Tuesday 6th May 2014 – Shifts Received!

Today I received my email telling me of my shifts during the Games themselves! 

“Hi Matthew

Your clyde-sider shifts

  Thank you once again for joining the team who will make Scotland's biggest ever sporting and cultural event happen - we hope you're as excited as we all are! We appreciate you'll be keen to learn when you'll be needed, so we're pleased to be able to provide you with details of your clyde-sider shifts. These are now available to view through your Volunteer Portal, sign in using the link below and follow the instructions to accept your 'roster' within the next 7 days.

Most of my shifts will be in the evening as the Athletics Schedule has a morning and afternoon session! I think I am happier with later shifts as I don't have to rush in the mornings!

Thursday 8th May 2014 – Uniform Invite Received!

Today I received my email inviting me to collect my clyde-sider uniform!

“Hi Matthew

Get Dressed for the Games

With an amazing summer of sport just around the corner, we're delighted to be able to invite you to one of the most exciting stages of your journey towards the Games! 

It's time for you to collect your Games Time Uniform and Accreditation Pass from our Uniform and Accreditation Centre (UAC) at the Kelvin Hall in the West End of Glasgow.

Your visit includes the chance to try on your items and will take around an hour.  With literally thousands of people to see, we're using an appointment system to keep queues to a minimum - book a date and time that's convenient for you by logging into your Volunteer Portal within the next 7 days.

I booked the 5th July. I booked a flight to Glasgow for early morning and coming home later in the day!

It the next step in my Glasgow Games Journey! And having the uniform will make it feel even more real!
