Back in September I wrote a blog about the Synergy team outing to the Olympic Village. We were hosted by Des Blake, a local resident who is working with the ODA to promote the tours available to the public. Well, having read our blog, Des has been in touch with the Synergy team and I thought I would share his comments with you:

Dear Caroline,

My name is Des Blake, thank you so much for your kind and positive words on your blog about my first tour. Do you remember I said I may see you or get touch on 2012 well I am keeping my promise. Please see picture, and today’s date 2012!!!

I now have a far better out look on life, more positive about things, and local people are always stopping me in the street to chat about the 2012 games! (When I have my 2012 top on or when they see my Olympic badge!) I have always had a dream since a boy to represent the UK in the Olympics, or to be involved in one, I feel by doing this work I have gone along way in achieving this!

The pleasure I get from for seeing the smiles and the excitement on the people’s faces and the thanks they give me as they leave the tour bus is incredible!

Kind Regards,

Des Blake

Des, thank you for getting in touch and we’re really pleased to hear that the Olympics is already making a difference. We look forward to seeing how the village develops and hope that the tours keep you busy right up to July 2012.
