Does your club ‘move’ and ‘second’ motions without knowing what it means? You’re not alone. Inspired by a question from a club volunteer, we discuss what makes a good motion and why it’s important.

Recovery tips for flooded sports clubs
Building sporting facilities on flood plains makes great sense… until it rains! And boy did it rain in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales on the weekend of 26 and 27 February 2022! The devastation caused by the floods really put a damper on what would otherwise have been another busy weekend of community sport. In the latest episode of CPR Group’s podcast, Basket Case Clubs, Michael and Steve put on their gloves and gumboots to share tips to help volunteers in their clean up and recovery efforts.
Why your committee needs club governance training
Whether it’s leaders in their early 20s in university clubs and societies, young parents at the community kindy, coaches at the local footy club or retirees running a golf club or craft society, all of these volunteers would be far better off if they had access to the best governance training; training to teach them things from how to run an effective meeting to preparing a club budget.
Master Plans in Action
What CAN clubs do?
COVID hit grassroots sports clubs hard. From having to adapt to new regulations to dealing with complete shutdowns, there was a lot to learn for the hard-working volunteers who run local clubs. As Australia prepares to get back on the field for full sporting seasons in 2022, it’s time for more clubs to use the lessons that COVID taught us about change, and apply them across their operations.

AGM Season
Free webinar - Be Grant Ready
We are excited to offer a free webinar. In this free webinar, we will explore the benefits of being proactive by starting with your project and being ready when the right grant comes along. Grant writing isn’t difficult, but it does take time. The better prepared you are, the easier it will be at application time. When you get the planning right, money is usually much easier to find and the projects are much easier to deliver.

Funding Success for Longreach Regional Council Childcare Centre

How can Councils benefit from an automated asset maintenance system
Councils often lease their assets to sports clubs and communities and once leased, these assets are hard to track, especially when using a manual asset management process. CPR Group has developed assetTRAC for exactly this reason. assetTRAC is smart and easy asset management software designed for Councils and sports clubs.

clubTRAC - Total Reporting and Control
Michael Connelly, our Managing Director, has been focusing his sights on something a little different of late. The big question has been; “Is your Council's approach to managing community leasing as good as it should be?”
If you manage leasing, or know someone who does, contact us to take part in our research project and become involved in the ongoing development of an automated, tailored one-stop-shop for community lessees - clubTRAC.
