Incorrect. There is _no_ requirement to become incorporated. There are 
numerous clubs/groups/societies out there receiving sponsorship without 
such status. Becoming an Incorporated Society merely removes the onus of 
liability from the members running the club/group, and places it with 
the Society itself (among many other benefits).
