London 2012 emulates Sydney volunteers
Lord Coe and his fellow London organisers will use the occasion to push for volunteers to help at their Games, which are just under two years away. "It's a great nod to Sydney that Seb is coming to the anniversary dinner," said Australia's International Olympic Committee member Kevan Gosper.
"And it's even better that they are using the occasion to launch their own volunteer program." Jackie Brock-Doyle, the director of communications for the London Games, said that with two years to go, it was time for the London organisers to inspire volunteers, or "Games makers" as they will be called in 2012.
"We are encouraging everyone in the UK to get involved if they have the time and motivation," she said. "We thought it was perfect to use the 10th anniversary of the Sydney Games to help launch our push. "Everyone remembers what it was like in Sydney and how great the volunteers were."
