Welcome to the Kent Campaign's SECOND Newsletter:

Through this e-newsletter, and through our website www.kentsport.org/london2012, we will look to keep you up to date with developments around the London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, focusing particularly on their relevance to Kent.

We will explain how Kent partners are already grasping some of these opportunities and challenges, and hopefully we will inspire you to bring the magic of the 2012 Games into your own community, business or school. And that work shouldn’t start in the weeks leading up to London’s Opening Ceremony, but start today!

We hope that you find this newsletter informative, and that it provides some inspiration and food for thought as to what you might do locally with the magic dust of the Games.

Details on most of the items featured in the newsletter are available on our website www.kentsport.org/london2012. A full list of the members of the Kent Coordinating Group for the 2012 Games is also available on our website, as are membership lists for each of the nine sectoral task groups.

Our thanks go to all partners in the Kent Campaign, and to all those who have contributed to this newsletter.
