Col Trickle this memo may answer your questions as to where things are up to at present.
Dear Member Clubs, After several months of consultation and discussion on the matter of Bylaw 2.2 we summarise below what has been agreed and is to be implemented within HFI moving forward. On the 11th September 2017, Hills Football adopted a recommended By Law for 2.2. This By Law has been adopted by the Board and now forms part of our bylaws that will be in operation moving forward. On the 26th September 2017, Hills Football received a written letter from the CEO of FNSW recommending to us that they are seeking legal advice on the legality of the key issues in respect to the operation of academies within associations. As such, the HFI Board have agreed to follow the recommendation from FNSW that we hold a moratorium on the implementation of this bylaw until FNSW provides their position on how all Associations are to manage the operation of academies alongside delivery of football in NSW. As you would appreciate, this is an issue discussed widely across the football landscape and it is fair to say that the subject is extremely complicated with many legal, football and regulatory matters to consider. Hills Football will follow FNSW’s request to hold the moratorium for the implementation and enforcement of Bylaw 2.2. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks Kurt
Hills Football Inc Kurt Johnson General Manager

Cheers.
Seems bizarre that FNSW would intervene with HFI only? Thought they already had a clear guideline on what was allowed within their competitions, which one would assume is replicated/similar in other associations.
Possibly more to it?
Can't beat football politics.........

Can't beat football politics......... I am sure that Raymond Reddington would have some thoughts on the subject of subterfuge regarding FNSW politics. Are you still out there Raymond ?

Maybe Raymond has an opinion on the recent resignation of a HFA Director too?

The director that has resigned, (& shall remain nameless), as I think this is probably not the time or place for such announcements, should be congratulated on their contribution to Hills Football.& on a job well done. It must be remembered that before the next AGM, three directors must stand down, although they are then eligible for reelection. This resignation may just help simplify who those three directors will be.

Oracle - you are off the pace with this statement. The Director who has resigned has advised the reason why on his own Facebook page, and has nothing to do with the AGM date. Reading his post he talks about his principals and needing to sleep at night so can assume what he is referring to.
He is also one of the good guys and his departure has left a huge hole,to fill.
You refer to subterfuge on your previous post. A good choice of word provided it is aimed at the appropriate group.
The AGM is scheduled for April next year.

Make no mistake that much of the boards disparity is drawn from the subject of this thread. The outgoing director’s morals and ethics were clearly compromised at some point (stated by him). I think this whole academy argument needs to be aired and some leadership shown by the board. Those with the biggest stake in this debate should listen to what 15 clubs voted (in writing) on. With a large number of Directors now hailing from one club, arguably the club with the largest impact from a decision either way, I wonder how this will play out. One year in, all eyes on HFA. Not a great position where 2 or 3 ‘academy-friendly’ clubs from some 20-odd can hold the majority.

You refer to subterfuge on your previous post. A good choice of word provided it is aimed at the appropriate group. The AGM is scheduled for April next year. Lovefootball, I was aware that the resignation was for reasons that you have stated. The AGM was just a spin off issue. I was unaware though that a statement had been issued on Facebook & I was trying to act in a politically sensitive nature & show due respect to the director concerned for whom I have a great deal of admiration. I agree that the Board will be much poorer for the departure of the director concerned & there will be a huge hole to fill. I wish the departing director Good Luck. The use of the word subterfuge by me was used in the context of FNSW not the HFA but it sounds like you may have more insight & knowledge surrounding this issue. My concerns as a true believer in a Hills Association is that those in power do not lose sight of the reasons why we are here in the first place. Under the old SHFA there was a great camaraderie & united purpose. It was one for all & all for one. I hope HFA do not jeopardise this ethos as it is a major strength of our Association. Thanks for updating the situation as you always seem to have your finger on the pulse.

Wow - Disappointing but hardly surprising that one of the board members is having issues sleeping at night. Some disgraceful behaviour occurring recently, which will only be enhanced by the addition of another board member associated with one club.
12, 13 or 15 clubs (whatever the number, a clear majority) voted on a direction for Hills Football but due to several hands being tied, it appears the majority of clubs (whom the board ultimately report to) wishes counts for very little.
Oracle, nice sentiment but ethos was flushed down the toilet for self interest.

Some previous references to a particular club going against the grain. Can someone fill in the blanks for me?

Col, it looks like everyone is taking the politically correct line & avoiding answering your question. You may have to try & join the dots, discover the cryptic clues & work this one out yourself, & if you get it right you may be in line for a knighthood.

Another director resigns. Really sad that the fantastic work we all did in getting SHFA off the ground has been undone by bull and politics. There is serious division in the ranks at HFI and it's embarrassing

Agree with crazy. A terrible shame that the vision and unity could not continue. I think it's still there between the clubs (ever the optimist!), but the board is a diabolical mess. Sadly the division is driven by one club and their crusade to keep their academy in tact. The latest Director casualty is a major loss to our association, leaving an even greater proportion of 'single club leadership'. Embarrassing indeed.
