THE City of Swan is looking for volunteers to help welcome the Queen’s Baton when it arrives next month as part of the official Commonwealth Games Queen’s Baton Relay.
Deputy mayor Kevin Bailey said the City needed up to 50 volunteers to make sure the baton received the royal treatment.
“The baton will begin its journey in Midland before being carried down main roads, through schools, along rivers and through hundreds of spectators – all the way through Guildford,” he said.
