From 2012 2016 I played in the Men s first team squad. From 2012 2017 I ve coached junior football across First Kicks and Fun Football and last season I coached a 9 th Grade Development team which included taking a team to the Nationals in Auckland. This year I m coaching one of the 10 th grade Development Plus teams. I live in Woodend with my wife Amy and we have 3 kids who all play football at the Club. I currently work as a Marketing Manager for SBS Bank and have a strong background in events, advertising and sponsorship. Skills I can bring to the table to help add value to the club. I have a strong desire to see the club succeed and grow, so that it can facilitate the growth of Football in North Canterbury region. I m a strong believer in helping communities we live in thrive and this Club performs an important role in this. 5 P a g e
If elected I would work to ensure the community focus is retained and improved on at the club, that the board serve in the interest of its members by allowing access to all people and families to play Football. This spans right through from social levels through to Development and Senior levels. If we do this, success will come. o Nathan Jones Sport Coaching/Playing: I have coached at Waimak for the last 9 years, at various times coaching both of my son s teams. In addition I have played football from the age of 7 to the current day, as well as playing Premier Grade cricket in Christchurch for 15 years finishing in 2004. I still play cricket for the Woodend Div 3 side and coach my younger son s North Canterbury Year 7 Rep team. I hold a Level 1 Referee s certificate, and a Junior Level Two Coaching certificate. Work History: I currently work for a Global Travel Provider (HotelBeds) as the NZ Country Manager, managing Head Office relationships at the likes of Flight Centre, Helloworld, Cruiseabout, House of Travel and YOU Travel among others. I have been there for the last 12 years, prior to that I spent four years as the Marketing Manager for a Team Building and Conference Company, and before that as the Marketing Manager for two years for Wellington Cricket. Board/Committee Experience: I spent 20 years on the Board of the Lancaster Park Woolston Cricket Club, predominantly as the Secretary ending my tenure there in 2014. o Andrew Lough I would like to be considered for the vacant board position. I have been involved with the club for 6 years, with both of my sons playing football. Recognising that a successful club needs more than just supportive parents on the sidelines, I have also coached and managed teams over the last few years. I am a supportive of the club's move to strengthen its player development program and have attained coaching qualifications (Junior level 2) to be more effective in my contributions in this area. I have experience volunteering with other sporting codes, and I'm currently on the committee of the Ohoka Tennis Club where I manage the in-house junior program. In my work life as a manager of software engineering teams I have many years of experience in project management, financial administration and general governance. I welcome the opportunity to step up my contribution to WUFC. 6 P a g e
