Topnotch chief to carry baton

Matthew Harris, chief executive of Topnotch health clubs, is to be one of the 5,000 people who will carry the Jubilee Baton in the run up to the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

Harris will carry the baton on 15 July, day 40 of its journey, when it travels from London to Oxford. 'Sport is a terrific force for good in bringing people together, and I feel very privileged to have been given the offer of carrying the Queen's Jubilee Baton,' he said.
