Olympic Celebration

Last night the Rookery Park Golf Club hosted an end of Olympic Celebration night.
A Family Event…

Lots of young children all interested with sport, and especially as young Olympic  Medalist Anthony Ogogo attended for a short while to pose for photos and to thank the local people for all the support they have given him.

Must say my photos are not good but what a very nice young man he is, he comes across as a humble young man and we all wish him well in the future.

One of the men who carried the torch helped to organize the event and he had the torch and some Olympic clothing with him. Which people were pleased to see, the Olympics have done a lot for getting the youngsters interested in sport…

A good night …thanks for coming with me Jan  also June and friends for the company…

So sad that there was not a lot of light about when I took
this one but if you click on it, it does improve…

Wow! You got to meet Anthony? I remember just how exciting the boxing was with so many great home fighters this time around. Anthony's a real talent and the way he fought was full of passion; even more amazing with his mother so ill in hospital.

And mum … Anthony won bronze, not gold. Take a look at the medal again. Not that it diminishes his awesome achievement one jot; all our Olympic and Paralympic athletes are heroes.
