ABSTRACT

Most members serve a term of two years, although about half continue for a longer period. They are recruited into the organization in a number of ways. A few are asked by the heads of the neighbourhood association to join. Others, whether by intermediary or through personal acquaintanceships, are approached by people already in the sports committee.
