Hope all well

After a very blustery night with some small damage to our roof and trees down we are fine. I hope this is true of all our families.
Wishing you all well.

T - Shirts

Hello all,

t-shirts should be done tomorrow.  You can swing by the pool and pick it up after 4 PM if they are done.  Don't forget to pay if you have not paid yet.

 

15.00 for swimmers

25.00 for all others

8.00 for just the logo printed on a t-shirt

 

IMPORTANT! All the t-shirts were rinsed in hot and cold water to set the dye.  BUT PLEASE WASH SEPERATELY THE FIRST TIME!  The color may bleed.

 

If anyone brought a bucket, it will be in the back of my van over the swim meet.

 

Thanks,

 

Coach Tom

Saint Lucia Team at the CWG, Dehli

Saint Lucia's team for the Commonwealth Games arrived in Delhi on the morning of Thursday 30th September, and was honoured with a formal welcome to the Commonwealth Games Athlete Village that same evening. Five teams were officially welcomed at this ceremony, Bermuda, Guernsey, Jamaica, Uganda and St. Lucia.

The ceremony opened with cultural dancers performing a number of routines, before St. Lucia's Chef de Mission, Teddy Matthews, was called up onto the stage at the Village auditorium to be formally welcomed by the Village Mayor. Mr. Matthews was presented with a miniature of the Commonwealth Games Baton, that was carried through all countries of the Commonwealth, including St. Lucia in March. Mr. Matthews in turn presented the Mayor with a carved wooden plaque of the Pitons, and gave a short and gracious address. The St. Lucian flag was then raised, and the National Anthem played.

More dancing followed, and a guest appearance was made by the Games mascot, Shera, who joined the St. Lucia team for a group photograph. Commonwealth Games Federation Caribbean Vice-President, Fortuna Belrose, was amongst the many VIP's who joined the welcome ceremony.

Team members now have two days of preparation before the official opening ceremony on Sunday, with the first sporting events beginning on Monday.

This is the press release from the CWG.

Danni had not arrived at this point. (Top Photo)

All the best
