Finally found my way into The Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre or SECC (locally known as The Armadillo) where the wrestling & boxing is being held, amongst other sports. The previous two times I missed my way and had to drop my passengers as close as I could get, leaving them to negotiate a way thru to the venue on their own.
Last night thanks to following a T0 driver - one of the chauffeurs for the heads of state, the ministers and other such visiting dignitaries - he showed me the way in. On level two of the car park , locally known as The Beruit Carpark due to the many random holes in hand structure making it reminiscent of bomb damaged buildings!
There I met Maggie & Anne - two very cheerful ClydeSider ladies - who were very welcoming hosts from transport to the SECC. They showed me exactly where to stop the car so my passengers could easily reach security, opened doors for my passengers and directed me to where I should park, made accessing SECC really painless unlike my two previous disasterous visits. Had a good old chat with them comparing our different ClydeSider roles. I wanted a photo to recall the meeting for the blog In the photo Annie insisted on taking the photo rather than being in it;
............and the SECC was also where Team Nigeria revceived its first medals of The Games: BRONZE in Women's 48Kg Nkechi Opara and it's first GOLD: sixteen year old Chika Amalaha Women's 53Kg division (Chilka lifted more than twice her own body weight above her head to win that Gold medal)
