Young Games Makers Start Their Training
Morpeth Amateur Swimming Club’s team of Young Games Makers travelled to London on the weekend of 11th / 12th February for a day of training at the Aquatic Centre in Olympic Park. The training was in preparation for their volunteering role at the Olympic Games in the summer and the Test Event in March. They had a tour of the impressive Aquatic Centre, which brought it home to everybody that Morpeth ASC will be at the Games fulfilling an important role in front of the whole world.
