100 days to go until London 2012

This week marks 100 days to go until the London 2012 Olympic Games officially begins. In celebration of this milestone, we have launched a new section of the website, dedicated to the Olympic Games. The website recognises student athletes from the past 100 years that have represented GB in an Olympic Games and gives details about official events on campus including summer training camps taking place at the University’s sports facilities.

Are you a Gamesmaker or Olympic Volunteer?

If you are a Gamesmaker or you are volunteering at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in either Manchester or London, then we want to hear from you! We are bringing together a University Network group which will enable all volunteers to communicate and share resources, information, experiences and most importantly promote your good work.

If you want to join the network, please contact:
