As well as the Committee listed there are many others who help before, during and after the Games. We are indebted to the helpers in the Secretary’s Tent, the Scoreboard Operators, Gate Keepers, Car Park Attendants, Programme Sellers and Stewards. The Trophy Guard is Harold Winton and Scott Raeburn manages the Overseas Visitor’ Tent. The Committee wishes to record its heartfelt appreciation of the invaluable assistance given by all helpers. Committee Members and others erect the grandstands and other Games installations on the Green. After the Games, the process is reversed and all equipment is returned to the store.
