Thank you for your commonwealth games activity - it was a great help when we had our own Commonwealth games. We were lucky enough to have a lifestyle team member whose husband had participated in the baton relay at the 2000 Olympic Games and this was used for our baton relay where we walked the baton around the home taking it to residents who were unable to attend our activity and this was a unique and special occasion for photos. I used many of your events - fishing, paper plane throwing and one of our own fly swatter badminton (using a balloon). Staff events included balloon race and egg and spoon. There was controversy during wee tests - where staff were sent off to give specimens and these included blue, green and tea coloured wee. Residents were presented with a medal and flowers by our special Royal Guest who also opened the games. Really positive feedback and the smiles and laughter said it all.
