Yes folks it’s just been officially confirmed, I’m to carry the flame somewhere between Portland and Bournemouth on Friday 13th! – hope I don’t drop it. All subject to the usual background and security checks of course, but shouldn’t be any problems there. I’m really made up, it will be fantastic as I should be about half way through my challenge by then. This is all thanks to Louise Trott of the ‘Wessex Autistic Society’ for nominating me, thanks Louise – you’re a star!
You can find out more about the Olympic Torch arriving in Bournemouth and the evening celebrations that are to take place, by checking out the London 2012 Olympic website here. I just love one of the ‘Did you know?’ facts – “Bournemouth was the first place in Europe to have an artificial surf reef” ha ha! who wrote that stuff? they certainly had a sense of humour.
