I would like to thank the organisors of the baton relay for the excellent work done in getting this up and running. I had the pleasure of carrying the baton in Dumbarton in Scotland on Sunday 9th June and had the baton passed to me by Michael Riley. It was a pity it was over so quickly however we really enjoyed the experience. Thanks once again from Michael and myself.
