Queen's Baton Visit

Members turned out in force on the hottest day ever to welcome the Queen's Baton as it visited Lilleshall on its nationwide tour ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

Being smartly attired in our club shirts we were asked to form a horseshoe "guard of honour" and fire the volley of confetti canons over the torch bearers.

We were particularly pleased to see our friend, gymnast Joe Fraser, amongst the bearers and several members took the opportunity to speak to him once the baton was safely on its way. Joe had previously visited our green with his Olympic colleagues just before they departed for the games in Tokyo.
