Pre-Olympic/Paralympic Training Camps
In order for international teams and squads to
acclimatise for any Olympic or Paralympic Games, it is becoming
increasingly common for Pre-Games Training Camps to be established.
There are two in the Dover District:
- Deal Gymnastics Centre
(Artistic Gymnastics)
- Fowlmead Country Park (Road
Cycling, Mountain Bike)

Sport, Leisure & Olympics website..
Volunteering
The ‘Kent eVent Team’ is a partnership between Kent County
Council and the voluntary sector in Kent, aimed at recruiting
volunteers for sport, leisure and cultural events across the
county, including the build up to the 2012 Games. For more

Olympic Torch Campaign
Kent County Council and the Kent Campaign for
the 2012 Games have been seeking to ensure that Dover is the
welcome point for the Olympic Torch when it first reaches the UK's
shores in 2012.
To see the reasons why and the continuing work
towards the bid visit the
