Men's and Combined Association
There have been many changes to the nature of the Committees over the years. There have always been office bearers such as Secretary and Treasurer, but the nature of the Committee of management has changed. The Association until the 1990s held a monthly meeting of the clubs and so many of the management decisions were made with direct club input.
The incorporation of the Association required the divestment of management responsibilities to a Committee and so the role of the Clubs in management decison making was reduced.
Professional administration commenced in the early 1990s in a small way with the existing honorary secretary being remunerated. This qucikly became a full time position. Other employees were then were brought on to assist with the administration of the Association. This led the way for the Committee role to evolve to more of a Board role, supervsing the operations of the Association rather than managing a management role.
