No can do on any of these... I'm not around either of those two weeks in the lead up to the Olympics (not for anything Olympic unfortunately, but because of something else...)

Oh well :)

Ditto that Going Underground. Would be fantastic if you could travel across the pond!

Fair enough Sam, Andi's "Finnish" in the same way I'm a "Yorkshireman"!

I think I'll be visiting England this summer, but not in July, so I guess I won't be attending.

I just have a feeling that my all lines efforts will come to nothing if I don't participate.
You can participate in as few or as many events as you like. In the two previous games we had a medal table for the best overall performer.
Certificates were awarded to those finishing in the top three in each event in 2008, and medals to the top three overall competitors.
