East Midlands & the 2012 Games  


Pre Games camps London 2012 Pre-Games Training Camp Guide
The 26 East Midlands facilities included in the London 2012 Pre-Games Training Camp Guide have been announced at the Jesse Boot Wildcats Arena in Nottingham.

The assessment of applicant facilities for the Guide has amounted to an audit of facilities throughout the UK and has shown that there are many excellent sporting facilities available across all of the nations and regions.

Tim Garfield, Regional Director of Sport England East Midlands said: “The guide highlights a number of great facilities that Sport England has invested in through National Lottery and exchequer funding, such as the Jesse Boot Wildcats Arena and Loughborough University.

Whilst Loughborough University is clearly the jewel in our crown, we have worked hard to create a backbone of high quality sports facilities across the East Midlands which are now preparing to host athletes from across the world in preparation for the London 2012 Games.”

Further information on the announcement can be found on the London 2012 and emda web sites.
