The activities within our Club since my last report have been truly
remarkable, not only did they demonstrate the animation that
exists within the Club’s unique ambiance but also the visible joy and
experience apparent with Members and patrons.
The traditional Castagne and Wine Festival in April and the annual
celebrations of our Italian Republic Day in June were well received
even though the weather was less than favourable on our Republic
Day. Once again, the 56th Club Birthday Dinner and Lunch was a
great success and well attended. It was a pleasure to celebrate the
occasion with our wonderful Members and friends with a great time
had by all.
Our Republic Day celebrations have captivated the general media as
well as our local and neighbouring communities.

The World Cup Football programme at our Club has been an
enormous success, it provided our Members and their guests with
the opportunity to enjoy and share the passion of the various national
teams and the enthusiasm this major world event attracts.
I want to publically thank our Management and Staff for the
professional way they have organized and delivered these special
events, the quality delivery of these events attests to the special
dedication and qualities that our staff possesses.
In my last report, I advised that the Board was seeking Expressions
of Interest for a Joint Venture Partner to identify strategies and
opportunities to maximise the future potential of the Club’s
property. The Board of Directors received 6 submissions which
were shortlisted to two, both consortiums presented professional
proposals and after profound scrutiny and deliberation the Board of
Directors selected the well- established and credentialed consortium
of Bluestone and Capital Corporation, to guide you the Members
in evaluating this visionary development. Their websites are
www.bluestonegroup.com.au and www.capitalcorporation.com.au
The Board of Directors are fully committed to keeping you, the
Members, informed on this joint venture. The Club will be organising
Member and key stakeholder forums whereby you can contribute,
comment and express opinions that will assist you to fully understand
the merits of this exciting venture. This information process is
designed to allow you to make an informed decision when it is time
to approve.
On your next visit to our Club and while we are enjoying our Club’s
warmth and hospitality, I look forward to discussing your views on
this project.
Don’t forget the “Alfa Romeo Car Give-Away” which commences
1 October, swipe your card and you can win the Alfa Romeo Guilietta.

Club President
Le attivita’ del Club dalla mia ultima relazione sono state veramente
eccezionali e non solo hanno evidenziato l’entusiasmo che esiste
nella positiva atmosfera del Club ma anche la contentezza, gioia e
soddisfazione dei soci e dei frequentatori.
Nonostante le condizioni climatiche non ci siano state favorevoli la Festa
delle Castagne e del Vino del mese di Aprile e i festeggiamenti per
la Festa della Repubblica hanno fatte registrare un enorme successo
e cosi’ pure si puo’ dire della Festa per il 56esimo Compleanno del
Club dove c’e’ stata una grossa affluenza di pubblico con tutti i soci
che si sono spensieratamente divertiti. La Festa della Repubblica ha
attirato l’interesse delle comunita’ limitrofe ed e’ stata largamente
pubblicizzata dai vari giornali e stazioni radio di Sydney.
Il programma preparato in occasione della Coppa del Mondo di
Calcio ha fatto registrare un enorme successo consentendo ai soci
e ai loro amici di dividere la passione per le varie squadre nazionali
e seguire con entusiasmo un cosi’ importante evento sportivo di
caratura mondiale. Desidero ringraziare pubblicamente il personale
dirigenziale e operativo per avere seguito con dedizione e grande
professionalita’ il programma, inizialmente preparato, per tutta la
durata dei Campionati Mondiali.
Durante la mia ultima relazione vi avevo accennato che il Consiglio
d’Amministrazione del Club cercava “Expressions of Interest” per una
“joint venture” congiunta per cercare di identificare le strategie e le
opportunita’ per capitalizzare nel modo migliore le future potenzialita’
delle proprieta’ del Club. Il Consiglio d’Amministrazione ha ricevuto
6 proposte interessanti che poi sono diventate solo due per la nostra
attenta disamina. I due consorzi hanno presentato la loro proposta in
modo veramente professionale e cio’ ha reso piu’ difficile la decisione
del Consiglio d’Amministrazione che alla fine ha scelto il progetto
di Bluestone e Capital Corporation, che guideranno, voi soci, a
comprendere meglio questo eccezionale progetto. I web sites sono:
www.bluestonegroup.com.au e www.vapitalcorporation.com.au.
E’ intenzione del Consiglio d’Amministrazione di tenere sempre ben
informati i soci riguardo questa “joint venture” e al riguardo verranno
organizzati al Club dei “forums” per i soci ed eventuali azionisti durante
i quali ogni socio potra’ esprimere le proprie idee ed opinioni. Questa
iniziativa consentira’ a voi soci di avere le necessarie informazioni in
vista dell’importante di approvare.
In occasione della vostra prossima visita, finche’ goderete
dell’accogliente ospitalita’ del Club, sara’ per me un enorme piacere
poter discutere con voi i punti principali di questo esaltante progetto.
Non dimenticatevi di partecipare alla promozione “Alfa Romeo Car
Give-Away” che iniziera’ il 1 Ottobre e che consentira’ ad un fortunato
socio di vincere una prestigiosa Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Per partecipare,
ogni volta che farete visita alClub, bastera’ introdurre la vostra tessera
di socio nelle apposite macchinette che registreranno il vostro nome
per il sorteggio finale.

Sports President’s Report
Mario Soligo
Cari soci,
Dear Members
As we are nearing the end of the winter sports season Club Marconi
Sports has once again had a successful year.
The Ladies & Men’s Bocce Association recently held their Bocciofila
presentation with over 50 Members being awarded trophies for their
sporting endeavours over the Bocciofila tournaments. The night was a
great success with great food and dancing. Special thanks is extended
to the Men’s Bocce Captain, Joe Rozzo, and Ladies Bocce Captain,
Adriana Brunetta, and their respective Committees for a wonderful year
of Bocce events and functions.
Thanks to the Federazione Italiana Bocce and Marconi Bocce
Members, Club Marconi had the privileged of Italian Bocce coach,
Massimo Serafini, visit our Club and observe our facilities and coaching
techniques. I am certain that this experience will place us in a strong
position for the Marconi & President’s Cup to be held on the 23 & 24
August 2014.
Carpet Bowls, under the guidance of Captain Giovanna Piva and
her Committee, continue to grow in numbers with their Wednesday
tournaments demonstrating their competitive spirit. Well done.
The Marconi Cards Association recently held their annual Amiciza
Day with Club Italia at Club Marconi. Thank you to Peter Brisot, Lina
Marcon and their Committee for a successful tournament and year so
far. We look forward to the return competition at Club Italia.
The Borella Association continues to keep a busy schedule with various
tournaments and sponsored events. It is also with enthusiasm that
we see the Borella Association include ladies in competition, bringing
a new dimension and competitive edge to the sport. Thank you to
Captain, Luigi Volpato, his committee and volunteers for their tireless
efforts and commitment to their sport.
Our Snooker Association has also been extremely active with many
internal and external competitions. The NSW Snooker Championships
were recently held with our Roger Fairbrother taking out the title.
Congratulations to Jim Ruisi and his Committee for a job well done.
Marconi Golf recently held their annual Christmas in July Fundraiser
with all monies raised being donated to Children’s Cancer. Thank you
again to Captain, Philip Stabile and his Committee.
Marconi Mustangs, under the guidance of President, Tony Trimboli and
his Committee were selected to be part of the Footy Show. Thank you
guys for your enthusiasm and for demonstrating the Marconi Spirit!!!
Ci stiamo avvicinando alla conclusione della stagione sportiva invernale
e possiamo dire che il Club Marconi Sport ha ancora una volta fatto
registrare un anno ricco di successi.
L’Associazione “Ladies and Men Bocce” ha recentemente tenuto la
“Bocciofila Presentation Night” durante la quale oltre 50 soci sono
stati premiati per i successi ottenuti nei vari tornei di bocce cui hanno
partecipato. La serata e’ stata un grande successo con ottimo cibo e buona
musica da ballo. Ringraziamenti speciali vanno a Joe Rozzo e ad Adriana
Brunetta, rispettivamente capitano dei “Men’s Bocce” e capitana delle
“Ladies Bocce” e ai loro rispettivi comitati per il pregevole lavoro svolto
durante l’anno nell’organizzare tornei ed eventi speciali. Inoltre mi sembra
doveroso ringraziare la Federazione Italiana Bocce e il Club Marconi Bocce
per avere dato l’opportunita’ al nostro Club di ospitare l’allenatore
Massimo Serafini che ha potuto vedere e giudicare le facilitazioni del
nostro bocciodromo e le tecniche di allenamento dei nostri soci.
La Carpet Bowl Association, sotto la guida di Giovanna Piva e del suo
comitato continua ad aumentare il numero di affiliati che ogni mercoledi’
gareggiano con spirito davvero competitivo.
L’ Associazione delle Carte recentemente ha tenuto l’annuale torneo
“Amicizia Day” con il Club Italia. In attesa dell’incontro di ritorno in
quel di Lansvale, desidero ringraziare Peter Brisot, Lina Marcon e i loro
comitati per un anno che e’ stato ricco di successi.
L’ Associazione della Borella non solo continua ad avere un folto
programma di eventi e di tornei ma non smette di stupire con l’avere
aperto le competizioni anche alle donne portando questo sport ad una
nuova dimensione. Ringrazio il capitano Luigi Volpato e il suo comitato per
gli instancabili sforzi ed energie profuse per il progresso di questo sport.
Sempre molto attiva la nostra Snooker Association che partecipa a tornei
casalinghi ma anche in trasferta. Recentemente il nostro socio Roger
Fairbrother ha vinto il titolo nel torneo “NSW Snooker Championship” .
Congratulazioni vanno a lui, a Jim Ruisi e al suo comitato per un lavoro
ben fatto.
Va enormemente encomiata l’iniziativa del Marconi Golf in favore
dell’organizzazione Children’s Cancer. Grazie infinite di nuovo al capitano
Philip Stabile e al suo comitato.
E che dire poi dei Marconi Mustangs che sotto la guida del presidente
Tony Trimboli e del suo comitato sono stati capaci di venire selezionati
a far parte di un Footy Show. Grazie ragazzi per l’entusiasmo e per avere
evidenziato ancora una volta lo spirito sportive che esiste al Club Marconi.
Be reminded that the Annual Sports Presentation will be held on
Saturday, 1st November, 2014. I encourage you all to attend this
special event where we take the opportunity to recognize the various
sports and their achievements at Local, State and National level.
Desidero sollecitarvi a prendere parte in gran numero alla Annual Sports
Presentation Night in programma sabato 1 Novembre perche’ durante
questo importante evento verra’ reso il dovuto riconoscimento ai vari
sports del club e a quei atleti che durante l’anno hanno ottenuto
successi a livello locale, statale e nazionale.
A special thanks to Vicki Fontana and her family who have been raising
money, together with various Associations, for charities and also
sponsoring various sports in the name of the Late President, Frank
Fontana.
Un ringraziamento speciale va a Vicky Fontana e alla sua famiglia per
avere sponsorizzato vari eventi sportivi in memoria dello scomparso
presidente Frank Fontana e per avere raccolto, assieme ad altre
Associazioni, una discreta quantita di fondi da devolvere in beneficenza.
In closing I would like to thank management, staff and volunteers for
their continued dedication to Marconi Sports within our Club and to my
Sports Committee for their continued support.
Nel concludere questa mia relazione desidero ringraziare il personale
dirigenziale e operativo, i numerosi volontari per la loro continua e
costante dedizione al Marconi Sport, e il mio Comitato Sportivo per l’
apprezzatissima collaborazione ricevuta.

Football Chairman’s Report
Robert Carniato
Since my last report, a lot has been happening in the world of football at Club Marconi, both off and on the field.
Firstly, we are sad to announce the departure of our First Grade Head Coach, Darren Iocca who had resigned from in position in May. Darren has
been involved in the club for over 20 years both as a former Marconi player and a coach. On behalf of the Football Committee, we would like to
thank Darren for his hard work and commitment, and we wish him the very best for the future.
The Football Committee is proud to appoint Paul Carter as the Marconi Stallions Senior Head Coach for the remainder of the 2014 season. Paul is
no stranger to Club Marconi, having being a former Marconi-Fairfield defender that was a part of the 1988 and 1989 NSL Championship winning
team. Paul brings an extensive coaching skill set to the Stallions Football Program. On behalf of the Football Committee and Football Office, we
would like to welcome Paul back home.
Alongside Paul, we would also like to welcome Alex McPherson to the Marconi Stallions who has been appointed as the First Grade Assistant
Coach. Alex’s background comes from coaching within the Illawarra League and also being a former NSL Goalkeeper, most notably with Parramatta
Melita Eagles. We welcome Alex to the Marconi Stallions Team.
Within our Boys and Girls Youth League, this second round of fixtures has been a great improvement over the first. Whilst we are sitting mid table
on the club championship, our quality and development of football in which our players are producing are still competitive and of a very decent
standard. As I may have mentioned in previous reports, whilst results are important to a certain extent, what is most important is providing an
excellent service that provides progressive learning and development for all of our footballers within the program.
I would personally like to thank all the sponsors and supporters for your generous contribution and ongoing support to our players within the
senior squads and the players within the Marconi Stallions Program. I also would like to thank Jesse Mariani and Klaus Okon in our Football Office,
who have been working tirelessly to ensure that all of our football operations are running smoothly. I would like to extend my appreciation and
thanks to all of our coaches, managers and football staff for their efforts and hard work.
Yours in Football,
Rob Carniato
Football Chairman
The Marconi Stallions Football Committee

Italian Rebulic
Day Festa 2014
Club Marconi celebrated the biggest
day on the Club’s calendar. over 15,000
people from our diverse community
cAme together AND celebrated this
iconic Italian Republic Day on Sunday
1st June, 2014.
The day commenced with a commemorative mass
delivered by Father Anthony. The celebration of
Italian independence continued thereafter with a
variety of entertainment which included the Bossley
Park High School Choir singing the Australian National
Anthem followed by other entertainers throughout
the day including Frank Debellis, Claudio Sandrelli
and Tony Sergi with additional roaming entertainers
Fratelli Del Sud and Circus Solarus.
An Italian Republic Day can only be celebrated with a
variety of traditional Italian food stalls which included
Italian biscotti, gelato, gingerbread, cannoli, nougat,
gnocchi, pizza and pasta. These Italian stalls were
complimented by other cultural foods of South American
dishes, Turkish gozleme and Vietnamese cuisine.
June 1st 2014
The young were well catered for with the
engagement of a number of festival rides, jumping
castles, pony rides and a petting zoo. For the soccer
fanatics, Western Sydney Wanderers also conducted
coaching clinics.
Once again the Italian vintage Fiat Car Club attended
the day with over 100 vehicles. The Italian Republic
Day sponsors, Peter Warren Fiat Alfa, also provided the
Abarth racing car for the racing enthusiasts as well as an
array of Ducati motorcycles from the Ducati Club.
The day was well run by our MC Tony Di Marti with
Frank Calabria winning a mini Ducati and Karina Basso
winning a wedding dress donated by Collezione Santina
in Alexandria valued at $4,500.
Paulo Rajo from Rete Italia broadcasted live during the
day and the celebration culminated with a spectacular
fireworks display by Foti International Fireworks.
The day was a great success much due to the
wonderful support of Peter Warren Fiat Alfa, Club
Marconi and the members and guests who attended
and enjoyed the celebrations.
Thank you to all and we hope to see you next year.

CYCLING
After a successful winter night series Marconi
Cycling Club is taking a well-earned break
and scheduled to return to night racing in
October. However this hasn’t stopped our riders
dominating races around the state.
One of our up and coming juniors Anthony
Tononcelli is having a great year so far. He
recently received the Western Sydney Academy
of Sport’s Athlete of the Year award for cycling.
Anthony, 15, rides with the Cycling Association along with his father
and older brother. The Cecil Hills boy is now riding high and is
regarded as one of the future top road-racing cyclists.
Anthony received the award for his improvement, participation
and good attitude in training and competition. At club level he has
leapfrogged from D grade to B grade in less than a year.
Anthony started riding at 11 and only joined the Western Sydney
Academy of Sport in 2013, where his progress to date has been
exceptional. He is being coached by Nash Kent and Mark Craig, with
a watchful eye from Brad McGee.
Part of Anthony’s development includes track training at the Dunc
Gray Velodrome. If his road riding prowess is any indication, we
should see some fantastic results in this arena as well.
Other club riders have been competing in weekly events held by
Waratah Masters and recently Matt Cartwright has come into some
form and is showing the other clubs how it is done by placing first
at a Waratah event held at Lansdowne. On social media he states
he is now thinking it’s time to move from C grade and give B grade
a crack.
Phone: 02 9822 3322 | [email protected]
Helping keep the club colours amongst the bunch and helping Matt
has been Glenn Gorman and Vic Tucciarone to name a couple. There
are always too many people to name so to all the members racing at
the moment keep up the good work.

LADIES BOCCE
Welcome to the Spring Edition.
As you can see Ladies Bocce has been very busy over the last
few months.
Firstly the Bocciofila Presentation Dinner was a great night. The
company and the dinner were enjoyed by all. Thank you to the
Club for an enjoyable evening.
We held a Pasta and Pizza lunch one Wednesday. A big thank you to
the chef for preparing a delicious meal and for the staff who helped
out. Once again we enjoyed the meal then we had an enjoyable
afternoon playing Bocce. A special thank you to the helpers too.
Our Singles Club Championships were held and luckily for me, Ann,
I came first. We were very pleased for Maria Floro who was the
runner-up. This is Maria’s first trophy so it was an achievement for
her. Well done Maria!
Every Wednesday at 11am we have the pleasure of showing a
group of disabled guests how to play Bocce. It is such an enjoyable
morning with them and we look forward to this meeting every week.
Thank you to our helpers, Angelo and Lorenza.

RUGBY LEAGUE
Season 2014 has been a busy year. We started the season with
Registrations and were fortunate enough to have two of Parramatta’s
finest players, Will Hopoate and Manu Mai, meet and greet some
of our Mustang boys at Club Marconi. Marconi Mustangs play in the
Parramatta District competition so it’s great to see support from first
grade players towards junior league.
The start of the footy season also means the return of one of the best
sporting shows about rugby league on television being “The Footy
Show” on Channel 9. It’s not an easy task getting your junior rugby
league club on the show but luckily for our Under 11’s, they were
able to experience and be part of the show this year.
One sunny Monday afternoon, with the grounds looking very green
and lush, “The Big Marn” Darryl Brohman and the Footy Show film
crew came out to Marconi Park. They spent some time filming our
boys for The Small Talk segment. This is a popular part of the show
where The Big Marn asks the boys questions about everything and
anything. Obviously, the view points of 10-11 year old boys can be
quite amusing as they have a very different idea about life, love and
literally everything else in between. It’s a shame we will never get
to see the full version of their insights as they spent over an hour
with the boys. The session finished off with a Brainstrain Challenge
between our boys Lorenzo & Fatih. Lorenzo came out the winner. It
was aired that Thursday night and we have to admit we loved having
our club’s exposure on prime time television.
Will Hopoate, Nicholas Spinnato, Matthew Spinnato, Jacob Muller &
Manu Mai
The Footy Show presented our club with a $1,000 cheque which we
will happily use to help fund new equipment. The boys were also
the first team to receive great sponsor jackets from the show. The
experience was definitely a highlight for our boys and our club. Big
thanks to everyone involved.
We wish all the teams the best of luck for the remainder of the
season. Lets go Mustangs!

CHOIR
Coro Marconi heading to the Opera House
Every year is a busy year for the Coro Marconi as its reputation for
excellence spreads even beyond Sydney, to Melbourne, Adelaide,
Perth and even in Italy.
No one, however, would have thought that we would be invited
to sing at the Sydney Opera House as part of Opera Australia’s
Community Choir project. The project funded by the Australian
Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, aims to
bring choirs from Western Sydney together for a Spectacular
performance at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday 1st November
2014. The performance will also include soloists from Opera Australia
and the Opera and Ballet Orchestra.
The choir is now working hard to lean the new repertoire for this
event, while keeping up an already busy performance schedule. The
dedication of the choir members attending rehearsals every week,
especially through the cold, dark winter months, is the reason the
choir goes from strength to strength and is much in demand for many
events, both religious and non-religious, within the Italian community.
Such as the 60th Anniversary Celebrations for L’Emigrazione Giuliana
nel Mondo, held in Wollongong on Sunday 10th August . A grand
event held in the Fraternity Club with people attending from all over
Australia. The choir’s performance was so well received it created a
demand for copies of our CD.
The CD of is of folk songs and Opera choruses professionally
recorded by the Choir in 2012, with the support of Club Marconi.
At $15 it makes an ideal gift to send overseas, or for that member
of the family that is difficult to buy for. It can be purchased every
Thursday at Club Marconi, Elettra Lounge where the choir rehearses
from 7 – 9 pm.
New members are always welcome. Please contact the choir
secretary Maddelena Ietri for details Ph: 9610 5503.
Ci vediamo!
