The second (hopefully Annual) “Back to Annerley” day will be held at the Senior Club on Saturday afternoon the 26th May.
This is a special weekend for the club as we have both our Premier Mens and Womens teams playing as follows:
3.00pm – Womens Diamond League vs Taringa Rovers
5.00pm – Mens Premier Division Two Reserves vs Newmarket
7.15pm – Mens Premier Division Two Seniors vs Newmarket
We have already been in contact with some former members including Don Look, Pauline Hurst, Rex, Ray Hunt, Dave Forsyth and Crofty, so if you know of any other former players, and in particular life members and volunteers who have supported the club over the years please pass the word around as it would be great to get them to attend.
Like last year we plan to have some of our junior team members play Small Sided Games at half time in the Diamond League match and prior to the start of the Premier Two match and we have invited PaulyTV to cover the games if scheduling permits.
It should be a great afternoon with some fantasitic football so we look forward to seeing you there.

We are pleased to announce the we have appointed 2 new senior coaches to our premier men’s and premier women’s teams.
Roy Wiseman will lead our senior men’s coaching ranks. He has a distinguished background at both South’s United (at a Premier League level) and Capalaba Bulldogs, and has been involved in player development at all levels and age groups. He holds a “B” level coaching licence and is excited by the mix of players currently playing at Annerley and is looking forward to helping them achieve the best results possible on the field with a view to playing regular finals football and pressing for promotion in the future.
Phil Canham will take over as coach of our Diamond League Premier Women’s team. He has recently been involved in coaching at a variety of levels in women’s football and is currently the U14 Coach for the Central Brisbane FC JPL after a successful season last year with the U12 team. He currently holds a “C” level licence and soon to participate at the National Futsal championships as the FQ Coach for the Youth Womens team.
Both coaches are currently developing plans for preseason training which will commence in November for the Premier Men’s and December for the players looking to play in the Women’s Diamond League.

Whats your thoughts
The Annerley Recreation Club has been participating in the initial phases of work being undertaken on the Norman Creek 2026 Project. In an Australian first, Brisbane City Council is planning the rejuvenation of an entire inner-city catchment – Norman Creek. This catchment of almost 30 square kilometres takes in some of the city’s busiest and most developed neighbourhoods and includes the suburbs of Mt Gravatt, Tarragindi, Holland Park West, Holland Park, Annerley, Camp Hill, Greenslopes, Woolloongabba, Coorparoo, Norman Park and East Brisbane
This project has the potential to significantly impact on our club which is in the middle of the catchment and as you are all aware impacted directly by the concrete drain that forms much of Norman Creek.
Council is currently seeking community feedback on the recently released Draft Vision and Concept Plan. Once finalised this vision will guide master planning and future investment. I strongly encourage all members and anyone with an interest in the local community to read the Draft Vision and Concept Plan and to participate in the on-line survey and have your say on the future of the Norman Creek Catchment.
Link to the survey: http://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/environment-waste/plans-projects/NormanCreek2026/index.htm
At the end of the survey please indicate that you are from the the Annerley Recreation Club as this will help us gauge the level of interest in the project and the way in which we distribute information to members.
NB – Survey Closes 26th August 2011

Well a great night had by all at the recent back to Annerley night and quite a success.
It was good to see the number of junior club members come along to play under lights and watch the reserve grade team battle it out with KPR for a 2 – 0 win before watching the seniors in a close encounter go down 0 – 1 to KPR.
Importantly however the night was a great opportunity for the club to recognise the effots it’s most recent Life Member.
Dave Melville who is currently the DOC at the juniors was acknowledged for his significant contribution to the club over many years. Since joining as a junior he hs played almost all of his life for the club and held coaching and managing positions at all levels including a number of years as the clubs Senior Team coach where he successfully managed to get the club back to the Premier Div 2 level from Metro 1.
Dave’s contribution to the Club should be an inspiration to all parents and players and serves as a constant reminder that you only get out what you put in.
The ARC Committee is extremely gratefully for Dave’s longstanding contribution to the club and was able to thank him with a gift voucher from the LightHouse Restaurant who are a long time sponsor of the senior club.

In July 2009 the Annerley Recreation Club was successful in applying for funding to install water tanks and an irrigation pump for the senior fields. The majority of this work was completed in Dec 2009 and after some minor works on the field’s irrigation the new system is now fully operational and we have already emptied the tanks twice.
The installation of this key infrastructure allows the club to place less reliance on town water supplies to maintain the field and allows us to now look at further projects to source water from alternative sources.
The completion of this project could not have been undertaken without the assistance of Turf Irrigation Services, Quality Tanks, and the Community Benefit Fund. Further details and photes of the project are available under the “major projects” page of the Annerley Recreation Club tab.

During 2009 the Queensland Government through the Department of Sport and Recreation provided funding to assist the club in developing the club through the conduct of sessions in local schools.
The sessions were run by “Coolsport” during November and December 2009 in anticipation of the 2010 sign on season.
The club acknowledges the support of the Queensland Government in this initiative the benefits of which can be measured by the success of the recent sign on days.

| The Annerley Recreation Club (ARC) continues to work towards season 2010 with the commissioning of a new lighting switchboard funded by local councillor Ian McKenzie (pictured) and the Lord Mayor’s Suburban Initiative Fund.
The new switchboard, installed by N&P Contracting, replaced the original installed in the mid 1970’s but which had become unsafe. It includes a timer to ensure greater control over the use of the lights, access to power points for events like the annual refugee day, and provides for future upgrades and improvements to services on the field.
With the senior club recently winning the inaugural Football Brisbane Club of the Year Award and with junior sign-on scheduled for the end of January, the club is well positioned for a great season with the completion of a number of projects including the switchboard replacement, aeration and topdressing of the clubs fields, installation of junior field dugouts and water tanks for the senior field, and upgrading the mains power supply to the junior field lights. |

The Annerley Recreation Club’s recent open day provided an opportunity for the Club to thank their local Councillor for Holland Park Ward, Mr Ian McKenzie. Councillor McKenzie was able to help the club earlier in the year with funding to replace goal posts as part of a major upgrade of Elder Oval used by Senior Club.
Also attending was Simon Finn MP the Labor State Member for the neighbouring seat of Yeerongpilly. The evening also provided an opportunity for members of the club to seek feedback and advice on grant funding applications and to discuss local issues including the availability of parks and reserves for public use, maintenance of club facilities, the eastern busway and commuter parking.
Pictured are Robert Monteverde, Simon Finn MP, Kevin Hannan, Councillor Ian McKenzie, Alan Binks, Dave Forsyth.
