London 2012 blog

Being at the Get Set London roadshow in Bexley was great fun. Seeing all the screens lit up with information about the Olympic and Paralympic Games made me realise how much is going on and has already been done to start preparing London for 2012.

It’s my job as one of the Young Sporting Ambassadors to help people in schools get more involved in sporting activities. There are so many opportunities to take part in sport in Bexley. Playing in PE, in school teams or sports clubs is great fun but there’s also the chance to play on a bigger scale and even represent Bexley or London. What’s great about today is that young people can have a go on a range of sporting equipment to find out what they’re good at. You can even compare your scores to that of Olympic Gold medallists! 

I saw lots of people coming over to the Roadshow find out a bit more information about the Games. I will be 18 in 2012 and hope to be able to volunteer to be a part of the events. There will be up to 70,000 volunteers helping out so hopefully I’ll be joined by some of the Bexley residents that have been finding out more today.
