Post Games Report Volume 5 Post Games Report Volume 5 Post Games Report Team: Director: David Leather (DCEO) Senior Editor: Belinda White Information & Statistics: James Dobinson Sub Editors: Bob Rutt, Debbie Gallagher, Sonia Stewart, Jane McKeown, Nigel Bodman and Maria Carvath Compilation Assistance: Mike Gouldin A1 Foreword The scope and scale of the 2002 Commonwealth Games has been reflected throughout the Post Games Report. This final volume emphasises once again the magnitude of the Games, providing detailed and graphical representations of key statistical information. Volume 5 encompasses 11 divisional and 25 functional areas, commencing with the Top 100 Games statistics and concluding with full workforce listings. The first section is Sport, providing an in-depth analysis into competitor entry numbers and sport popularity relating to gender, nation and continent variables. The Sport section also includes technical official data, medical data and a full medal breakdown. The complexity of the accreditation matrix is summarised in Section C with a breakdown of all accredited Games attendees, from athletes and team managers to broadcasters and observers from future bidding Host Cities. Key operational areas of the Games included transport, accommodation, security, catering and the athletes’ village. Section D provides information on the scope and scale of each functional area’s Games wide responsibility, from vehicle movements to the allocation of hotel accommodation. Widely commended by the media, a major factor in the success of the Games was the dedication and hard work of all those involved. Section E presents the growth of the Organising Committee and concludes with an-depth look at the number of paid, volunteer and contractual employees within each functional area and at each Games time venue. Public interest in the Manchester Commonwealth Games was most visibly demonstrated by the overwhelming demand for tickets. Immense public support and enthusiasm for the Games was generated by a strategic marketing campaign built up over many years. Section G graphically portrays the impressive ticket sales, the results of post Games studies showing the impact the Games had on the public’s perception of Manchester and the event, together with statistics on the awarding winning website which received over 200 million hits. A major logistical challenge included the procurement and delivery of items to their Games time location, from the smallest items of stationery to huge temporary structures. Rate card procurement formed a major part of this undertaking and Section H lists all rate card items and those furniture, fittings and equipment with a value less than £500. With an infrastructure comparable to that of a multi-national company, the Games time technology network serviced 28 venues, each fitted with the latest technology. This section tables all equipment and services provided to each venue, together with an analysis of the support calls received by the Technology Help Desk system which operated throughout the event. An integral part of the celebration of sport and the 2002 Commonwealth Games was the Spirit of Friendship Festival. This final section provides a comparison between each event strand and includes the Cultureshock programme statistics. The appendix to this volume includes a description of all Games coding matrices and presents full listings by job title for both the paid and volunteer workforce. 2 MANCHESTER 2002 THE XVII COMMONWEALTH GAMES • POST GAMES REPORT VOLUME 5 A2 List of Contents AForeword/Contents G Commercial A1 Foreword . .2 G1 Ticketing . .62 A2 List of Contents . .3 G2 Sponsor and Partner Sales . .62 A3 Acronyms and General Terms . .4 G3 Marketing . .63 A4 Top 100 Statistics . .7 G4 Brand Protection . .66 G5 Look . .66 B Sport B1 Sport Programme . .10 H Procurement B2 Medal Tables . .11 H1 Rate Card . .70 B3 Athlete Statistics . .13 H2 Fittings, Furniture and Equipment Commodities . .75 B4 Technical Officials . .21 B5 Anti-Doping Programme . .24 J Media B6 Medical Programme . .24 J1 Main Press Centre . .78 C Accreditation K Finance C1 Accredited Persons by K1 Key Financial Statistics . .80 Main and Sub Accreditation Categories . .26 K2 Official Licensees . .81 C2 Accredited Persons by CGA . .28 C3 Accredited Persons by Responsible Organisations . .29 L Technology C4 Accredited Athletes and Team Officials by CGA . .32 L1 Technology Services by Venue . .84 L2 Venue Technology . .85 D Operations L3 Sport Technology . .85 D1 Transport . .34 L4 Games Time Support . .86 D2 Accommodation . .40 L5 Radios . .90 D3 Athletes’ Village . .44 L6 In-House Games Applications . .90 D4 Security . .45 D5 Catering, Cleaning & Waste . .46 M Creative D6 Call Centre . .47 M1 Spirit of Friendship Festival . .92 M2 Cultureshock Programme . .92 E Human Resources E1 Total Games Workforce . .50 N Further Statistics E2 Manchester 2002 Limited Workforce . .51 N1 Weather . .94 E3 Volunteer Workforce . .52 E4 Pre-Volunteer Programme . .54 P Appendices E5 Uniforms . .54 P1 Games Codes . .96 E6 Health & Safety . .56 P2 Workforce Listing . .110 F Venues F1 Venue Seating Capacities . .58 F2 VIP Seating . .58 F3 Total.

  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

  • Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games: Implications for the Local Property Market
    The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games: implications for the local property market Richard Reed* and Hao Wu (*contact author) Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning University of Melbourne Melbourne 3010 Victoria Australia Tel: +61 3 8344 8966 Fax: +61 3 8344 5532 Email: [email protected] Abstract for the 11th Annual Pacific Rim Real Estate Conference 23 - 27 January 2005 - Melbourne, Australia Keywords: Commonwealth games, major sporting event, infrastructure, property market, host city. Abstract: In 2006 Melbourne will host the 18th Commonwealth Games with Brisbane being the last Australian city to host this event over two decades ago in 1982. Melbourne has not held a major global sporting event since the 1956 Olympic Games, although the 2006 Commonwealth Games follows on from the successful 2000 Sydney Olympics. These sporting events have continued to grow from strength to strength, and have been assisted by Australia's close affiliation with sport and the widespread global media coverage. In a similar manner to other sporting events that Melbourne hosts, including the Australian Tennis Open, Formula One Grand Prix, Motorcycle Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and Australian Football League, the city and its inhabitants are consumed by these events. The 2006 Commonwealth Games is certain to follow this trend. The task of hosting the Commonwealth Games is enormous, although actively pursued in a fierce bidding process by competing cities. The benefits are undisputed and include an influx of visitors to the host city, an opportunity to enhance or rebuild infrastructure such as transport, plus the worldwide focus on the host city before and during the event.

  • Scottish Disability Sport - the First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword
    Scottish Disability Sport - The First Fifty Years Richard Brickley MBE Foreword I was delighted to be asked by Chief Executive Gavin Macleod to record the first fifty years of Scottish Disability Sport, to mark the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Association. Initially the project was intended to be small but the more I researched, the more it brought back memories of great athletes, superb volunteers and great times. I became determined to try and do justice to as many as those great people as possible. I am certain I shall have forgotten key people in the eyes of others and if so I apologise profusely. For almost four decades SDS has been for me a way of life. The volunteers I have had the pleasure of working with for almost three decades are those I remember with great fondness, particularly during the early years. I applaud the many athletes who contributed to the rich history and success of SDS over fifty years. Outstanding volunteers like Bob Mitchell, Mary Urquhart, David Thomson, Jean Stone, Chris Cohen and Colin Rains helped to develop and sustain my passion for disability sport. I have been privileged to work with exceptional professionals like Ken Hutchison, Derek Casey, Liz Dendy, Paul Bush, Bob Price, Louise Martin, Sheila Dobie, Fiona Reid, Eddie McConnell, Gavin MacLeod, Mary Alison, Heather Lowden, Lawrie Randak, Tracey McCillen, Archie Cameron and many others whose commitment to inclusive sport has been obvious and long lasting. I thank Jean Stone, Jacqueline Lynn, Heather Lowden, Maureen Brickley and Paul Noble who acted as “readers” during the writing of the history and Norma Buchanan for administrative support at important stages.

The process 4 4. Key themes 5 5. Conclusions 8 6. Recommendations 10 7. Data extracted from interview notes. 11 1 1. Introduction The background to the review is set out in an email to the Board and all GBCT staff from the CEO in September 2012 which was framed as follows: CEO GB Cycling Team Review - September 2012 Introduction 2008 to 2012 has been a remarkable 4 years for British Cycling, culminating with Team Sky’s and Bradley’s historic success in the Tour de France followed by the delivery of 8 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze Olympic Medals and 8 Gold, 9 Silver and 5 Bronze Paralympic Medals in a home Games. These successes combined together have to be one of the greatest ever achievements in sport, and one of which you should all be immensely proud. The performances of everyone, athletes and support staff, regardless of medal success, have been inspirational. Looking ahead we have continued to progress the Project Rio submission to UK Sport for 2013-2017 and are making good progress, and I am confident we will get a good settlement in December for both our Olympic and Paralympic Programmes. I’m conscious that there has been speculation about the future structure of GBCT, and having reflected on this over the past week or so, I feel it is really important that I get a more detailed insight into people’s thoughts about the future, and how we continue to sustain this success for Rio and beyond.
