London 2012’s official Games-time Volunteer Programme will launch this summer.Volunteering at the London 2012 Games will be a truly memorable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for members of the Shooting community.
All generalists and specialist Games Makers will need to fulfil the same basic criteria:
·Aged 18 or above on 1 January 2012. ·Eligible to volunteer in the UK in line with UK immigration rules. ·Willing to volunteer for at least 10 days of shifts and attend a minimum of threedays of training. ·Able to find own accommodation and travel.
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG)will recruit volunteers from across the UK – from a range of communities and backgrounds. The selection process will be transparent, open and fair.
Following the tragic shooting incident in Cumbria, and as a result of full co-operation and co-ordinated engagement with the various authorities by the shooting organisations, there was a sensible, measured approach by the Government to the abhorrent incident.
However, there is likely to follow a number of investigations, some of which are already taking place; these include a report by the Cumbrian Police, the outcome of which is expected within the month. The Home Secretary is then likely to decide on whether an independent inquiry is appropriate.
During this phase of follow up inquiries, members can be assured that the Association, in conjunction with other shooting organisations are, as previously agreed, consulting and advising the Police, Home Office and Ministers during all stages of the process. The shooting organisations are in regular discussions with the British Sports Shooting Council (BSSC) which is the nominated focal point for the release of official statements by the shooting organisations.
If members wish to comment or make any suggestions, they should contact the Association in the first instance. Any questions can be directed to the Shooting Manager of the Association, Ali Aitken on (01483) 485506.
