Olympic Diary


I am delighted to be launching my Olympic diary!  The Olympic torch went past my home town of Wokingham earlier this week (I have enjoyed seeing all of the photos on Facebook).  On Wednesday I visited the press centre at the Olympic Village where I got my badge for the Games validated along with my press kit (and also checked out the press bar, or Thames Bar – I hope they serve a good pint, next time I’m there!) .  The finishing touches are being made to the Olympic Village and it’s all very exciting!  I will be travelling around the country in July – on the 26th I am going up to Manchester to cover Team GB football at Old Trafford on their first game.  I am also lucky enough to be working at the opening ceremony, covering the fireworks.  It is going to be a manic but very exciting time.  I am staying up in London for the duration of the games and don’t have a fixed agenda but my goal is to cover the gold hopefuls for team GB. Unfortunately,  I won’t be working on any weddings now until September due to the Olympics.  However, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity – to capture some moments of sporting history on your home turf and I’m proud to be working on such an amazing event.   You can follow my Olympic diary on Facebook and Twitter (Search for  #OlympicsJMC to read about all of my adventures).  Good luck team GB – we are right behind you!
