Olympic Games Volunteering

   I applied to the technology team and was invited to an interview at Excel last weekend.

The timeline presented indicated that the selection process continues to April 2012.  It would appear that they are processing people by roles,  at the interview there were people interested in a variety of sports but all for technology.  I understand there are sessions planned for Weymouth in the coming months,  I guess this is where those who applied for the more specific sailing roles will get interviewed.

So not surprised that not everyone has had a response yet,  the number of people they are dealing with is massive

	Any one know what is happenning with those who volunteered to be an Olympic Games helper? I volunteered hoping to be given a job in Weymouth for the Games as part of the race management team or whatever, so far I have heard virtually nothing. Time is getting on, and now we can apply for tickets for the games. How do you apply for tickets when you might have a job as a helper? Is anyone organising RO teams etc in Weymouth for the Games?
