Into the third year, the Games took upon a different format. The various series of sports competition was held over a period of three months. To encourage greater interaction amongst participants, Après-Games (after-games) gatherings were held after each event. Each Après-Game adopted a different theme and feel to create a relaxed environment for participants to interact and share personal experiences of the day over some refreshments. Following our tradition, ceremonies and rituals like the torching of Games fire and lighting the candles was introduced to bring people closer together spirituality in experiencing the ‘here and now' for that moment in time.
