accommodation and
travel expenses to the F.I.P.J.P.
meeting and the team uniforms,
we incurred a loss of $5,452.29.
The PNZ Council has voted not to
send a delegate to the 2006
meeting of the F.I.P.J.P.
Oceania Championships
A small surplus of $354.67 was
made on the Oceania
Championships. However without
the last minute grants from the
New Zealand Community Trust and
the Southern Trust we would have
made a loss of several thousand
dollars.
Magazine
Last year saw the resurrection
of the PNZ magazine. The
decision has clearly proved to
be popular as both club and
individual subscriptions are
trickling in at a steady rate. A
significant amount of income has
been generated from selling
advertising space in the
magazine.
Membership
The number of affiliated clubs
stands at 44 (43 in 2004). The
number affiliated members
increased from 1231 to 1278.
Grants & Sponsorship
Our major sponsor, the New
Zealand Peugeot agents Sime
Darby Automobiles NZ Ltd,
continued their financial
support of PNZ. On behalf of the
PNZ I would like to thank Sime
Darby Automobiles NZ Ltd for
their support.
Sport and Recreation New Zealand
(SPARC)
In the last financial year PNZ
received a total of $11,000 from
SPARC made up of:
-
$3,000, 2nd instalment for
2004
-
$6,000, 2005 grant
-
$2,000 for winning the
Oceania Championship
-
PNZ’s
current investment Agreement
with SPARC for $6,000 p.a.
expired at the end of
December 2005 and is thus
due to be re-negotiated.
Community and Charity Gaming
Association Trusts
I would like to thank the

-
Trans Tasman Challenge:

Oceania Player Levy Dispute
The dispute over payment of
player levies for the 2005
Oceania Championships was
resolved through legal channels,
after the players challenged,
through lawyers, the process by
which PNZ imposed penalties in
respect of the dispute. This
cost PNZ $2,926.32 (refer Income
and Expenditure Details, General
Expenses).
