Team CSSC London 2012 Newsletter

'Team CSSC' Supports London 2012

Welcome to the first CSSC enewsletter aimed exclusively at members aspiring to play a part in the greatest sporting festival ever to be staged on our shores. In the weeks and months to come, we'll be bringing you updates on CSSC members that are potential competitors in the Olympics and Paralympics as well as those playing or hoping to play a part as London 2012 Gamesmakers.

Please help to make this newsletter of interest to fellow members, by suggesting content, sharing your own London 2012 aspirations and experiences or by commenting on CSSC's approach to London 2012. Please also forward it to anyone else you think might be interested.

For this first newsletter, please take a look at …

Even if you miss the chance to volunteer or compete at London 2012, you can still be a part of the action. CSSC has just launched its biggest ever members' competition via our Leisure Scene magazine. Official tickets for Olympic events, 4 * accommodation in central London and spending money thrown in make the prizes on offer quite spectacular. Check out your copy of Leisure Scene or look for the competition on our website in the coming weeks. Later this year, we also plan to stage a similar Paralympics giveaway.
