Volunteers for next year's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be known as the Clyde-siders, it was announced today.
The title will be given to 15,000 people who are giving their time and support for the Games, out of a total of 50,811 who applied for the role.
The name "Clyde-siders" was chosen by the Glasgow 2014 frontrunners, the pre-Games volunteers who conducted all of the volunteer interviews.
The announcement comes as the first group of successful applicants learn what role they will play at the Games.
These first offers are going out to people for those roles where all interviews have been completed.
Glasgow 2014 does urge all applicants to be patient however as interviews will continue until December.
Among the first Cylde-siders to be appointed are Emma Blore, 23, from Dumfries and Galloway, and Katherine Spoors, 31, from Newcastle.
Blore has been assigned to Commonwealth Games Association relations at the Athletes' Village.
"I live in a tiny village In Dumfries and Galloway called Mossdale and what I'm looking forward to most in Glasgow is the atmosphere," she said.
"At London 2012, I volunteered as part of the athlete's services team based in Glasgow looking after the men's football teams and their delegations and everyone I met was really friendly.
"I want everyone who visits to feel right at home in Glasgow and hope to experience a great camaraderie with the other volunteers and staff."
Spoors said: "I went to the London 2012 football as a spectator and was struck by how friendly the volunteers were at the venue and that really stayed with me.
"As soon as the volunteer applications opened back in January 2013 I knew I wanted to be a part of the Commonwealth Games experience and help the beautiful city of Glasgow put on an amazing show.
"I'll be working as part of spectator services so I will be making sure everyone who attends the games has a brilliant and unforgettable time."
Lord Smith, the Glasgow 2014 chairman, spoke of his appreciation for the thousands of volunteers who showed their desire to help at the Games.
"Glasgow 2014 fully appreciates the time and commitment shown by all candidates who were selected for interview for what is Scotland's largest ever peacetime recruitment drive," he said.
"I am confident those selected will enjoy what is a fantastic opportunity to become a part of the Games and will help to deliver its success.
"The Clyde-siders, as our volunteers are to be known, will be the friendly faces of the Games, the first point of contact for many people, and are bound to inject their personalities into the event."
