WelcomE to the Kent Campaign's THIRD Newsletter:

Welcome to our third e-newsletter, updating you on all the current thinking, planning and delivery taking place in our county off the back of London staging the 30th Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.

As we have outlined in our first two editions, July 2007 and November 2007. the Kent Campaign for the 2012 Games is a partnership led and managed by Kent County Council through its Sport, Leisure and Olympics Service, which is part of the Communities Directorate.

The Campaign seeks to ensure that Kent derives maximum benefit from the Games across the areas of sport, young people, economic development, regeneration, the arts, tourism, volunteering, skills and transport.

The Campaign is led by a cross-sectoral Kent Coordinating Group for the 2012 Games, and is chaired by chris.hespe@kent.gov.uk, Head of Sport, Leisure and Olympics at Kent County Council. There are nine sectoral task groups, which feed into the Coordinating Group and drive forward the delivery. Stephanie.Holt@kent.gov.uk is the Kent Manager for the 2012 Games and manages the Campaign.

Please make contact with the Campaign if you would like discussions or presentations on the opportunities that are available to your sector from the 2012 Games. More detail on everything in this newsletter is available at the Campaign’s website www.kentsport.org/london2012
