I was delighted to attend the Barnet leg of the Get Set London Roadshow, which took place in the Brent Cross Shopping Centre. The aim of the roadshow is to demonstrate to people living within the borough what opportunities the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be bringing to them and how they can go about getting involved.
The exhibition was really good fun and as the equipment was mostly interactive, people of all ages could get involved. Diagnostics equipment identified which sport you could excel in, there was a grip test to find out how good you would be at sports such as javelin and the batak tests your hand-eye coordination – the record is currently held by Jenson Button and proved quite hard to beat! I was also particularly pleased to see pupils from the nearby Nancy Reuben Primary School enjoying themselves at the roadshow and taking turns to have their own historic sporting moments photographed in front of the green screen.
