First of all, I must apologize for my absence as I am at present away from New Zealand. Thanks to Sarah Gordon, the chairman of the Board, who had kindly agreed to chair this Annual General Meeting on my behalf. As I had mentioned earlier in my report at the Half Yearly General Meeting, this again is another year of change. ABA has a new General Manager, John McGregor, since April this year. With him in the driving seat, there were changes in the roles of staff, and the overall management and operations. These changes are aimed at improved performance of the Association, but it needs time for consolidation. Thanks to all the staff who had paid lots of efforts and patience to put up with all these changes. ABA had been loosing money for many years. It is obvious that the improvement of the Association's financial position is one of the top priorities. Our new General Manager is working very hard on this. The Association is aiming at a target of at least break even. At the same time, the Association would try not to increase the affiliation fees for our club members if at all possible, in order to avoid additional burden to our affiliated clubs. Congratulations to all winners of the various tournaments. Well done! Our Association is the biggest association in New Zealand, and we should be able to do better. We would like to aim at being the number one association in New Zealand with the best results. Kiwi Cup Tournament was a great success as I had mentioned before in my report at the Half Yearly General Meeting. It was enjoyed be most of the players participated, especially those from overseas, and they strongly requested this tournament to be held again next year. Thanks to all the Board Members and the volunteers who had spent lots of their time and efforts in helping our Association to run numerous operations and tournaments. Thanks also to all of you for your continual support. I wish you all a safe and enjoyable festival season. Vincent Wong President November 2012 8 Chairman’s Report I believe that 2012 has proved to be the year in which the Auckland Badminton Association has turned a corner with a lot of positives to look forward to. ABA ran a successful inaugural KiwiCup competition in March with approximately 50 athletes travelling from overseas. This tournament is again planned for 2014. nd General Manager John McGregor started with us on 2 April. We have undertaken capital expenditure in repairing the men’s showers, replacing the CCTV security system (which has already proved beneficial), upgrading / replacing the computer server and IT, and upgrading the telephone system – all long overdue. The second half of the financial year has seen our position get back on track to the extent that I am very pleased to report that we have broken even for this year. Not the profit forecasted last year, however I have every confidence that the outstanding ground work carried out by our new GM has laid an excellent foundation for ongoing improvements in our finances. John McGregor has undertaken a review of the job descriptions of the staff which has resulted in them (the staff) taking a much more of a hands-on role for their particular area of responsibility, this in turn is already having a bearing on efficiencies and revenue. This will allow for better allocation of funds to the overall development of our sport at the grass routes level and onwards to the players in our high development squads. John has also undertaken the reorganisation of the financial accounts which was started with Graeme Evans and has been developed and refined further. The Board would like to express their sincere thanks to Graeme for all his work and input to these accounts. In 2012 our winners on the courts were: Auckland 2 - the Slazenger Cup Under 23 - New Zealand champs Under 19 Auckland 1 Division 1 - North Island and New Zealand Division 1 9 Under 17 Auckland 1 Division 1 - North Island and New Zealand Division 1 Under 15 Auckland 1 - North Island Division 1 SuperVets Auckland 1 (Honourable mention: In count back #1 lost Wisden by 1, U15 #1 lost NZ Champs by 1) These victories were achieved by on-court outstanding performances by individuals who “came to play and win” encapsulated by Samuel Ho wining the Badminton New Zealand Junior Player of the Year Award presented last Saturday at their annual Awards night. These performances are what the game of badminton is all about and why we are all involved. All players are to be applauded for their achievements on the court and an inspiration to those who strive to overtake them. “You are only as good as your last victory” – don’t dwell on your losses, but move on to your next victorious achievement. There will always be upsets and disappointments. These pass and need to be kept in context of the game itself. Remember it is about the positive promotion of the game – never the individual. In my opinion if you are not interested in promoting badminton in general through your Club and Auckland Badminton in particular, then don’t be involved at any level with the Auckland Badminton Association. This is my last report as Chair. I have been in this role now for 5 years. 5 years which have been personally challenging but also very rewarding, this is a good time to step aside to allow new blood to influence Auckland Badminton’s continued success and positive progress. I am very confident that I leave the Association in a much better and more positive position than when I was elected in 2007. One final comment – my thanks (a simple word for so much given) to: the coaches and managers of all our teams; all the clubs who have supported ABA in 2012; those volunteers who continually pop up – please don’t stop; support from Sport Auckland; 10 John, Jack, Emma, Cliff, Ruth, Laureen and ProShop & café parttimers; and to my Board for all the support you have given me. We have worked well together. Sarah Gordon November 2012 New Zealand Champions are Auckland SuperVets in 2011 11 General Manager’s Report Overview Since my arrival which was back in April it has been a busy time dealing with 1. BNZ over the Olympic Games selection process. 2. BNZ handling of disciplinary processes 3. ABAs issues over a social and fun competition. 4. The financials performance was not in a great position after the first 6 months. I am not going to dwell on this as the points have been raised and discussed at length and there is a clear understanding of how ABA sees these contentious issues. However it is a shame there is so much conflict as sport has so much to offer but continually makes it difficult for itself because of personal agendas and conflicts of interest. We don’t need to make it this hard as there are a number of other more important areas to deal with such as 1. Making the Game fun and encouraging participation 2. Growing the game at all levels from grassroots 3. Developing fun competitions 4. club members to competition This seems to have been a major issue on the wider scale with other associations but it seems that we have finally been able to overcome this after the recent BNZ AGM. After a 24 to 3 vote to have a total independent and external review on the state of the game in NZ it showed that everyone wants to see the game progress and all personal agendas are removed. Without this the game would have continued to drift and provide no direction, confidence or inspiration to players which inturn makes it difficult for clubs and associations Whilst there has been friction between associations in the past it shows that communication and team work can assist us all in reaching the outcomes we are aiming for. So it is time for everyone to work together and show that we are a unified sport and a team to deliver the best outcomes for the game first and ensure that no one thinks that they are bigger than the game of badminton. Badminton unfortunately is not a priority sport with SportNZ and will continue to be part of the minority groups until we start getting performances on the world stage. This means like all associations we need to work hard to support club and player development to get athletes onto the International stage by establishing good pathway models and ensuring there is value in the events they participate in. ABA and I am sure our clubs like all other associations look forward to the outcome of this review and hope to see a new direction for the game and its participants. Financial Report Financially the association has had its difficulties however finishing the year in a far stronger position than previous years and better from the 6 month figure we look forward to a brighter future. Budgets will look different in the new financial year with some restructuring of the information. Each area will be responsible for the income and expenditure. The areas are broken down into 12 1. 2. 3. 4. Administrative and Stadium Events which covers all competitions and tournaments Operations accountable for the Pro Shop and Café Coaching and Development looking after growth in schools and Representative which includes performance 5. New Projects looking into ways we can grow memberships, facility usage and create new programmes that increase participation The management staff have worked hard on these budgets to ensure that the association achieves the key outcomes for the association. Funding Auckland Badminton continues to work hard on finding funding models to assist with the associations reliance on income to develop the game and maintain the facility. Funding from Charitable Trusts continues to get more difficult with new policies around support, the shrinking lid, greater entities seeking support, economical climate. With these areas in mind we look at new ways to generate income as we are aware that unless there a relax of laws and the economy improves this model is not sustainable. Tournaments and Competitions It would be great to be able to discuss all events however as there are so many strong performaces it was important to particularly mention the following We saw some great events in 2012 with the Anugral NZ Masters Kiwi cup in March. This was well organised and supported by the committee and the staff of ABA. Many Thanks to our sponsors such as Best Western Presidents Hotel, RSL NZ Limited and Xtreme Sports who made a great contribution to see that the event was successful. Feedback was positive from and players who particularly enjoyed the form that the competition operated under so we really look forward to continuing this bi annually in 2014. Auckland International in June sponsored by SOTX was another great event for ABA as it provided the opportunity to see international players come to Auckland and compete. This will help increase the profile and exposure of Badminton but also bring competition in a different format and provide strong competition to our players. Alpers Lodge NZ Nationals also highlighted some great results with Auckland players winning a number of the events. Again thanks to Alpers Lodge for their going support to Auckland Badminton. Finally congratulations to Michelle Chan for herwinning performance in Feb at the 2012 Oceania Championship and it was certainly great to have her home for Wisden Cup in August. I had the opportunity to travel with the teams to Wisden and Slazenger in Waikato being manger for both teams. It was an enjoyable time but busy. Our players did us proud with the Slazenger team winning their tournament and gaining promotion to Wisden in 2013. The Wisden team performed strongly with Alan Chan back home as well as Michelleas mentioned. The opportunity to see these athletes compete and the young to learn was a great opportunity for Auckland. The Wisden team just missed out 13 in the final against Waikato but with a very young side the future looks bright for Auckland so look forward to next season. Coaching Tom Armstrong joined the association in April/ May and brings experience and knowledge to the association. Sponsors Over the last 12 months we have secured major sponsorship. Tournaments Yonex: the ProShop, Coaches, HP players, Junior Competitions Prince: premium sponsor for Masters, Vets and SuperVets Sotx Sports: the Auckland International Championship Alpers Lodge: the New Zealand Championships RSL: the Auckland Open President Hotel: the NZ Masters International Championships Stadium signage YMCA ECLY Ltd Ronnie Mo Real Estate President Hotel Alpers Motor Lodge (soon to be erected) Joint venture Partnerships Over the last 12 months we have worked to secure long term partnerships with several organisations to further our profile as a sport and to secure long term revenues for the players. Sport Auckland. Recognised now as one of the nine main regional sports organisations in Auckland. Sport Auckland/Sparc. Long term funding of the primary school racqueteers program Sport Auckland/SPARC/Auckland Council/Auckland Football. A joint venture to introduce badminton and football to newly arrived immigrants to Auckland. Auckland University/Unitec. Initial stages of creating long term partnerships with these academic institutions to create pathways for badminton players competing internationally. Club visits Over the last 12 months I have visited all 32 divisions of the clubs in the Association. On many of these occasions I was with Cliff Freeman when we presented a ‘Power Point’ presentation about our sport as we see it. This was a very interesting exercise with many club members “just wanting to play badminton” rather than having an interest in the future of the sport. 14 Conclusion I would like to thank the staff and the Board of the Association who have worked very hard this year as a team to drive change, create a team working environment and have a ‘can do’ attitude. I congratulate the players who have achieved competitive success in the last 12 months and those players who just enjoy playing the game. I have enjoyed watching you enjoying badminton at all levels of the sport. I particularly would like to thank the numerous volunteers who have given up their time to help me personally and the Association. Without you we would not have one.

For 2012 Auckland entered one team in each of the divisions one to four. A division five team was not entered this year due to lack of numbers and commitment from players the previous year. This looks like continuing for next season with 4 senior teams entered, with 2 teams in Wisden Cup one in Division 3 and one in Division 4. Trainings or match play were offered to Division 3 and 4 teams the week before ties. It was fairly well attended; we will look into whether to hold them in 2013. Training for the Wisden and Slazenger Cup team started 10-12 weeks before the competition with mixed attendance rates. The timeslot of Sunday mornings was partly to blame according to players. We will review the training and try to plan better for 2013. Our Wisden cup team was again coached by Li Feng, assisted by myself and Henry Tam we brought in 2 players who are based overseas, Alan Chan and Michelle Chan, who are Auckland players who were able to come out a week or so before to train and spar with the squad. The Wisden team put up a great fight, and up against a lot of hardships, missing players through injury and suspension, we came within 1 point of winning Wisden Cup but came off in second place to Waikato. There was an excellent team feel this year within the group and though we were bitterly disappointed not to clinch the trophy, I feel we accounted for ourselves greatly, and played with a great spirit, and came out as the morale winners, against a Waikato side which once again pushed the hard against the boundary of fair play and competitveness. The Slazenger cup team was a ridiculously young team who was coached by myself and assisted greatly by Henry Tam who stepped in to add great value to the team. The teams average age was under 18 with only one player above 21! With an inexperienced team, the players had no fear and gave everything, edging out Waitakere on countback in their closest game with a never say die attitude, and going on to win the rest of their games comfortably, winning Slazenger Cup and with it Promotion to Wisden Cup for 2013. 17 Division Three performed very well, missing out on finishing top in the last tie of the season coming second to Wellington. The team had a massively spread out schedule, traveling out of Auckland for every fixture, up to Whangerai, across to Napier and down to Wellington to name but a few venues for the team this year. A big thank you to Robbie Thackham for organizing and being team 3 captain. Team Four performed well coming home middle of the field with some young players. Thanks To Brian for captaining and organizing the team, I know they had a lot of trouble finding players some weekends, especially with a lot of the young players struggling for time off school on long trips. Auckland U23 team competed in the U23 National champs at North Harbour putting in a great effort winning the national title with 6-5 victories in every match, including a comeback from many match points down verses Canterbury and Waikato. The team performed excellently and it was a great group of players to work with. The team was coached by me and we had two trainings before the competition which were well attended. There early in the season date for the competition caught a few players and coaches out so will look to better plan for next year. Having a 5x5 team was also tough to make sure everyone played. Depending on number I would recommend only a 4x4 team. Tom Armstrong Coaching manager and Senior Convener 18 Junior Rep 2012 has been another busy year for the Junior Committee and for Auckland’s junior representative players. There were new Badminton NZ sponsored circuits for U15 and U17 tournaments and many of our players enjoyed a share of the end-of-year prize money for these events. 2012 also saw the inauguration of official U13 events (including U13 Nationals), changes to team eligibility for U15/U17 Nationals and a changed schedule for U19 Nationals. This has meant the majority of our junior players began their extended 2012 season in February and continued training and playing tournaments right through to October. Auckland was represented by 11 junior teams in 2012 (2 U19 teams, 4 U17 teams, 4 U15 teams and 1 U13 team). Our junior teams won two National age group team events at U19 and U17 level and three North Island team titles at U19, U17 and U15 level. Many of our players also won individual national titles in their respective age group events. The overall outcome of team and individual tournaments in 2012 by our junior players has been an outstanding success. The on-court playing success was supported superbly by the coaches, team managers and parent managers that accompanied them to Palmerston North, Nelson and Wellington. The 2012 Junior Committee worked cohesively and efficiently to plan, organise and assist the running of our junior events. Daniel Lee from Pacific Badminton Club and Jack Ngametua ran another successful junior interclub season running for 14 weeks. Jack also managed all of the schools events and together with the Schools Programme developed by Cliff Freeman, ABA organised badminton was made widely available to junior players in both clubs and schools. The Junior Committee also received excellent contribution and input throughout the year from Laureen Cooper, the ABA Junior Co-ordinator and from Chin Fong from College Rifles Club (who was the official referee for all our junior tournaments), Robert Hillier (with his knowledge of Tournament Software) from LEPJBC and May Tang who all helped with the busy 2012 tournament schedule. Cookie Time was our major junior fundraising exercise in 2012 and thank-you to Cecilia Tong from Griffen Park Junior Club for coordinating this during the year. The Junior Committee also enjoyed the continued services of Barry Stevens and Sue Smith, whose combined knowledge of all things badminton has been very much appreciated. I would like to give a special thank-you to our 2012 coaches and team managers who accompanied the U15/U17 teams to Palmerston North in July 19 and then gave up another week of their time in October to be with the teams again for Nationals. All of them made huge personal concessions to their work, studies and even their own health and well-being to coach and manage our teams and we cannot thank them enough for the time and effort that have contributed to our junior programme in 2012. With Auckland Badminton appointing a new General Manager and a new Coaching Manager during 2012, a challenging year was indeed expected and the Junior Committee wishes to thank John McGregor and Tom Armstrong for their patience and understanding in regards to the needs of our junior players and acknowledging that the continued success and growth of badminton in Auckland starts at this level and a positive exposure to badminton at this age will greatly increase the likelihood of future involvement in the sport. As always we thank the generosity of our sponsors and the work of the many volunteers who have contributed immensely to another highly successful and satisfying year for Auckland Junior Badminton, and finally a BIG thank-you to all the junior players (and their parents) who have supported Auckland Badminton in 2012 by being members of their local clubs, participating in our training programmes and entering our organised events and tournaments. Dennis Yep ABA Junior Committee Convenor 20 Coaching Report This season has been a very busy year for coaching at the association, with a lot of new faces, ideas and initiatives having started this year or being put in place for next year. It was my first season here as coaching manager, and I hope I at least matched the standards set by my predecessor. The role has changed greatly from when I was first approached to take on the role, to new management and where we are today, but hopefully we can bring about positive results for coaching and playing development in the Association. Schools Secondary schools have been utilising coaching for there Year 12 and 13 students for NZEA Physical Education though I believe the number of schools taking this up is down on last year. Most schools have been given 10 sessions of coaching focusing on the tactical side of badminton then completing a practical assessment at the end. Schools that completed NCEA with Auckland Badminton are: Howick College, Pakuranga College, Auckland Girls Grammar Grammer, St Cuthbert’s, McAuley High. There has also been a high demand for coaching of secondary school teams and I have recruited in other coaches to help with the demand from secondary schools. Coaches who have assisted in schools coaching are Robbie Thackham, Michael Rippon, Brent Miller and Anush Pandian. Schools taking up coaching for their teams were St Kentigerns (intermediate), St Cuthberts, Diocesan school for girls, Sacred Heart, Auckland Girls Grammar, Auckland Normal Intermediate, Kadimah College, Parnell College, Western Springs, McCauley High, Our lady Scared Heart and Mt Roskil Grammar and Intermediate. We are looking at creating more strategic partnerships with schools, and creating more opportunities for pupils to access badminton in schools. I have been trying to get more sessions into these schools, using all times in the day (before, during, lunch and after) to try and best get badminton in to schools. Next year we are looking at splitting the regions into targeted regions, that we can then better manage and target our resources to gain more specific and positive results from our school programs. This will involve more contract work for coaches 21 Squads Our elite squad this year has been taken by Li Feng, out at her facility in the East of the City. The squad have been less than committed this year and we have had numerous withdrawals or poor commitment to training. Originally, this can partly be blamed to coaching management structure around the elite squad, with myself not being totally sure of my role within the High Performance structure and the sudden change of management within the organisation. As the season has gone on and I have been able to work with li Feng, and I have now taken over the running/overseaing of the elite program. Li Feng will still take most of the on court sessions, while I will oversee all training structures, tournament planning and off court work. We have had meeting with players at the start of term 4 to highlight the issues we have had this term, and where we want to be starting next year after the summer break. Players have been made aware of the commitments required to make the Elite squad in Auckland, so we expect a smaller but more committed squad next year. Outside of our elite squad, there have been some changes to the make up of our development squads, and will be some slight changes going into next year. There has been and introduction of a fourth tier squad, to specifically cater for the 7-12 year olds who show potential to train and play more. This is in line with a new focus of u13 events that have started this year by BNZ, including an u13 circuit and national championships. This is currently called the development squad, in the New Year (feb/,march 2013) will be renamed the Futures Squad. We would encourage all clubs to put forward their top young players to attend this squad, as this will be the first step on our new Development program that the ABA will run. Our current Auckland badminton Squad which runs on a Wednesday has been very successful this year with a steady squad who have been working well. From February/march next year this squad shall be know as the developing squad and will train twice a week. The Junior high Performance squad which runs twice a week on a Tuesday and Thursday has been running very well also, with the players understanding that they are in the training squad to work hard and improve. This squad will also be renamed as of next year to the Emerging Squad and will continue to have 2 court sessions a week. Next year we hope to have the squads set up and ready to go form the start of the school year and create a positive training environment with a clear linear progression through the development phases, 22 making a clear and transparent pathway. We would ask that all club support this pathway, and promote its goals. The program doesn’t look to take players away form clubs, but help the, in their development which will ultimately help the clubs. Coach education This year being my first year in the position, my coach education priorities were in collecting data, and attempting to update the Coaching Register, which proved a lot harder than you’d think. We ran one level 1 Coaching course which was run at capacity of 15 coaches. We had an excellent mix of players, young coaches, and teachers with a limited badminton background, which meant for a really excellent mix of experiences which I hope they all benefited from. Jeff Mitchell from GACU and Sport Auckland came in to deliver some of the theory for the course, which he related excellently to the group and their different backgrounds. I have been in regular contact with Jeff regarding our future Coach Development plans and he has been very helpful in us moving forward in this area. We also ran 2 new Raqueteers Courses out of Mt Roskill Grammar, in line with Cliff Freemans Just Smash it program. This attracted older players from the Grammar school with the opportunity to qualify themselves as Raqueteers Coaches and help deliver sessions to the younger Mt Roskill schools. We had a total of 22 Coaches attend the 2 sessions with 90% passing. They have now been fed back into the system to be mentored by more senior coaches. This has been very successful with some of the coaches, as with any program we have had some drop out and poor commitment from some of the others, but on the whole it has been a positive project. Badminton New Zealand will be rolling out a new coach development framework over the summer, with a Northern Region update expected late November in the form of a seminar run by the Coaching Director from BNZ. Depending the outcome of this project, will possibly have a big influence on our own coach development plans for 2013, including new coach education modules and clearer pathways for coaches. 23 Coach Licencing In one major change planned for 2013, the management team has decided to licence the coaches that wish to use the Gillies Avenue facility for individual or ‘private’ coaching. Two meetings were held in consultation with current coaches, so we could be as transparent with the process as possible. We discussed a number of areas needed to be addressed, and why we felt the need for licencing. 1. 2. 3. 4. to support badminton and protect the players who were receiving coaching. Ensure that there was a consistent model to the development of the players Assist in ensuring the association maintained a sustainable model to continue to support and develop the game Ensure that courts were free to players for recreational participation st As of January 1 2013 Auckland Badminton Association will be ensuring that there is criteria around coaching within the facility to ensure there is balance around the use of the hall and consistent coaching practices for players to develop and identify clear pathways. Coaches will be offered the chance to apply for licences, filling in an application form to be assessed and processed by the coaching manager. They will have the opportunity to become licenced and accredited, or licenced and non-accredited. Accredited will have the opportunity to integrate more with the Associations coach development plan, including the taking of representative teams. In return the coaches will be offered a reduction in their licence fee, and constant association support. Nonaccredited will pay a licence fee, and an agreed court rate, but not be associated with the ABA. We are also looking at putting something together for younger or emerging coaches who don’t yet see the need to buy a licence to nurture our coaching talent. Holiday programs Holiday programs have been a mixed success this year. From the first camp, which was not well advertised and happened the week after I arrived to the latest one, we have seen a marked rise in numbers to us nearly being at capacity for the October camps. We have engaged with YMCA Activities 24 Company and are trying to fit some badminton onto their holiday programs for future holiday periods. The holiday programs have also been used well for to give young and new coaches the opportunity to gain experience or to do some of their level 1 log hours under the supervision of experienced coaches. We do have some issues regarding other coaches running programs at the same time, which has meant we have now shifted our focus on just providing holiday camps for beginners, and younger intermediates. Raqueteers/Fundamental skills coaching The Raqueteers program in conjunction with Kiwisport funding has been run very successfully this yeah, albeit on small scale, with a limited reach into the regions schools. Laureen Cooper has been our main deliverer of our raqueteers program, but we have used many other coaches throughout the season to help with the work load. Our coaches have received excellent feedback form schools and are performing on the whole to very high standards. For 2013 we will be zoning off the Auckland region and using certain coaches to target areas. This will focus the resources we have to try and increase our partner ships in targeted schools to create a permanent presence in schools, rather than visiting only once a term, which will lead to the establishment of badminton as a regular sport in each school. Auckland Junior Representative Trials Trials this year were held before I arrived a the association but after receiving feedback form players parent and coaches it has been decided to change the format of junior trials for 2013. We will still have the 2 weekends of trials on the Saturdays in March, however only enough players to fill the teams will be selected, but not into specific teams. There will then be a follow up training/trials days with all representative coaches involved to select the specific teams. This will then hopefully move us away from the problems of previous years where players felt they weren’t given a long enough opportunity to prove themselves. 25 Four of the five New Zealand Champions came from Auckland in 2011 26 Masters Report The Future This year has been the first with no Masters Committee, as such. Instead, Yvonne and I joined with John and Jack, from the office, in organising all things Masters. The ABA Board are now demanding that all segments of Auckland Badminton must at least break-even. Because Masters events are no longer run by a Masters Committee, any profits from organised events are now eaten up by the ABA staff who run them and are not credited as Masters income. The Masters must now find enough income to pay for all Masters activities such as Inter-assn entry fees, shuttles, court hire, either from you the players, or from fundraising. So as you can see, if all things remaining equal, there is likely to be no travel subsidies and an increase of somewhere near $20 per team member in registration fees next year. Come along to the ABA AGM on the 22nd of November to have your say about these likely increases. The Past Inter Association There were 6 Masters, 4 Veterans and 2 Supervets teams selected for the North Island Inter Association competitions this year. We have entered the same number of teams for next year. The No 1 Supervets team again won their competition—congratulations to them. While no team was relegated in Masters, a couple were lucky not to go down. In Vets the No 2 and No 4 teams were relegated, which means that we will have a team in each division next year. Box Doubles We again held this new format competition in February and with the feedback we received from it, another competition was held in August. Both events were very well 27 supported. There is another competition planned for next February and while it is again open to all grades, whether affiliated or not, Masters players will again be given first priority to enter. Results from this competition help the selectors determine the Masters Inter-Assn teams. So get your entries in when the forms come out next month. Auckland Masters Champs This was held once again in July. The tournament seemed to go well and had a good response from the players. We had a good entry (about 90 players) with a mix from around the Auckland region and Northland, though some age groups needed to be combined. The number of entries was helped by Auckland Assn players being offered free entry – we had hoped that this would get them to enter multiple events, though this didn’t work so well – if we do this again next year it will be 2nd event free. Thanks to Yvonne and Jack for organising the draw and running the tournament and to John for organising Prince who provided all the prizes. Kiwi Cup This was held in March and was a great success. Originally it was planned to hold this again next year and then every second year from then on. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, there will now be no tournament in 2013. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. See you all on the courts in 2013. Graeme Evans 28 Development Report They key priority for badminton is to grow its base and to do this it must adapt to an ever changing environment in the schools and the community. In 2011 / 2012 some key projects have allowed us to develop a model to ensure that we can adapt to that environment and expand our numbers. Schools as Learning Academies We have maintained our after schools program and taken it to a new level by developing a new model at the Mt Roskill Grammar School cluster which once finalised can be rolled out across Auckland. This model is based on three simple parts. 1. Participation and Introduction – getting students to flow through the school and start the sport started off with road shows and in school coaching programs. 2. Competition and After School Clubs – to learn how to play and then take part 3. Club – feeding into our local clubs and higher level interclub competition It means growing the learning and knowledge throughout the whole school as one big badminton academy not just in the Grammar School but also in the Primary and Intermediate Schools. Coaches trained in the Grammar School feed back into the primary and intermediate schools. Local Clubs Local Competitions Club in School “Just ● Inter House ● Inter School ● Coach Education ● Pay to Play in the S 29 Introduction and Participation ● Roadshows and In School Promotions Growing Our Casual Base Our sport is way too small to survive long term, we are planning to start free lunchtime participation in schools we visit which has huge potential to grow our base registration which can be very attractive to sponsors and funders. It also allows us to grow and promote to this base to grow into paid activity such as after school play and competitions and to our clubs and drastically grow our casual registered base which we can then divert into clubs and pay to play after school activity. Club Development ● We have handed out thousands of flyers promoting our clubs at events through the year attended by thousands of people including: Playing in the Streets, Council Community Fairs, Kiwisport in Schools etc ● We have new club web profiles, that can be searched for by name, are listed by area and by time and day or used as miniature web pages by clubs. They are successful in attracting new members to clubs. ● Funding – we support applications by clubs to funding agencies which given our strong relationship with these groups help contribute to a high success rate, our status as preferred sport by Sport Auckland also helps. ● Relationships – Auckland badmintons strong relationships with schools, council sport Auckland is bringing new funds to our area. These new projects are now allowing us to target community groups and get them to join up with our clubs. ● Media – we are now building through Connect 2 Sport and Green Prescription projects opportunities to promote more effectively in cultural media and general media. ● Club Assistance - we are always available to help any club with the following and have done so successfully in the recent past – funding applications and plans, volunteer recruitment, strategic planning, hall hire negotiations, 30 accessing cheaper hall hire or shuttles, council negotiations, accessing coaches, designing coaching programs, promotions, designing brochures, amending on line profiles, facebook promotions, links to schools, links to community groups, meeting targeted membership goals or just listening. ● Club School Partnerships and Performance Clubs – we will be working with clubs to not only form partnerships with schools but create a higher level of performance in selected clubs that are keen to develop into semi professional structures to tap into the growth potential in schools. ● Facebook – we have now discovered from Badminton NZ how to transfer our facebook page to a like page so that we can expand our 5000 members and have a page more appropriate for our size of organisation. Promotion The Kiwi Cup provided a rare opportunity for media exposure including time on Murray Deaker’s Program (thanks to Richard Purser), Maori TV (thanks to Liz Brown for being interviewed), The Aucklander and WTV. We have also developed new brochures now developed for all schools targeted at primary / intermediate and secondary schools. We have also done a lot of work behind the scenes on the website which is on going to improve its functionality. Funding We have secured this year over $190,000 in new funding from various sources which provides the sport with capacity that is not paid for out of its base funds but allows it to expand to the point where it will not need funding to do this. It also allows us to run new programs in schools and communities where we are heavily promoting our clubs. Connect 2 Sport Program - $30,000 towards salary costs plus $12,500 to develop the sport Funding from Charitable Trusts – over $100,000 Green Prescription - $5,000 Kiwisport - $38,000 growing our presence in schools. After Schools Program – new income of $23,000 profit of $12,000. In addition we have secured $79,000 from ASB Community trust to start 2012/2013 which to put in perspective is the same total funding received for a better than average year from 2006 to 2010. 31 Funding Support There is a misconception that affiliation money pays staff it does not. Many staff salaries are either totally funded by this combination or at least half funded by them. All money from memberships from clubs goes to Badminton NZ so ABA does not get or use any income from clubs to support salaries, grow the game or run competitions. All this must come from the stadium, shop sales, funding or project funding from outside sources. Growing Communities and Competitions This year has seen us expand into a number of new communities the future hear lies in large cultural tournaments. We are also well underway with planning for brand new school and senior community competitions next year. 1. New Indian community out West 2. NZ Chinese Community now based in our hall 3. NZ Tamil Society 4. Young Muslim Women's Association University Badminton We have grown new competitions at Auckland University including a new interfaculty competition paid for by Auckland University. Uni Mates – new competition run successfully at Unitec we are now expanding in AU and tapping into a council contact who has contact with over 40,000 international students. New University clubs – now being set up at Unitec with the Unitec Chinese Student Community and Unitec’s support. We are also talking to Unitec about more coaching and including new courses and coach development into secondary and intermediate schools as part of an integrated school and sport program. The future lies in integrating sport and education and getting badminton into the sporting curriculum in schools and colleges at all levels. 32 2012 Auckland Tournament Results Auckland Masters 35

Report Participation 2012 had a mix year of teams entered into the competition with total entry of 64 teams entered a decrease of 8 teams from the previous year. The competition started Monday 30th of April and ran until 27th of September. The Structure was reversed compared to previous years. We played the doubles competition first and finish with the singles interclub. We catered for the singles players in the first half of the year by running a singles ladder competition and vice versa for the second half of the year a doubles competition. There seems to be more players wanting to play doubles only. Maybe it is something that the clubs may look at and have 2 half years of doubles competition. Out of 19 senior clubs, only 10 clubs put teams into the competition throughout the whole year, quite disappointing. For us to run a really competitive competition we will need the support of all our clubs. The winners and runners up of this years competition goes to the following teams Division Winners Runner Division 2 Full Friends United Badminton Club All Stars Division 3 Full Pacific Mt Albert Division 2 Mens Lloyd Elsmore 2 Lloyd Els Division 3 Mens Mt Albert Grey Balmoral Division 1 Doubles Pacific 1 College R Division 2 Doubles Lloyd Elsmore 16 Friends U 47 Division 3 Doubles Lloyd Elsmore 17 Balmoral Division 1&2 Mens Doubles Lloyd Elsmore 19 All Stars Division 3&4 Mens Doubles Mt Albert Blue Friends U Secondary Schools 2011 Report Participation 2012 had a total entry of 298 teams an increase of 4 teams from the previous year with over 34 schools entered into the competition. The competition started Monday 30th of April and ran until 27th of September. The Structure was similar to previous years with all the games being played weekly. Two separate competitions were held first ten weeks being the competitive teams and the second ten weeks of the competition being the social grades. Two venues were used, the Central and another in the Eastern zone. All the games in the central were held at the Auckland Badminton Association and the Eastern Zone at Lloyd Elsmore Badminton Club. There were 32 grades in the competition. Each team consists of 4 players and 1 or 2 reserve players. This year there were about 1500 total players playing badminton. Out of these players 480 players were females players. Defaults Most matches were scheduled to avoid defaults. I would like to thank the teachers and team captains who cooperated to facilitate this. Thanks My thanks to teachers, team captains and to parents help without whom the organization of Secondary schools competition would be possible.
