The inside story of the 2002 Commonwealth Games with never before seen pictures.
In 2002 the Commonwealth Games were held in Manchester, using the finest stadium in the country - The City of Manchester Stadium -
now home to Manchester City Football Club.
As part of the closing ceremony 40 Morris Minors, including many from the Manchester Branch took part in a spectacular Song and
Dance showpiece, involving Coronation Street stars Steve Arnold and Tracy Shaw (who played characters Ashley and Maxine Peacock)
The late Don McPhee took many photographs to record the event, but recently some new photographs have come to light,
which bring a new dimension to how the event was put together and are a real “inside view” into not just the branches or even the MMOC’s
but one of Manchester’s finest hours.
