The Flame is almost here… Chichester prepares for the Olympic Torch Relay

THE EYES of the world will be on Chichester next week when runners and walkers carry the Olympic torch on one of the final stages of its journey. The Olympic Flame will travel through the district on Monday (16 July), giving many of the district’s towns and villages the chance to join in with the celebrations. Chichester, Midhurst, Petworth and Bognor are included in the 1,000 villages, towns and cities announced by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) through which the Olympic Flame will be carried by Torchbearers during the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay. LOCOG has worked closely with representatives from a number of sectors in West Sussex to devise the route.
“We are very excited, and feel very privileged, that our district has been chosen to welcome the Olympic Flame”, says Councillor Eileen Lintill, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Wellbeing at Chichester District Council.
...it is a chance for us to support the members of our communities who have been chosen to run with the Olympic Flame “This is a great opportunity to celebrate our young sporting stars, some of who are London 2012 hopefuls. It is also a chance to encourage others to get involved in the many sport and leisure opportunities that our district has to offer. Continued on page 3
