Message from President - Upcoming Forum

Hi everyone

OANSW is holding a forum for club presidents to discuss various topics of interest to the Association. I will I be attending this forum, representing Uringa, which will take place towards the end October. Any proposed changes are then being taken to the November OANSW Board meeting for discussion and consideration.

Below are the topics that the OANSW board have under consideration for discussion:

1) NSW Annual Calendar
- Structure of events
- Process for establishing the calendar
- Timing for commencement and finalisation of the calendar(s)
(2) An Event Series Coordinator and reciprocal person from each club Proposal
(3) Club Membership Map Proposal
(4) Standardisation of Membership Fees
(5) Association Equipment / Club Equipment – what is needed or wanted?
(6) SportIdent
- Unit Numbering/Rationalisation
- Software for the future
- Options
(7) Association Manual Update
- What requests do clubs have
(8) Marketing Review
- 2011 Changes – Good, Bad? Improvements?
- Ongoing Publicity – where, when?
(9) ONSW Administration
- 2011 arrangements – Good, Bad, Problems, improvements?
(10)Event Results Publication
- Who, where, when, format,
- Conflicting formats, conflicting requirements (ASC, DSR, OA.......)
(11)Schools Development
- The future? Is there one? Club ideas and feedback desired
(12)Clubs Wants/Desires/Needs
(13) Easter 2014, Aus Champs 2017
(14)Any Other Business

I understand that a couple of the points are not very clear and will require clarification at the actual forum, but perhaps you have an opinion on a particular point/topic. If you would like to comment on any of the above topics or if you would like to raise a concern, have a query or any other type of input, can you please let me know by 20 October. Thanks for your contribution.

Cheers Linda
