Association Administration

Applications to: The President, P.O. Box 56, Essendon 3040, closing Friday, 6th June.

In recent seasons, modest honorariums have been paid to three persons to undertake most of these responsibilities between them.

In 1996-97, the Association provided regular competition for 219 teams from 34 clubs in six sections from Under 10 to Veterans, as well as programs for the development of specially talented players in four of those sections.

The Association has developed its own systems for competition scheduling, results processing and administration which have operated on loaned Apple Macintosh computers, where documents and archives are also kept.

Applicants are asked to specify what office and computing facilities they would have access to and what they would require the Association to provide.

The bulk of the tasks to be undertaken must be carried out on schedule without fail.

The successful applicants will need to work effectively with various voluntary officials who make essential contributions to the operation of the Association.
