Who will host Commonwealth Games 2018 Part two

All of you who have read my first post on Who will host Commonwealth Games 2018? must be aware that the main competition for hosting commomwealth games 2018 is between two finalists Australia and Sri Lanka.

Update from the commonwealth games is that both the countries have respectively submitted their bids to the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) executive committee meeting on 10-May-2011. Evaluation Committee's will start the selection process next month and will complete the taks in September.

Finally in November both the countries have to make their final presentation and then the final votes will be cast.

Just to remind you that 2014 commonwealth games will be held in Glasgow, scotland from July 23 to Aug 3, 2014 .

Who will host Commonwealth Games 2018?

I've been posting about updated of 2014 commonwealth games to he held in Glasgow. Preparation for the games and the committee is making slow and steady progress in this regard. Like you can see in the previous posts:

• Commonwealth games Delhi 2010 to Glasgow in 2014
• Glasgow Commonwelath Games 2014 - City Council fund aims to create 1,000 jobs
• Commonwealth Games 2014 launches online game competition to students

I wish there will be no mess up of things like what happended in Commonwealth games held earlier this year in Delhi, last time finishin of thigs was something that had whole particip[ating teams in deep concern. Much importat thig than the timely preparation is the corruption, perhaps Glassgow administration and organising comitte be full of honest people with no greed for money.

Now comming to the matter, the host for 2018 commonwelath games is still not decided and the two finalist for this competion are Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia or
Hambantota, Sri Lanka. Perhaps this will be decided withing next few months. I see strong chances of Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia getting the chance to host the games. I'll keep you updated on which country will get the chances and other updated from the Glassgow 2014 commonwealth games.

Glasgow Commonwelath Games 2014 - City Council fund aims to create 1,000 jobs

The Commonwealth Jobs Fund seeks to help 18 to 24 year olds who have been out of work for more than six months.

It will be open from January next year until July 2012 and will pay up to £6,500 towards each new job created.

Priority will be given to employers who pay a "living wage" of £7 per hour and private and third sector organisations with fewer than 250 people.

The initiative aims to contribute to the legacy of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
It follows the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative, which the city council said had "provided places for hundreds of Glaswegian school-leavers in 2010".Under spend
The scheme was officially launched by council leader Gordon Matheson at the 13th annual State of the City Economy Conference.

He said: "The £7m that we are investing today is available thanks to the private sector's commitment to the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative.

"Thanks to the way you enthusiastically stepped up to the plate and invested your own money in taking on almost 600 apprentices in 2010 alone, the council's own budget for the scheme was significantly under-spent.

"Having saved us that money, we are now pleased to be redirecting it back to you through the Commonwealth Jobs Fund."

Councillor Matheson said the authority was sending a message that to unemployed young people that they would not be abandoned.
