president’s report
Adaption of the Presidents report tabled at the AGM
I would like to especially thank Jill, Roly, Aaron, Deryk, Eric, Adam, Leanne and Jo for all their
support during a year. We have jointly had to make a number of pretty tough decisions and
deal with some interesting issues over the year.

  We congratulate all our anglers who have achieved personal, club, national and international
goals. We also acknowledge and thank all our club members who have supported the club
throughout the year.
  I intend to break with tradition, and instead of talking about Medals and Gongs, I will talk about:
  • Club Finances
  • The Management Enhancement Program we have recently undertaken
  • NZSFC affiliation and the fees we pay
  • In House Club Business Mentors. - Should we elect a couple of well- respected members
      each year to be available to offer advice as required to the TSFC Club executive?

CLUB FINANCES
Our budget for the F/Y 2018 was a 20k positive margin. The final result was a deficit of 56k
Key factors contributing to a 56k deficit were:
 • Stricter accounting depreciation rules/reporting and the resultant increase of 32k on
   buildings taking total depreciation to 55k for the year. This was debated vigorously with
   our auditor, and some concessions were gained, however we cannot avoid recording the
   adjusted book (non cash) entry in our annual accounts. This building depreciation will
   continue in the years ahead.
 • Reduction in ASB Easy Fund dividend, projected to be around 8k by advisors, however
   international economic factors have intervened and it is less than half the predicted
   amount. The economists are optimistic of an improved result in the coming year, and we
   are hopeful of a better outcome next year.
 • Restaurant losses 28k (operating loss 10k and Extraordinary 18k). These have included
   some large capital costs (e.g. replacement chiller) which were unbudgeted at the
   beginning of the year, and some staff and related expenses that were unavoidable for us.
 • Other - 8k – trading
Summary of Variance 76k

Key Governance indicators in the performance report are;
 • Cash Flow shows actual (16k) compared to P&L report (56k)
 • This shows that although we are recording 28k losses in Restaurant, we managed to
   only burn 16k cash over-all — In my view a respectable result.
 • The Club actually managed to absorb some pretty lumpy Extraordinary Costs and Losses
   resulting with minimal adverse effect on cash flow.

2018-2019 TSFC Budget
A relatively conservative budget has been prepared for the year ahead, and we will work on

10 Tauranga Sport Fishing Club Inc. Yearbook 2017 - 2018
monitoring it very closely, however we are optimistic that other governance initiatives will
allow us to record a respectable positive result. - DN

TSFC MANAGEMENT ENHANCEMENT PROCESS & OUTCOME
Process: Six months ago the executive met to discuss several papers written by Eric and Tony
bringing attention to Management deficiencies delivering an acceptable level of Hospitality
and Growth.
  The executive then agreed to engage Russell Drake Consulting to prepare some independent
advice on how we could improve Club management with particular focus on hospitality.
  Russell Drake consulted with all key staff for their input and made a recommendation to
the executive.
  • Stage one will be the appointment of a new Hospitality Manager who will be responsible
    for the front-of-house event promotion, HR, restaurant and bar operation
  • Stage Two will be a review of the Club management structure, including responsibility for
    membership, promotion, fishing events, administration and accounting, as well as stage
    one above.

Management Enhancement Program will deliver:
 • Increased membership
 • Increased events, delivering increased revenue
 • Improved service and Experience while dining and socializing
 • Increased financial capability of TSFC so that it will no longer be so dependent on the

                                                                                 www.tsfc.co.nz 11
president’s report cont...

     generosity of members and sponsors to survive as is currently the case. Yes, it needs to
     stand on its own feet.

TSFC AFFILIATION FEES OF 24k Annually paid to NZSFC
Our Committee has for two years being questioning quality of governance and service we as
TSFC members receive---Do we get a bang for our buck!
  I can report that your committee has played a major hand in questioning the performance
and governance of NZSFC board of directors and we have been guaranteed better service and
governance is in the wings.
  I would also like to confirm that recently we met with Peter Campbell Vice President of the
NZSFC to thrash out an issue regarding questions we had asked of NZSFC some time ago
relating to other Clubs doctoring membership subs to the tune of many thousands of dollars
leaving Clubs like TSFC to subsidise the Clubs. I can confirm Peter has stepped in and swiftly
confirmed NZSFC policy with a letter confirming NZSFC will be applying the rules fairly in
future. Thank you Peter and Deryk for your support.

BUSINESS MENTORS- Available for TSFC executive to lean on occasionally for advice?
Tony Kinzett has proposed that we consider this, and it is advice well received. The incoming
committee have undertaken to follow this recommendation.

Thank you
Tony Dolman
President TSFC

manager’s report

As I roll into my fifth year at the Club, the past twelve months has brought about considerable
change. The Salt Kitchen management opted not to renew their lease back in October
presenting the Club with an opportunity to run our own restaurant. So from November
the Club took over the kitchen naming it the A-BUOY Marina Restaurant and immediately
employed staff as well as re-furnishing the space with new dining chairs. The additional
management of the restaurant business has been an adjustment for the committee,
management as well as members and we would like to thank members for your support
through this time.

 Our summer and winter menu’s looked to cover a range of tastes and to date we have been
mostly very happy with the food that our kitchen has been producing. Improving systems and
upskilling staff has been a learning curve particularly at event times, so we were thrilled to
get Pedro (a previous TSFC caterer) back for a short term as a mentor to help set up the menu

12 Tauranga Sport Fishing Club Inc. Yearbook 2017 - 2018
and create good systems and structures. Please come and support the restaurant, the food is
great and the view from the deck outstanding on a good day!
  We hope you enjoy the new layout and fresh changes to this yearbook. We believe the
switch to INK IQ is just what the yearbook needed and would like to thank Jodie Gollop for her
contributions to this and the many bits of artwork throughout the year.
  The sponsors grid auction and sponsors evening continues to be a fantastic evening for
the Club and we cannot thank our sponsors enough for their support. Please familiarise
yourselves with the sponsors grid and support these businesses that support your Club. For
the sponsors we will be working hard at this end to give you as much value as possible across
a range of media.
  With the fishing events running very well and tournament reciepts and sponsorship strong it
has become the focus of the committee to look more closely at strengthening our social rituals
and club evenings. Fostering more socially focused activities it’s hoped will boost club foot
traffic outside of event times. To achieve this we have undertaken an independent Club review
that has highlighted the best way to put a structure in place to achieve these goals. So we look
forward to reporting on this in the near future.
  The Club has always been a great place to catch up with friends, family and your fishing
mates. We are in a superb location so make sure you spread the word and invite your guests
down and let’s keep the Club moving forward!

tournament convenors report

The Club ran and hosted 20 fishing tournaments in the past year, making our Club
tournament calendar one of the busiest in the country. One of these was the Big Four Event
which was run in conjunction with the Te Puna Hunting & Fishing Club. Now in its second
year this event attracted 1000 keen anglers and hunters who competed over a week, all
culminating in a massive prize giving! This has proven to be a fantastic networking event
and exposure for our Club with numerous competitors joining the TSFC!

  We just had so many awesome events this                  made even more special with the capture
