Earlier in the month Herts is Ready for Winners and Broxbourne MP Charles Walker hosted a reception at the House of Commons to highlight the partnership’s work in the county and also to discuss our legacy ambitions for 2012 and beyond.
The event was attended by local MPs Richard Harrington 
(Watford), Oliver Heald (North East Herts), Anne Main (St Albans), Stephen McPartland (Stevenage) and Mark Prisk (Hertford and Bishop’s Stortford), Herts is Ready for Winners Patron Lord Salisbury and Deputy Leader of the House, Lord McNally. Herts is Ready for Winners Chairman Cllr Derrick Ashley and Vice-Chairman Cllr Paul Mason also attended the event.
On the day, Leader of Hertfordshire County Council, Robert Gordon, had the accolade of being presented with the host county flag from LOCOG representative Angela Salt. On receiving the flag, Robert Gordon said, “Hertfordshire is proud and delighted to be a Host County for the Olympic Games – in fact I know there are those in communities set to be closest to the action who are very excited indeed. And at the County Council we have been very pleased to be able to commit to what will undoubtedly be a hugely successful global event.”
The attendance of Public Affairs Officer for the British Virgin Islands Benito Wheatley exemplifies the friendships and opportunities that have already arisen for the Partnership and Hertfordshire. The success of the sporting Memorandum Of Understanding between the British Virgin Islands and Herts Ready For Winners Partnership has led to the development of a concordat outlining the aspirations of both authorities, the British Virgin Islands Government and Hertfordshire County Council, to work together to share innovation, knowledge and best practice across a wide range of public service areas.
Tim Bailey, GB C2 Canoe Team, took time out of his schedule after competing at the British Canoe Union Selection Event to represent the professional sporting connection that the partnership has built up with the Hertfordshire venue.
