Opening Ceremony


It was cloudy all day, with frequent showers and thunderstorms passing through. Mercifully they held off for the opening ceremony which was held in the centre of the city.






There were papparazzi and hordes of people.








A brass band of course









A flag bearer








And the odd speech or two.






And of course every flag bearer must have his punkawalla...



First competition day tomorrow, weather permitting, which is seriously doubtful.
