Apr 2006	XIX Australian Sikh Games – SIKH FORUM – Saturday 15 April 06 Download ProgramÂ HERE SCA successfully organised the Sikh Forum at the 19th Australian Sikh Games. This forum was professionally conducted, with excellent speakers, experienced in their respective fields. Unfortunately, due to short notice given to SCA – no marketing/public awareness was done – neither by the Games Organisers nor by SCA. This resulted in very low numbers in audience. Nevertheless, those who could attend, were surprised at the high quality of speakers who could prepare and deliver their papers at the short notice!
