It went right past my coffee shop ( and Ben Ainslie's) in Lymington last Saturday. I was long gone after my market day breakfast. But there were large crowds despite the rain. Not long now!
I did go and see the torch, but as much as I like some sport I am a bit fed up with all the hype now. I couldn't get any tickets so ill be watching the cycling go past in Kingston from one of our suppliers offices. I didn't manage to blag any other corporate tickets so they must be hard to get. I can usually get invited to most big sporting events through either a client or sponsor, but nothing for the Olympics
As for Olympic memorabilia, Just had an email saying that the Olympic table tennis tables will be put up for auction. among other stuff I think the postage will be high on the weight lifters kit though.
I very much hope that the WL stuff will be donated to the federation and passed down to grassroots clubs to use rather than just rusting in a lockup. That's what's tended to happen in the past, anyway. Seventeen full competition sets!
