 Liverpool loose 2022 
Commonwealth Games Bid 
A leaked report reviled that Liverpool 
has lost out to an unlikely rival, Birmingham in the bid to host the 2022 
Commonwealth Games.  Liverpool can still bid to host the 23rd Edition of 
the Games in 2026, but chances of Liverpool of ever hosting the games look 
dashed.  With disappointment in Liverpool, Birmingham now faces the 
logistical challenge of securing the full UK's bid, then if successful, to host 
it and all that will involve. We wish Birmingham all the best in its bid, as it 
should be particularly strong because of its "high quality" 
existing venues, unlike Liverpool, that is in the process of building new 
venues.  Please email us your thoughts on this topic to:-
