Yesterday (Tuesday 15 March) marked 500 days to go until the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games and the launch of tickets sales.
Schools around the county celebrated 500 days to go to with some 2012-inspired activities. Our team headed to Turnford School in Broxbourne for a special 2012 photo opportunity with its students and to see which of their six houses could either row, run or swim 500 miles in the quickest time! Then we popped in on Birchwood High School in Bishop's Stortford where they organised a cross-curricular day for the school with British sprinter Graham Hedman and local primary school Summercroft promoting London 2012, its sports and the Olympic and Paralympic Values. Graham won silver in the 4x400 relay at the 2006 European Championships.
We also celebrated at County Hall with an ergo machine to give staff and visitors a flavour of the canoe slalom event that will be taking place in Hertfordshire during Gamestime.
Herts Olympic venue The Lee Valley White Water opens on Good Friday to the public to give the people of Hertfordshire an early legacy from the Games. Rafting tickets are on sale now at www.gowhitewater.co.uk with people already vying to be one of the first to experience adrenalin pumping rafting on the same course that will host five days of intense canoe slalom competition during the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Olympic Games tickets will be on sale for six weeks, until 26 April 2011, enabling people to consider their options before making final choices and submitting their application. Tickets for oversubscribed sessions will be allocated via a ballot process. Visit the London 2012 ticketing site now to ensure you don’t miss out, http://www.tickets.london2012.com/.
