It is with delight that I present my second report as President of Club
Ashfield. It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Club has
recorded its best ever result. For further details on the figures and
the increases please refer to the Finance Director’s Report.
This year’s Annual Mass and Luncheon was also a great success,
the feedback was very positive. It was good to see our members and
guests enjoy the day and to meet the recipients of our Club Grants.
The Club was able to donate approximately $110,000 in donations.
I encourage you to take the time to view the list of recipients of
the club grants found elsewhere in the report. I would like to thank
Bishop Brady for attending the function and his kind words.
This year has been another great year for Club Ashfield and some of
the highlights have been:
•Massive Scooter Promotion in which we gave away two scooters
in July to the value of $5,000. It was a fantastic and exciting day
for the Club and we hope to feature many more promotions in the
coming year.
•This time last year we commenced our renovations which
included making 11 Charlotte Street part of the main club
premises. The renovations have transformed many areas of the
Club. Proving most popular is the new TAB and kids area and the
recently completed outdoor area.
I would like to thank the 7 sub clubs for their participation in the
last twelve months. It was with regret that the mixed indoor bowls
was disbanded on 30/6/2014 due to decrease in membership. The
remaining 6 sub clubs are always looking for new members, so if
anyone is interested please contact the club for further information.
We have also seen a change in the catering, our new caterers are
VIBO under the management of GOV. We look forward to working
together to provide members and guests with first class dining
and functions and function facilities.
I would like to thank my fellow directors and our administration staff
under the guidance of Robert Cassano and assisted by Vincent Di
Maio, Irene Giorgianni, Marc Cuiuli and the staff associated with the
Club’s operations.
On behalf of the Board, myself and all associated with the Club,
I wish everyone a happy, holy and joyous Christmas and a
prosperous 2015.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT
Welcome to the 51st Annual Report of the Ashfield Catholic and
Community Club Ltd, trading as Club Ashfield. The report reflects a
significant year for the Club in terms of growth and working towards
delivering the Club’s strategic long term goals. This year’s operating
activity levels have been the highest experienced by the Club to date
and with the continued support of the Board, Staff and Members,
we have moved through this period of high activity with a rewarding
outcome.
An integral part of our 5-year strategy plan was to renovate the Club
in stages. The Club has now completed stage 3 of the master plan,
greatly investing into structural changes and improvements on the
ground level and level 1. On the ground level, there has been the
development of the new TAB area, a relaxing outdoor area that is set
with a backdrop of sandstone features and water fountains and new
bathroom facilities. There have also been substantial renovations to
Level 1 with the addition of a brand new kid’s area which caters for
children up to 12 years. The area includes a play gym, PlayStation
games, Xbox games and soft flooring for younger children. The
Club has also revamped the Function rooms, with the addition of a
new board room with state - of- the - art facilities, and the creation
of another function room which can cater for special occasions.
Amanda O’Grady our Functions Manager has also been liaising with
our caterers to develop exceptional packages for weddings, special
occasions and corporate events.
In addition to the structural renovations, there have been significant
changes to Club Ashfield’s dining and Café as part of our overall
strategy plan. With the introduction of VIBO Bistro, a new catering
company providing authentic Italian food and flavours from Southern
Italy to the residents of Ashfield. The new Bistro includes a delicious
menu of $9 Lunch Specials from Monday to Saturday; selection of
pizzas and our scrumptious a la carte menu. Café on Charlotte is
also continuing to go from strength to strength, with the recognition
of another Inner West Finalist Award, third year running. The Café is
also thriving with the introduction of catering, serving the council and
local businesses in the area. Offering a delicious selection of wood
fired sourdough sandwiches, Turkish bread and tortilla wrap varieties
with tantalising filings. As well as fruit platters and sweet platters that
are always served fresh.
In conjunction with the improvements and modifications to VIBO
Bistro and the Café, the Clubs’ Entertainment line-up has also seen
some changes to its Friday and Saturday evenings. There will be
an introduction of new acts taking the stage in the coming months,
including Black Pearl a four piece all girl outfit from Sydney coming
together to perform and sing all the latest hits in their unique and
exciting acoustic style. Alternating on guitar and percussion, the
four girls take turns in lead vocals and harmonising, keeping the

songs and the performance exciting and interactive. As well as
Gareth Jay, a versatile Sydney based musician renowned for his
composition and live performance, creating complex sound scores
for recordings, performance, film and theatre works. Jono, Loz &
Den and Snez will also be part of the new entertainment line-up.
Promotions are also diversifying to satisfy members’ requests. With
the introduction of Mahjong on Wednesday evenings from 7.30pm,
this strategic game of skill attracts close to 40 people every week.
Each person is playing for a $500 prize pool each week, and Cash
over $10,000 at the end of the tournament via Australian Mahjong
League. We are also continuing with our fantastic raffle promotions
on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Our raffles include
meat trays, seafood trays and Woolworth’s vouchers worth
thousands of dollars each week. Other great Club promotions include
Monday Members Cash Draws, Bingo and Trivia on Wednesdays.
In closing, I would like to sincerely thank the Board of Directors,
Chief Operating Officer Vincent Di Maio, Chief Finance Officer Irene
Giorgianni, Finance Administration Assistant Rebecca Tofalakis,
Assistant Operations Marc Cuiuli, Functions Manager Amanda
O’Grady and all the fantastic staff that make up our team at Club
Ashfield. I would also like to warmly welcome and thank Tijen Salis
who has joined the Club as our Marketing Manager. Her contribution
to the Club to date has been exceptional. In addition, a special
thanks to the team at Café on Charlotte and our Club Duty Managers.
But most importantly, I would like to thank our Members, the people
that make our friendly and inclusive Club a truly fantastic community
venue.

FINANCE DIRECTOR’S REPORT
DARTS CLUB
It is with pleasure that I present to you our Financial Report for the
year ending 30th June 2014. This is my second annual report in my
capacity as Finance Director of Club Ashfield.
The overall result for the year was a net profit before tax of $613,711
which is well above last year’s result of $446,816. Total revenue
increased by $529,151 from $5,388,917 to $5,918,068.
Our “Cafe On Charlotte” was again nominated for the Inner West
Small Business Awards and the cafe now maintains a consistent
revenue for our Club. The cafe continues to grow and improve on
a weekly basis and it has built a regular clientele for its outside
catering services.
We have completed our current stage of renovations with the new
toilets, TAB area, lift, administration offices, board room, outdoor
area, bistro extension and children’s amusement centre. I am
sure that our members will benefit from these improvements and I
congratulate Management for a job well done!
Below is a comparison of net profit figures for all major trading areas
of the club.

Golf Club
As a sub-club of our “parent”, Club Ashfield, we are bound by the
laws and regulations governing the operation of an “Association”.
We accept the definition of an association as a group of persons,
having common views, associated or organised for a common end.
The main feature of an association is that it is meant for a definite
purpose and objectives, which are realised through the co-operative
efforts of its members.
The ‘purpose’ of our golf club is to provide quality value-based
golfing opportunities for our members.
The ‘objectives’ are:
• Player motivation and satisfaction
•range of events – interesting, varied and challenging for all
levels

good golf and, from what we’ve heard back, even better après golf. A
similar event will be arranged again for March 2015, and we’re also
looking to introduce some ‘one-off’ additional games throughout the
year.
Our regular competition is held monthly from February to November,
inclusive, operating as a ‘gender-neutral’ club, catering for all levels
of golfer. A fixture sheet of the scheduled events is provided to
members at the last game of the year, and we are looking to get it
published on the Club Ashfield website. At each event, except the
Club Championships in October, and if there is a team event e.g.
Ambrose, the following categories will apply: Men’s Singles, Ladies’
Singles and Medley 2BBB. There is also a nearest the pin (NTP) and/

Our Association is owned by the members, and managed on their
behalf through a committee of elected members. In a way we are
running a business, albeit a very small and not-for-profit business,
a business just the same, and although we all perform our duties as
committee members in a voluntary mode, to those who monitor our
performance against legislation and societal obligations, expect our
adherence and cooperation without excuses.
As a management committee of the Club Ashfield Golf Club, we are
accountable to the members, and in executing our obligations, there
should be no compromise.
In the past twelve months we have enjoyed reasonable success,
with our average attendances around 22. The courses played during
those 12 months are: Boomerang, Jamberoo, Calderwood Valley,
Massey Park, Rosnay, Georges River, Dunheved, Woodville, Bowral

Fishing Club
Well another year has passed and we are still Wishing [fishing]
up the Hawkesbury River. The catches have had good and bad
months, but diehard FISHOES still soldier on. Our completion for
a CHAMPION, men’s and ladies, as well as, for biggest fish of
the year, were close finishes .The end results were such that the
CHAMPIONSHIP was a tie between Daniel Kumer and Joe Fin
sharing the comp. The ladies was taken out by Laura Fulham, last
but not forgotten, the biggest fish won by Bob Fulham.
We would like to thank the Parent Club for allowing us to hold two
raffles, and all the club members who buy tickets. This does help
pay for the hire of the boats and bus for which we are grateful.
It would be amiss not to thank the loyalty of all those who brave
the elements to take to the water in all-weather [hot, cold, wet] and
either come home with fish, or a very good story about the one that
got away.
I would like to personally thank my committee for all their help; Anna
[sec/treasurer], Daniel [driver], Ross and Bob committee members.
At $40 an outing we would like to see more club members take up
the game.

Indoor Bowls
The Indoor Bowls Club would like to thank all our past team
members that have contributed to our enjoyable membership over
the last 20 years.
Unfortunately, over the last 12 months players have been leaving and
numbers have reduced. For this reason we are sad to announce that
the team has decided to shut the doors and close the Indoor Bowls
Club.
On Tuesday 24th June 2014 the last game of bowls was played.
On Tuesday 1st July 2014, we had our last ever get together to
celebrate our history, joys and past experiences as a Club. It was a
wonderful night and we are all sorry to say goodbye to the Indoor
Bowls Club.
