The Lincolnshire 2012 coordination project is looking to
compile an ongoing list of cultural and sporting events which
can help us celebrate the Olympic Games coming to London in
2012. If you are aware of an event that you think should be
closely linked please contact lincolnshire2012@e-lindsey.gov.uk
before the end of November 2008.

If you are interested in volunteering for 2012 register online
at www.london2012.com
In addition a skills development programme is currently being
prepared to cover a range of topics that should help to support
people wishing to volunteer at the games, but who also want
to gain local experience, join in with local events and potentially
gain skills that may help them with applying for jobs.
Although 2012 may seem a long way off and you may not have
thought about how your company can benefit from the Games,
now is the time to register your company details to be a supplier.
Building work has begun on the Olympic Village which will
accommodate athletes and officials, but that is just the tip
of the iceberg. It’s not too late to procure a contract
for your services. Just think…3 million cubic metres
of soil needed; 9,000 new homes to be built; 30,000 beds to
be purchased; 11,500 shuttle cocks will be bought; 100 tonnes
of meat and 350 tonnes of vegetables will be eaten…….

A new competitive programme entitled Lincolnshire Community
Games has been developed, which hopes to provide a year round
locally accessible competition format that can help bring
communities together. Download

In addition Investment in Physical Activity by Lincolnshire
Primary Care Trust (PCT) has been given a boost by the appointment
of a new coordinator for the county and significant funding
has been set aside by Lincolnshire PCT to help us all get
more active in the run up to 2012. This work is part of a
wider project to address Lincolnshire’s high obesity
and inactivity levels.
The Lincolnshire Elite Athlete Programme (LEAP) was launched
in May 2008 and the supporters club has 6 initial funders,
these include; Lincoln Golf Centre, Lincolnshire Playing Fields
Association, & the Butterfly Poultry.
Currently nominations for athletes are being sought from National
Governing Bodies of sport and the first Leap athletes will
be announced by September 2008.
