You must arrive early to be guaranteed entry.
Summer 2012
- Members of the2012 will have the opportunity (if they wish) to serve on a variety of mission and service projects surrounding the Olympics & Paralympics and beyond.
- These mission opportunities will be coordinated with More Than Gold and the Diocesan Olympic Mobiliser. Examples range from simple acts of service such as giving out free cups of water to spectators; to week-long commitments serving in parish holiday clubs for sports outreach to children. Some of the acts of service & mission will be informally organised on facebook- others (especially those involving the youth stream) will require formal organisation.
