Eric our 'Tri- Olympian' was asked by Boxgrove School to be the guest of honour at the Mini Chinese Olympics held at the Guildford Spectrum. Both he & Anne Milton our local MP kicked the event off with motivational speeches.
650 children from 4 Guildford schools attended the event & all participated in fun physical activities. The day had a Chinese influence as all the schools had been forging links with schools in Shanghai over the last year.
The main aim of the event was to motivate & encourage children to be inspired by the up and coming Olympics & to participate in sport.
Eric & Anne spent the morning mingling with the kids & teachers & Eric even managed to get the Head Teacher's Paul Bull from Boxgrove & John Abbott from Bushy Hill to agree to come down the club in September & see which one could go the maximum distance in a sprint canoe .....so watch this space ??
P.S. & the blazer still fits !!!!! (if you don't button it up that is !)
