London 2012 Roadshow

The roadshow will run until September. It will cover Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and all nine English regions. The aim is to inspire and motivate people of all ages to take part in sporting activity.
You will be able to:

You might also get to meet Sebastian Coe, the London 2012 Chair, who will be attending the event.

Councillor John Fahy, said, "The first-ever Sportathon was a major success and this year’s event is set to be even bigger and better. With the 2012 London Games just five years away, events like this are an integral part of our plan to encourage more young people to play sport.
"It’s an honour that the 2012 organisers have chosen to launch the national roadshow here in Woolwich and with the third in our summer series of Great Get Together events also taking place, it’s a great opportunity for residents to come down, enjoy the entertainment and find what’s going on with Council services."
