I have been asked to make a replica torch so that Active Trowbridge can
hold an Olympic torch relay round all the local primary schools. They
are also planning an old fashioned "Olympic Games" in the park.
Although I haven't even started to plan London 2012-themed craft
activities yet (I don't plan that far in advance!) but I reckon a
make-a-medal craft workshop is a great idea.

Wow! I've just sent out details of 2012 events at The Mo, including a
medal
making session "to get into the spirit of London 2012". Oops.....
If they care so much, why didn't they go out of their way to let
everybody
know??!

Subject: Olympic brand barriers
Dear all,
An interesting but depressing email sent to the UK volunteer
programmes managers list described how an Olympics-inspired blog for
volunteers based in Brighton, itself set up on a voluntary basis, was
depublished because of the organising committee's draconian rules
about the use of anything related to the London 2012 brand, including
individual words such as London 2012, Olympic, Olympiad etc. See:
http://www.london2012.com/about-us/our-brand/frequently-asked-questions.

How are those of you 'taking part' or wanting to theme events and
programmes dealing with these bizarre and draconian barriers, or has
it put you off?
