As this post publishes I will be somewhere in London in the middle of my very last Games Maker 2012 shift. I posted here about my Olympics experience and when I get home and organised I will post about my day at the Paralympics too.

Well, I got my results back finally and… I GOT…… Continue reading My Olympic Dream

On Wednesday I set off on the next stage of my personal adventure to try and be a part of the London 2012 Olympics. Months and months and months ago I filled in the application form to volunteer as a Games Maker, sent it off into cyberspace and sat back to wait. Well a few…… Continue reading Olypmics Games Maker 2012 – The Next Stage

Making It Happen…Or At Least Trying To…

24/06/201124/06/2011 CaroleHeidi2 Comments

As some of you who follow me on Twitter (or, God forbid, actually know me in Real Life) will know, I have applied to be a ‘GamesMaker’ at the 2012 Olympic Games. For those not in the know a ‘GamesMaker’ is one of the thousands of volunteers that come together to help make the whole…… Continue reading Making It Happen…Or At Least Trying To…
