SNP DEPUTE LEADER CHAMPIONS COMMONWEALTH GAMES INVESTMENT

SNP SUPPORTING SCOTLAND’S SPORTING FUTURE

When: Monday 26th April 2010 at 10h00

What: SNP Depute leader and Scotland’s Deputy First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, joins SNP candidate in Glasgow East, John Mason, to meet a potential Scottish Commonwealth Games swimming medalist, Robbie Renwick, and view the site of a new 50 metre training pool under development for the Commonwealth games.

Commenting Ms Sturgeon said:

"Just as our athletes are working hard to be Scotland's champions at the Commonwealth games, so SNP candidates across the country are campaigning to become local and national champions for Scotland's communities.

"The Commonwealth Games is a great opportunity for Scotland not just in 2014 but to build an amazing legacy. That's why the SNP is committed to ensuring Scotland can benefit from £150 million of lottery money that could turn a good legacy into a great legacy.

“With local champions like John Mason supporting investment, and national champions like Robbie Renwick providing real medal hopes for Scotland, Scotland has a winning combination for a true sporting future.”
