Commonwealth Baton

[Sheila S.]

How many orienteers have had, or will have, the privilege of carrying the Commonwealth Baton?

We know of two still to come:

Bill Stevenson (ESOC) is carrying it down a section of the High Street, Edinburgh, on Saturday 14th sometime around 11 am - 12 noon.

Robin Strain (ELO) is carrying it round part of the Meadowmill Sports & Athletics Arena, East Lothian on Tuesday 17th, also just after 11 am.

Who else?

Well done. Both very deserving of the recognition!

I've got a slot at 4.23pm on Thur 3 July at Kinloss thanks to nominations submitted by my club for which I'm very grateful and flattered.
There will be an orienteering demo at the Moray Baton finale celebrations in Cooper Park, Elgin from 5pm that day. Anyone who happens to be in the area please come!

Congrats to those concerned.

Not quite an orienteer, but one step removed:
I don't know if anyone from the Scottish Junior squad (or coaches) in the 80s remembers my sister Margaret Kewley CUNOC, but her daughter Nicole Burns was a Baton carrier on the Isle of Man leg. She's also in the IoM team in Gymnastics so give her a shout if you are watching.
