Saint Vincent And The Grenadines At The 2006 Commonwealth Games
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was represented at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,

And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
