Local sports associations must plan well in advance for the new year

Sports associations must be more organised on how they run their events in the new year.

Every year, the Government requests sports associations to submit their financial budgets at the beginning of the year, but only a handful usually comply with this requirement. Instead, what most associations do is wait for the last minute before making frantic efforts as they put out financial appeals to organisations and the Government to sponsor events that they were well aware of months before.
