Members also need to recognise and pass on their experience to enthuse others to take on the role of organisers and participate in organising teams.

Such organisers and teams will recognise the constraints/impacts of public contractors and the community at large to deliver events and competitions that will deliver fun, satisfaction and enjoyment for all.

To utilise a variety of experience and learning situations in a safe environment to equip Plus members with the skills to organise large scale events.
