Congraulations on being pick for 2010 London.
I heard about it last night while watching the closing of china's
Olympics. London England is going to be 2010's Olympic city. Maybe someday we will be next too in my state. Hopefully, even thought it just along way for that. Pam-Doggirl3 http://community.webtv.net/iloveyorkies/SugarsGifs/ |

Pam-Doggirl3 http://community.webtv.net/iloveyorkies/SugarsGifs/ London was chosen a long time ago. Sadly. There are many of us who would have preferred Paris to win the competition. It's 2012 actually. I can see our taxes rising over the next few years to pay for the damn thing! Well, we've been assured by our politicians in reply to Alistair Carmichael MP that no more new money will be allocated. And we trust them to keep their word. Don't we? Anyway, I expect you're pretty well insulated from the razzmtazz in Orkney. I live in Leeds, Yorkshire. " Leeds is developing a five-year Olympics and Paralympics programme of events, packed full of dynamic sporting, cultural, and educational activities, The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games has selected the University of Leeds as one of only 600 potential training venues across the United Kingdom, where some of the world's finest athletes can train and prepare for the 2012 Games. The University's campus sports centre was chosen for its badminton, basketball, table tennis and indoor volleyball facilities. Stewart Ross, director of Sport & Physical Activity, says: 'We're currently supporting Leeds City Council, which is speaking to a number of interested nations who might want to hold training camps here. The fact that the University has halls of residence for athletes to stay would also be a very attractive part of the package for many countries.' " But not for those of us who have to live here :-( Mary |
