                         Margaret O’Regan commented that there had been some Centre
                         event entry fee payment issues. These were noted by the meeting
                         and agreed that in future where there were outstanding fees the
                         person/club would not be eligible to compete in another centre event
                         until the outstanding amount is settled.
                         Some ongoing problems with the Stripe payment system were
                         outlined. The meeting agreed action be taken to have Stripe charges
                         assigned to the user and that reference to the payee should be
                         associated with the transaction. If either is not possible Stripe may
                         need to be removed as a payment option.

                         levies which were due 30 November 2021. Reminder notices had
                         been sent out and were being followed up.

                         contributions from Rep players still required some clarification with

                         agreement had been discussed, as well as an outline of the Centre’s
                         restructure. A proposal for an extended arrangement involving three
                         years, with a mutually acknowledged upgrade of conditions, was
                         considered and left for referral to Craigs management board for

                       for February 27, has now been confirmed as not proceeding, but

                       the rescheduled event in May.

                       Baywide Sevens. The finals weekend format had proved very
                       successful and the ensuing competition extremely close with
                       Tauranga Men and Ngongotaha Women winning their finals. The
                       host clubs, Tauranga (Day3) and Te Puke, along with the
                       participating teams, had handled the changing Covid arrangement
                       requirements very well during the lead up, and on the weekend.
                       Resolved: That both winning clubs receive a grant of $500.00
                       towards the cost of competing in the National playoffs.
                       Moved: D. Jones Seconded: K Dempster Rivett             Carried

                       entries were received for the event. The men’s qualifying round was
                       held at Omokoroa, with Katikati hosting the women’s qualifying round
                       and both the men’s and women’s finals. The winners were Cliff
                       Webber and Debbie White.

                       Men’s and Women’s Centre Fours. Arrangements were well
                       underway for these events with entries coming in steadily. The
                       venues confirmed as Ngongotaha for the women and Te Puke for the
                       men.

                       The meeting noted the very good number of Centre players at the
BOWLS NEW ZEALAND
                       recent National Singles and Pairs held at Christchurch and
                       recognized the notable performances by those players who reached
                       the quarterfinals. It was also noted that Graham Skellern had won his
                       classification in the Disabled section.

                                 operational.

                                 Coaching. Kathy Dempster Rivett briefed the meeting on progress
                                 being made on identifying registered and active coaches within the
                                 Centre.

                                 Youth Bowls. It was noted that the Youth Bowls Programme
                                 Manager is understood to not be vaccinated. The President would
                                 follow up and ascertain any future ramifications this may hold.

                                 Uniforms. Rod raised the desirability of the Centre having shirts or
                                 tops available for ambassadorial use at Centre events. Current
                                 uniform stock in the Centre Office would be checked for suitability.

FINANCE & ADMIN REPORT – 29 NOVEMBER 2021

Interim Manager (Eddie Ashcroft):
 The Contract for the Interim Manager’s position is place and is rolling over on
a 3 monthly basis. The current 3 month period continues through to 18
January 2022. As we may not hold another meeting before the current period
of the contract terminates we should consider extending the term for another
3 months i.e. from 19 January to 18 April 2022 to give the Board time to
approve the Terms of the Contract and Job Description for the incoming
Manager.
It should be noted that the Contract Manager is just that, an independent
contractor, responsible for his/her own Tax and ACC Levies. Invoices for
services are being provided on a monthly basis.
Lion Foundation:
Additional information was requested by the Lion Foundation Audit team. The
information requested has been emailed to them.
Stripe:
A refund to a player who used Stripe when entering the Open Singles has been
made. The amount received once the fees had been deducted was $23.97
whereas we are obliged to refund the whole $25.00. Eddie will liaise with
Andrew from Whattheheck to ascertain whether or not there is an alternative
method for using Stripe whereby the player is charged the fee when entering
instead of it being deducted before it is paid on to us.
2x4x2 Mixed Pairs:
All entry fees have been received. Tauranga South and Tauranga Club’s have
been paid their hosting fees. Three Umpires who officiated at the preliminary
games have not yet been paid. One Umpire declined payment. Further hosting
and umpire’s fees will be paid once the finals have been completed.
Centre Open Triples:
The Triples were postponed due to inclement weather. The Operations
Committee are searching for another date and once that is established Eddie
will contact all Skips with the new dates.
Baywide Sevens:
It was disappointing that only 8 clubs had paid their entry fees before the
tournament commenced. Entry fees were received from Papamoa, Katikati,
Matua, Te Puke, Ohope, Tauranga, Kawerau and Tauranga South. Eddie is
contacting the clubs that have not yet paid.
Centre Open Singles – 18th December 2021:
To date we have entries from 3 women and 14 men. Last season the Women’s
Singles generated a loss and it would appear that this year will be no different.
Levies:
To date only 8 clubs have paid their annual levies. The invoices sent to club’s
state that payment is due by 30 November 2021. Eddie is sending reminder
emails to the club’s who have not yet paid.
Representative’s Team Outgoings:
Mileage claims for both Premier and Junior mileage claims for travel to Te
Aroha and Waihi respectively will be processed and paid as soon as they are
received. Mileage is paid at .40cents per kilometre.
Representative Fixture at Katikati – 15th January 2022:
Provision will be made for reimbursement to Katikati club for Green Hire and
also for catering afternoon tea. Umpires will receive payment for their services.
Craig’s Investment Partners will be invited to attend the fixture and speak
during the lunch break.
Budget:
The budget has been updated as much as we can forsee. We will have a clearer
idea once we know if we will receive funds this season from Lion Foundation
and Craigs Investment Partners.
FINANCE & ADMIN REPORT – 31 DECEMBER 2021

Baywide Sevens:
Ngongotaha still owes $400.00 being the balance of their Baywide Sevens
entry fee.
Umpires - No payment has been made to Ricky Martin – Is this Regg Martin?
Affiliation Levies:
To date 5 Clubs have still not paid their annual levies, these being Katikati,
Ngongotaha, Opotiki, Te Puke and Turangi. The invoices sent to club’s state
that payment is due by 30 November 2021. Eddie has sent reminder emails to
the club’s who have not yet paid.
Budget:
No further update until Lion Foundation and Craigs Investment Partners
Grant/Sponsorship has been confirmed.
Coaches/Selectors:
Need to establish payments. Last year $2500.00 being 5 payments of $500.00
Players Contributions:
Need to establish Players Contributions and advise/invoice them
