OLYMPIC LEGACY

As the 2012 Olympics come to a close let’s say a big thank you to all the competitors that have made the London games so special. Congratulations to Team GB and all our medal winners who have made us all so proud.

Thanks also to the volunteers, Games Makers, London Ambassadors from Fryent  and  Brent who have worked tirelessly towards making the games such an amazing success.  Not forgetting the public service workers who kept the Capital moving, safe and cleaned up after the events.
