Queen’s Baton journey continues throughout Cooks

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Baton for the Commonwealth Games will spend an hour from 9am to 10am at the Punanga Nui Market for anyone who wants to take a closer look.

Due to the present Covid-19 restrictions, a small number of people welcomed the Queens Baton at a small official ceremony held on Saturday afternoon at the Queen’s Representative’s residence in Titikaveka. 

The Baton was then taken on a journey showcasing the “night life” of the Cook Islands. 

On Sunday morning, the Baton was taken to the Takuvaine Arepua AOG church for service and a ride around the island. After that it spent the evening at the Edgewater Resort and Spa for their buffet dinner night with live music from Ru and The Boys. 

Today, the Baton will spend an hour from 9am to 10am at the Punanga Nui Market and in the afternoon, it will be taken on an adventure run/cycle which begins from YWAM at 4pm.
