Wed, 28 Mar 2018

The Chief Minister has sent his best wishes to the Island's Commonwealth Games squad ahead of the start of the Gold Coast event.

The 33-member squad made its way to Australia earlier this month to acclimatise ahead of the opening ceremony, which takes place next week.

Howard Quayle described the games as a tremendous celebration of sport and that it will be a great moment to see the Manx flag paraded during the opening ceremony.

Mr Quayle added that the Island is proud of the team and wishes them all the best for the event.

Over 6,000 competitors will take part in the Games.
