If you fancy being part of the Olympics but your hurdling isn't up to scratch, then volunteering may be the answer. But, like an athlete, you'll have to put some practice in... Newham councillor Paul Bricknell is encouraging people to start volunteering now so they'll have the skills and experience come 2012. Although applications won't officially open until 2010 (and the website says previous experience isn't necessary) the Newham Volunteers scheme is open to any Londoner and will help you stand out from the crowd for the event itself.
