Olympic volunteers from Balham sought for thank you party

People from Balham who volunteered during the Olympics are urged to get in touch with the Wandsworth Council so they can take part in a party.

The Council wants to throw a celebration for local volunteers to thank them for their hard work in making London 2012 such a success.

Volunteers could include games makers, torch relay participants, London

Ambassadors, Local Leaders or even athletes. Everyone who was a borough resident

at the time they volunteered is invited.

The Mayor of Wandsworth, Cllr Adrian Knowles, said:"Last summer's games were a spectacular success, and the thousands of

volunteers who helped out were a large part of that. The Olympics showed how

much potential there is to harness people's skills and enthusiasm and bring them

together for the common good.

"We want to show Wandsworth's volunteers that we appreciate their

efforts."
