Appeal for Commonwealth Baton Relay Volunteers

 

Cheshire East Council is looking to recruit volunteers to help support the Commonwealth Baton Relay in Congleton.

2014 Commonwealth Baton Relay

The Queen’s Commonwealth Baton is coming to Cheshire East.

Two years to the day since we hosted the 2012 Olympic Torch Relay, Congleton Park will be staging the 2014 Commonwealth Baton Relay.

On the 31 May 2012, 242 volunteers supported the safe and successful delivery of the Torch Relay on the roads and streets of Crewe, Congleton, Macclesfield and Knutsford.

This year, we are looking for another team effort to deliver this Commonwealth event.

All volunteers will be recruited, trained and deployed via the Leisure Development Volunteer Programme.

If you are interested in being a part of this event please contact the team via volunteers@cheshireeast.gov.uk alternatively, for more information please contact the Council’s Charlie Maines on 01625 383790.

Training dates have now been confirmed for April. However, spill over sessions for early May are in place as a contingency.
