  • promote player ideas to improve the quality of the club for both players and visitors;
  • act as a channel of communication between players and Executive and promote positive interaction;
  • provide a forum to facilitate player recommendations for changes to club operations; and
  • assist in the development and or implementation of club initiatives where appropriate.

The PAC will;

  • not be a decision making forum;
  • not be a forum for the raising of individual grievance issues which should be resolved through other processes; and
  • the President will provide for the administration and control of a PAC.
