lsquomagic dustrsquo and Kent programmes such as the Kent School Games Big Day Out and the Cultural Olympiad launch have

2008 Case Study Olympic Handover Day

To mark the moment London officially became the next host of the Games a range of celebratory handover events took place across the country and county In Kentthese were organised primarily by district and borough councils The official Olympic Handover Day on 24 August was celebrated by almost every local authority in Kent through raising the London 2012 handover flag with an additional five flags being raised at other Kent events on that day There were also five major community celebrations

The Herne Bay Festival featured a giant official London 2012 screen to watch the Handover moment live Throughout the

day up to 1000 people joined in with free activities as part of lsquoGet Active Feel Aliversquo a campaign aimed at promoting

local sport and physical activity opportunities

The Handover flag was rowed ashore in Dover by 2012 Olympic hopeful Hannah Moon and one of the original 1948

Olympic Torches was run from Dover to Deal by the Deal Tri Club and Dover Roadrunners There was a range of free

activities including street athletics and a firework display

Hundreds turned out for a festival of sports arts and culture at Whatman Park in Maidstone The Handover flag was

delivered by river and passed to Kevin Alderton Kent Blind Skiier World Record Holder and hopeful 2010 Paralympian

and taster sessions were ran by local sports clubs

Thanet saw the official opening of the new Athletics track facility at the Marlowe Academy and hundreds of people took

part in a family fun run

Olympic Bronze Medalist Ian Wynne joined the Mayor of Tonbridge and Malling to raise the handover flag at Tonbridge

Castle In glorious weather (some parts of the County had it) a crowd of 300 enjoyed a live band and afternoon tea

on the lawns

Martin a 2012 Judo Olympic hopeful Around 2500 people attended this yearrsquos Summer Slam Activities included

Football with Charlton Athletic a Beijing inspired obstacle course and a Samba drumming workshop

Along with the flag raising ceremonies and the large events and in partnership with Kent Alliance of Leisure Trusts and

local authorities free swimming was also offered across Kent for the day Eighteen swimming pools opened their doors

free to the public and on average 20 more people swam than on a normal weekend day

ldquoI get very nervous in front of new people but I found I was able to communicate quite well around different people It was a real step for me it inspired merdquo Paralympic Handover Day student with additional needs about her schoolrsquos celebrations
