PRESIDENTS REPORT
Dear Members,
On behalf of the board of director’s I am pleased to submit the annual report for Northmead Bowling
Recreation and Sporting Club Limited for the year ending 30 June 2015.
I would like firstly to acknowledge the efforts of our management and staff who have worked tirelessly to
implement the boards’ strategies over the last 12 months.
Managing change is challenging at the best of times – even more so when a small business entity like ours
is moving fast to meet challenging corporate governance guidelines, change the customer experience and
make the club more relevant to all of our members. Developing a culture that embraces change ensures
we are ready to meet the competitive challenges of the future, and is one of the things we are proud of.
I am also encouraged by the positive feedback from members and guests who can readily see the changes
we have made that have given the club a real lift in enthusiasm and confidence about the future.
Our trading result is fair and consistent considering we have deliberately increased expenses in areas like
wages & salaries, member’s amenities, advertising and consulting fees. We were and still are, very
confident that these increased costs were relevant and essential for the strategies we are implementing
and will prove a significant investment in the long term.
Revenue is up by 9.25% compared to last year and our operating profit is $319,991 before interest and
depreciation. Our treasurer James Brown will have more to say about these results in his report and our
capital works master plan is being rolled out which our GM Keith Smith will expand on in his report.
I regret that our initial endeavour to improve the catering experience with Zest Grill did not meet members
expectations but I’m delighted that Con Koutroumbas and his Maze Group team has joined us and I’m sure
members and guests are now enjoying some fabulous meals and dining experiences.
Our re-branding and marketing campaign is resonating with members and the local community that is a
driving force behind the new direction we have taken to substantially improve our identity and grow
membership. I would also like to acknowledge the hard work of Chris Hekeik and his team at Mode Media.
Our information forums provide a valuable opportunity for members to hear from directors and
management about progress on our strategic plans and these will continue in 2016-2017.
Congratulations to all our men and lady bowlers for your individual and team successes and endeavours
over last season and a big thank you to Brett Hughes, you have done a tremendous job Brett and I am sure
your enthusiasm and hard work will prove invaluable next season.
To our army of volunteers, our inter-clubs, our sponsored junior sports clubs and our members and your
guests, thank you for being part of this great club and we look forward to your continued patronage.
The club has many supporters and none more so than our generous sponsors. Your financial support
enables us to complement our great game with some generous prize-money and incentives so can I ask all
members to support these good people and their companies whenever you get the chance.
We have lost some wonderful members over the last 12 months who will be remembered dearly by their
mates and we offer our sincere condolences to you and their families. Can I also take this opportunity to
remind members that we have the Globe Memorial Stone at the face of the Arthur Groves green and
members can purchase a memorial plaque from the club and have it placed it on the stone.
Following changes to the clubs constitution approved at last year’s AGM, this year will be the first year that
a ballot will not be conducted for the election of directors. That said, the board could appoint two (2)
directors from time to time either to fill a casual vacancy or to compliment skills and knowledge required
for a particular strategy objective or task.
Clubs NSW has produced some valuable resources to assist any member considering offering their service
as a director. I encourage any member who considers himself or herself an advocate for corporate
governance, financial expertise or a vision and skill set the club can use to consider standing for a board
position.
In conclusion, can I say thank you to my fellow directors, Keith and Rod for all your hard work and
dedication to the objectives we have set. There is much more to be done but it is an exciting time and I’m
very confident 2015-2016 will be so much better.
We now look forward to another club year, I would like to wish members all the best for the rest of 2015,
and I look forward to seeing you next time you visit.
Norm Muir
Chairman.
TREASURERS REPORT
Dear Members,
I am very happy to present my third Treasurers Report for the Northmead Bowling, Recreation & Sporting
Club for the year ending 30 June 2015.
The net profit for the year is $78,150 compared to a profit of $261,815 the previous year. Last year’s profit
excluding the profit on sale of our house and land was $80,567. It is worth noting that we had a loss of
$29,039 for the first six months, and a profit of $107,189 for the second six months. Cashflow was positive,
achieving a net operating inflow of $251,530 less net outflow from investing activities of $99,348 which
resulted in cash on hand at year end of $733,836. We increased our bank borrowings and hire purchase
debt by $405,583, and spent $504,931 on various capital improvements which are clearly apparent. Since
refinancing, we have paid down bank debt by $20,267.
Our current ratio at June is 1.88, up from 1.58 in June last year showing improved liquidity and ability to
meet our short term financial obligations.
A summary of changes from last year to this year are as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
Bar trading up 10.5% to $600,455
Gaming up 7.2% to $1,132,468
Employment expenses up 11.6% to $854,881
Operating profit up 7.2% to $1,757,298
Total Equity up 39% to $5,060,081 (largely due to revaluation of land and building)
The capital expenditure program, extensive marketing and the appointment of new caterers (in January)
has helped to fuel the increase in profits in the second half of the year, as we witness an increasing number
of patrons enjoying our club’s facilities. I believe that NBC Sports club will continue to be a friendly and
successful club in the future.
James Brown
Treasurer.
GENERAL MANAGERS REPORT
Dear Members,
It gives me much pleasure to present to the members of Northmead Bowling, Recreation and Sporting Club
Limited the General Managers report for the year ended 30 June 2015. You will read within the Financial
Statements that the club has reported a profit of $78,150 for the year ended 30 June 2015. Whilst I will
leave the analysis of the financial result to James Brown in his report, I make the following comments in
relation to the financial result.
As I reported last year, the Board had made the decision to modernise, re brand and market the club to our
local community. Two distinct trading periods emerged during the year whilst the club implemented this
decision. The club made a substantial investment to achieve these goals. We experienced a few setbacks
early on in the process that resulted in the initial return on this investment being below expectation. The
club struggled to make a profit as the revenue failed to meet budget. Towards the end of the first six
months’ it was apparent that our catering offering did not match our expectations and the planned
opening of the new Café & Grill prior to Christmas was delayed.
In January the Café & Grill was finally opened with our new caterers Maze coming on board. The
introduction of Maze and their vastly improved food offering along with the completion of the club
refurbishment and the new NBC Sports Club branding had immediate effect. The club traded profitably for
five of the next six months with only June showing a small loss due to end of year adjustments. As reported
by the Treasurer the club has generated a profit of $107,189 in the last six months of the year compared
with a loss of $29,039 in the first six months. This trend has continued into the new financial year with both
July & August reporting profits.
Last year I reported on the progress of the club’s strategic plan and made comment on the eight key
strategic areas the plan focuses on. These were Financial; Membership & Community; Corporate
Governance; Leadership & Employees; Bowls Development; Catering, Function & Corporate Hospitality;
Marketing & Communication and Capital Works Masterplan. I am pleased to report that over the last
twelve months the majority of the planned initiatives have been implemented. The most pleasing aspect of
implementing these initiatives is the acceptance of the necessity for change by our members and staff.
Society is constantly changing and if we are to remain relevant, we need to change and adopt new ways in
doing business to ensure bowls continues to flourish at Northmead. Long gone are the glory days of
bowling clubs of the 50’s & 60’s and it is sad to note that another eight bowling clubs either closed their
doors or sought amalgamation partners during the last financial year.
To ensure the club is well prepared for the future the Board and Management of the club recently
undertook a two-day strategic planning session to revaluate our position and to set new strategic
objectives for the next two years. Whilst our primary objective is to consolidate our financial position, the
Board is aware that the success of Maze Café & Grill has created its own problems. We brand ourselves as
‘the family club’ but we have no suitable area for children to play safely.
The Board and Management are very aware of the urgent need to undertake a building project to better
utilise the Windsor Room, dining area, northern end of the deck, BBQ and grassed area adjacent to the
BBQ. At the time of writing this report, the Capital & Asset Management Committee is preparing concepts
to develop this area into a dining, function and entertainment precinct. It is envisaged that a DA will be
submitted to Council early next year with building works to commence thereafter. Members will be kept
informed of any development in this area.
Finally, I would like to thank and express my appreciation to President Norm and the Board of Directors, all
the staff, the bowlers, sporting club committees and the members for their support during the year. I am
always open to any comments, suggestions or criticisms for the betterment of our club so we, as a club,
can continue to work together. I look forward to a mutually rewarding year.
Keith Smith
General Manager.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015
Northmead Bowling, Recreation and Sporting Club Limited is a Not For Profit company limited by
guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 25 September 2015 by the directors of the
company.
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The directors have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the company is a non-reporting
entity because there are no users who are dependent on its general purpose financial statements. These
financial statements are therefore special purpose financial statements that have been prepared in
accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting Standards applicable to entities reporting under the
Corporations Act 2001 and the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have
determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members. Such accounting policies are consistent with
those of previous periods unless stated otherwise.
The financial statements, except for the cash flow information, have been prepared on an accruals basis
and are based on historical costs except for land and buildings that have been measured at fair value.
Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented
below and have been consistently applied unless stated otherwise. The amounts presented in the
financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the club in the preparation of
this report.
(a) Income Tax
In accordance with a letter of advice received from the Australian Taxation Office, the club is exempt from
the payment of income tax under subsection 23(g)(iii) of the Income Tax Assessment Act (1936).
Accordingly, the Directors have not provided for any income tax in the accounts.
(b) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(c) Revenue Recognition
All revenues are recognised on a Receipt basis including Membership Subscriptions.
All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax.
Statement of Accounting Policies (Continued)
(d) Borrowings
Bank loans are recorded at an amount equal to the net proceeds received less principal repayments. Short
term payments are recorded for principal amounts only, as interest is payable on maturity of the bill
facility.
(e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the value of GST. Except for, Accounts
Payable and Receivable which are recorded GST inclusive.
(f) Property
Freehold land and buildings are measured on the fair value basis, being the amount for which an asset
could be exchanged between knowledgeable willing partners in an arm’s length transaction. It is the policy
of the company to have an independent valuation every three years, with annual appraisals being made by
the directors.
The land and clubhouse were re-valued by independent valuation expert, Ben Hill of Global Valuation
Services in May 2015. This is the valuation adopted this year.
(g) Plant and Equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis less Accumulated Depreciation. The carrying amount
of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable
amount of those assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of expected net cash flows which
will be received from the assets employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have
not been discounted to present values in determining recoverable amounts.
(g1) Poker machines- Intangible assets represent twenty (20) license entitlements and the
entitlements are valued at cost. Another twenty eight (28) entitlements are allocated to the
company at no cost. The directors have reviewed the overall numbers and value of the entitlements
and determined that these are not in excess of recoverable amount.
(h) Depreciation
The depreciable amount of all fixed assets including capitalised leased assets, but excluding building and
freehold land, are depreciated on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives to the entity,
commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. The rates used for each class off asset are as
follows:
Poker Machines
20%
Furniture and Fittings
13 to 20%
Plant and Equipment
13 to 20%
Floor Coverings
20%
(i) Impairment of Assets
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication that any individual assets are
impaired. Where impairment indicators exist, recoverable amount is determined and impairment losses
are recognised in the income statement where the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.
Statement of Accounting Policies (Continued)
(j) Employee Entitlements
Provision is made for the liability for employee entitlements arising from services rendered by employees
to balance date. Employee entitlements expected to be settled within one year together with entitlements
arising from wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave will be settled after one year, have been
measured at their nominal amount.
A liability for long service leave is recognised as the value of estimated future cash outflows to be made in
respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Contributions are made to an employee superannuation fund and are charged as expenses when incurred.
(k) Going Concern Basis of Accounting
The financial report has been prepared based on current year results and director’s future projections of
the company operations. As at the report date, Current Assets exceed Current Liabilities by $421,134. In
2014, Current Liabilities exceeded Current Assets by $245,380.
(l) Accounts Receivable and Other Debtors
Accounts receivable and other debtors expected to be collected within 12 months of the end of the
reporting period are classified as current assets. All other receivables are classified as non-current assets
(m) Cash on Hand
Cash on hand equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at-call with banks.
(n) Comparative Figures
Where required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform with
changes in presentation for the current financial year.
When an entity applies an accounting policy retrospectively, makes a retrospective restatement or
reclassifies items in its financial statements, a statement of financial position as at the beginning of the
earliest comparative period must be disclosed.
(o) Accounts Payable and Other Payables
Trade and other payables represent the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period for
goods and services received by the company during the reporting period which remain unpaid. The
balance is recognised as a current liability with the amount being normally paid within 30 days of
recognition of the liability.
(p) New Australian Accounting Standards issued but not yet effective
Australian Accounting Standards that have been recently issued or amended but are not yet effective
have not been applied to the financial report.
The directors have reviewed the standards and determined that there will not have a material impact
on the Group’s financial position and performance, however increased disclosures will be required in
the Group’s financial statements.

Credit Risk
The maximum exposure to the credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at the balance date
to recognise financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the
Balance Sheet and Notes to the Financial Statements.
The club does not have any material risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial
instruments entered into by the club.
Net Fair Value
The net fair value of assets or liabilities approximates their carrying value. No financial assets and financial liabilities
are readily traded on organised markets in the standardised form other than listed investments. Financial assets
where the carrying amount exceeds net fair values, have not been written down as the principal intends to hold
these assets to maturity.
The aggregate net fair values and carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities are disclosed in the
Balance Sheet and in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
DIRECTORS’ DECLARATION
In the opinion of the directors of the company, we declare that:
1.
The financial statements and notes present fairly the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2015
and are in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001:
(a) comply with Accounting Standards as described in Note 1 to the financial statements and the
Corporations Regulations 2001; and
(b) give a true and fair view of the financial position as at 30 June 2015 and of its performance for
the year ended on that date in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1 to
the financial statements.
2.
In the directors’ opinion there are reasonable grounds to believe that the company will be able to
pay its debts as and when they become due and payable.
This declaration is made in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

NORTHMEAD MEN’S BOWLING CLUB REPORT
The 2015 season was all about rebuilding NBC Sports Club to being one of the leading clubs in Zone 10
after a disappointing season in 2014. Again we ran into trouble when entering our pennant teams to the
Zone 10 Match Committee, applying for grades 2,3,4,5,6 & two grade 7 teams, we received two grade 2
teams, 3,4,5 and two grade 7 teams. After appealing to the State Match Committee and getting the
decision over turned Zone 10 than appealed to the Board of Bowls NSW who over turned the State Match
Committee to leave us with two grade 2 teams, 3,4,5 and two grade 7 teams which was to put a lot of
pressure on us again.
Some good recruiting and an influx of players from Wentworthville Memorial was always going to
strengthen our club but with an influx of new bowlers it can be hard to keep everyone happy and in the
grade they want to play. The recruitment of Keith Smith, Matthew Smith, Graeme Callaghan, Cameron
McClure, Shane Partridge, Tony Partridge, Michael Lombardi & Todd Lonnergan (Toongabbie) and Key
players Mick Debono (St Johns Park) Andrew Chapman (Dundas) & Kevin Cooper (Brush Park) was always
going to put us in a comfortable position in the higher grades.
Although we finished second in both grade 2 sides it was a disappointing result with the players we had. It
can often take time for players to gel into a side when they play together for the first time so I’m sure if the
players committee themselves for the 2016 season and practice we will have much better results. Grade 3
had an outstanding season winning the Zone 10 flag against Hunters Hill. Unfortunately the boys could not
display the same effort at the State finals at Warners Bay but done the club proud. Grade 4 had a good
season making the Zone 10 final but going down to the strong Merrylands outfit. Grade 5 had a great start
to the year but faded away towards the back end of the season. Both grade 7 teams won their sections of
the Zone 10 pennant flag. Our 7/2 played Toongabbie in the Semi-final and put up a good fight but were
beaten by a better team on the day. In the Final our 7/1 put the cleaners through Toongabbie and went all
the way to the State Final going down to very strong Comboyne side. Out of our seven pennant sides NBC
Sports Club entered, 4 sides made the Zone 10 pennant finals. A great achievement and something we will
look to improve on next year.
NBC Sports Club was the host for the 2015 State Grade 6 Pennant Final and we could not have done it
without the Support of NBC Sports Club Management & Board of Directors and our wonderful volunteers.
The feedback was exceptional and would have not been possible without or generous club members. We
had some difficult situations over the weekend but with the help of our volunteers we got through them.
Thank you to all involved for making my job so enjoyable over this weekend.
In the Zone Championships we had some good results. Bill Harkins won the Zone 10 Junior Singles
defeating Jordan Peisley from Merrylands 31 – 10. Billy also made the Semi-final of the State Junior Singles
but was defeated 31-14 by Jordan Taylor from Zone 16. In the Zone 10 Fours the team of Mick Kelly,
Andrew Chapman, and Mick Debono & Brett Hughes made the final but were beaten by a very strong
Merrylands side skipped by Neil Burkett. Brett Hughes made the quarter final of the Zone 10 Singles going
down 31-30 to Craig Maythers from Wentworthville Leagues. Allan Murrow also made the quarter final of
the Zone 10 President Singles going down 31-15 to Gary Bricknell from Gladesville. Andrew Bush & Rod
Gordon made the Semi Final of the Zone 10 Pairs going down to the eventual winners Peter Williams & Neil
Burkett 22 – 15. Overall we had some great results.

you for your time and input as we continue to support and look for continues improvement within bowls at
NBC Sports Club.
A special thank you to our selectors (John Farr, Rod Gordon, Mal Keys and Ken Brown) for the great job and
the time you have given up through the year. We did not have a Match Committee in 2015 so I would like
to pay special mention to Bruce Coggins, Keith Marney, Mal Campbell, Drew Stedman, Rod Gordon, Mick
Kelly & Garry Smith. You have all helped out considerably throughout the past twelve months and made
the job of the Bowls Manager much easier.
To our Greenkeepers, Shannon, Bruce & Billy your efforts in preparing three top class greens is appreciated
by all players and the greens continue to be the envy of all clubs within our zone.
A special thank you to all of our umpires, in particular the ladies who look after our pennants matches
throughout the season.
To the Wednesday team of Doug Dell, John Alexander and Keith Marney, you continue to do a great job
and your support is greatly appreciated.
To our loyal sponsors of pennants and tournaments, Globe Memorial Company, NSW Poker Machines
Supply and Service, Australian Unity, Walsh and Sullivan First National Real Estate, Shelton’s Quality Meats,
Tyre King , Elite Travel and NBC Sports Club, thank you for your continued support.
This is my third club that I have been involved in a Bowls Management role after having five years at
Rosehill and five years at Toongabbie. I would like to thank Rod Gordon for the job he did as Bowls Coordinator and the position he left the Bowling Club in. His ongoing support has been gratefully appreciated
as we continue to improve our position on bowls at NBC Sports Club and look to become the best bowls
club in Zone 10.
Finally, a big thank you to all of our bowls families. You put up with us being away playing bowls for long
periods throughout the year, so please come along and join us at the Club Presentation Night (November
14) and meet the people you hear so much about every weekend.

NORTHMEAD WOMEN’S BOWLING CLUB REPORT
My first year as your President has come to an end and what a busy, happy year it has been.
Our Club can’t grow without new members and this year we welcomed Rhonda Birrell, Fay King, Julie
Beesley, Lorraine Medlin and Lorraine Ettridge, plus welcomed home Carol Blake. It’s a pleasure to
welcome you to Northmead and I hope bowls brings friendship and enjoyment to your life. We also have
two ladies having lessons at present and I thank Brian Dengate for his willingness to give his time to
coaching and his encouragement to all our members.
Our bowls results this year have been solid. Although we didn’t win a flag we were in the top half of the
draw in all grades. Well done ladies. District games saw Roz Clarke runner up in the singles. Roz Clarke and
Carmel Byrne won the pairs and Cheryl Thompson, Joy Dennis, Roz Clarke and Carmel Byrne won the
senior fours.
Congratulation to Roz Clarke who was named Lady Bowler of the Year and Club Bowler of the Year at the
Presentation Night. Carmel Byrne was runner-up Lady Bowler and runner-up Club Bowler of the year.
Our trivia night in February was a wonderful night, a social success and financially rewarding. Certainly
Rod’s second job should be a trivia host and I thank him sincerely for his help and support on the night.
This year Bennelong District was welcomed to Region 16, which now sees four districts back in our region.
On 21/22 May Northmead hosted Region 16 Pennant Playoffs. What a big 2 days with 170 players and
officials plus spectators. I was very proud to belong to Northmead, despite the rain on Friday everything
ran like clockwork and I can’t thank our girls enough for all the work they did.
Bring-A-Friend day and Members Day, Big Morning Tea and our two carnivals were all successful days
mainly because so many members do so much work. A big thank you to our committee this year, Pam as
Secretary, Janette as Treasurer, Vice-Presidents Roz and Anne, Selectors and Social Committee have all
given so much to our club. To our outgoing committee members Pam, Denise and Angie, thank you for
your contribution and commitment to our club.

NORTHMEAD ANGLERS
Well another year has passed, with this year seeing very good numbers of fish being caught by most
anglers who have wet a line. We have had great attendances throughout the year, though sometimes the
weather has been less than favourable. Forcing the fair weather fishermen to stay in bed, rather than
battle it out on the briny.
For those who do not know what we are about, well this is what we get up to and don’t believe any of
those rumours. The Northmead Anglers are a trailer boat club, who boats range from 7 metres down to
kayaks, that fish once a month as per our calendar. Basically you can fish wherever you wish to legally from
6:00am Saturday with the weigh in at the club. The weigh in times are 4.00pm during the Eastern Standard
Time & 5.00pm for Eastern Daylight Saving Time. Then for 3 times a year we head for a weekend away,
usually at the costal port of Greenwell Point (near Nowra).
Neil Williams organises the charter boat for those anglers who do not have access to getting aboard a boat.
He has done so for many years and he does a ripper job. So if you have not got a boat get in contact with
Neil to see if he can get you on the charter boat. Spaces usually fill up quick in the warmer months, so get
in early.
Just to let you know we fish for the following categories yearly: Angler of the Year, Estuary Angler of the
year, Open Angler of the year, Lady Angler of the year, Junior Angler of the year (12-18) & sub junior
(under 12). For those that wish to catch and release, we can cater for you too, and this like all competitions
we fish to NSW Fisheries guidelines at a minimum.
Please speak with any of the committee regarding any of the details for the respective competitions or any
other club information. The best night to do so is Tuesday, as we have our raffles on this night and they are
drawn around 6:15pm.
Basically like any club we are always trying to attract new members, as personally I would like to see some
new faces at the weigh ins, no offence to the regulars. So please spread the word, especially to any boat
owners who may have not even considered joining a club.
Lastly I would like to say thank you to the committee who volunteer their time to make sure the club
works, and to all the members of our club, because without you, there would be no club.
Cheers and may the fish be with you.
Darren Smith
President.
