McMillan Highlights Countdown to Commonwealth Games

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has today (Friday) highlighted that with exactly three years to the start of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 it’s a perfect opportunity for people to take up sport and get fit. The Games will have enormous economic benefits not only for Glasgow but all of Scotland and is an ideal opportunity to start exercising and participate in sport.

Mr. McMillan said;

"Sport provides an enormous physical and mental boost to people who take it up, and can easily change habits of a lifetime. With this week being three years to the day from when the Commonwealth Games in 2014 will kick off, and summer upon us, it is the perfect chance to try your hand at a sport you have always fancied but never got round to doing.

"There are plenty facilities and parks throughout the West of Scotland for people to get active and take up exercising and play any given sport.

"Therefore, with the Games in Glasgow only three years away I would strongly encourage my constituents to take up a sport they have always meant to – you never know you might end up competing for Scotland in 2014!"
