Lloyds TSB London 2012 Olympic Torch Tour

EVENT: Lloyds TSB London 2012 Olympic Torch Tour
DATE: Thursday 28 July, 2011
VENUE: Old Paddling Pool, Brighton
TIME: from 10.00 – 16:00

Lloyds TSB’s London 2012 Olympic Torch Tour is an interactive exhibition bringing the excitement of the Olympic Torch Relay to local communities across the UK.

Visitors can have their photo taken with the prototype London 2012 Olympic Torch and learn about the history of the Relay. Experienced Lloyds TSB representatives are also on hand to advise visitors how to nominate someone who’s made a difference in their local community to carry the Olympic Flame as part of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay and make a supporting nomination video in the Lloyds TSB bespoke taxi.

The Olympic Torch Relay will be a 70-day celebration, starting in the UK on 18 May 2012, travelling thousands of miles and bringing the London 2012 Games to almost every community across the UK. In 2012, the Relay is scheduled to visit Brighton and Hove on 16 July.

95% of the UK population will be within a one-hour journey of the Olympic Flame and 8,000 members of the public will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to carry the Flame, and with it a message of peace, hope, respect and friendship.

As the only National Presenting Partner for the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay, Lloyds TSB is proud to invite everybody to nominate someone who’s made a difference, big or small, in their community to carry the Olympic Flame as part of the London 2012 Olympic Torch Relay. It could be the coach for his dedication to supporting young athletes; the neighbour who’s always helping others in their area; the teacher who runs the after-school clubs; or anyone who has made a difference to their community and inspired others.

Nominations can be made online via lloydstsb.com/carrytheflame until 12 September 2011. Find out more, and even record a video nomination, at the Lloyds TSB London 2012 Torch Tour.
