Seems Glasgow is candidate city for CG2014. Now is a great opportunity to start the programe to get O into GC as a demonstration sport at least. There was a programme underway by BOF last year to have a Commonwealth Championships attached to WC2005 as a starting point but nothing has come of this I believe.
Previously I have been in contact with Australia etc & they have been in favour....

Good question........ because it's BOF that needs to process things.... so the subject needs to get on the BOF / SOA Agenda & it needs the support of the 4 home nations anyway... so anyone with any involvement with the English Orienteering Council should start thinking about the subject. I guess the 4 home nations should be in contact with thier respective Commonwealth Games Councils.

Being from Hamilton, Canada I like the idea of "O" in the Commonwealth Games. Hamilton hosted the first (as they were then known) British Empire Games in 1930 and we were a finalist to host the 2010 Games (lost out to Delhi).
We asked about including orienteering in the Hamilton bid but we didn't start early enough. So good luck there.
Keep us Canadians updated on any potential Commonwealth Cup.
