THE Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games is looking for volunteer BMX and mountain bike riders to volunteer to be a part of the Opening Ceremony.
The big event is on July 28 at the newly transformed Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr and will be in front of a 30,000 capacity crowd.

The BMX and mountain bike riders will join thousands of other local volunteers who have been going through auditions for the ceremony, following the open call for local dancers and choirs earlier in the year.

Iqbal said: “We are looking for confident riders who are aged 18 or over and are eager to show off their skills during the official Opening Ceremony for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
“This is a unique opportunity to be part of a moment in history for the West Midlands region – it will be a night that everyone in that stadium and those watching our broadcasts will never forget.”
