Whether you are sporty, serve a lovely cup of tea, are happy to welcome people or any number of opportunities!.. Your involvement is essential in bringing this fabulous event where we can show God's love to all, to life!
Grant Sheppard of World Sport Ministries said: “We are planning a large family games festival this year right in front of the Royal Crescent! With MC's, many 
games and interactive activities for all ages, everyone will be able to take part and it will be great fun and a real family feel. We will be inviting all of Bath so it's going to be big and we will need hundreds of people to help on the day.”
“We are asking Christians in Bath to work together to create maximum effect on this unique day. We need people from all the churches to work together to make the most of this opportunity to celebrate, have fun and demonstrate the love of God to all in Bath.”
Grant is appealing for anyone wanting to get involved in this once in a lifetime event – the Olympics will only be in Britain once in our lifetimes! - to come and get involved with the following planning events.
There will be two Vision and Planning Events at the Forum, St James Parade, the first on Tuesday 21 February 7.00 to 9.00pm, and the second onThursday 23 February 10.00am to 12 noon.
The events are the Olympic Torch in Bath on Tuesday 22 May, Love Bath Festival on Sunday 24 June and the Olympic Opening Ceremony on Friday 27 July. Love Bath this year will be based in the Royal Victoria Park area in front of the Royal Crescent – Bath Festival's former site.
Then the MORE THAN GOLD national team are running a Get Set Training Day on Saturday 3 March at Ralph Allen School from 10.30am to 4.30pm. This will be the 
main training day for lots of volunteers.
Grant added “More than Gold is coordinating the Christian response to the Games nationwide, and Bath is one of 17 national venues. We would like as many Christians as possible to come on that day. The cost is £10 per person, and everyone is asked to take a packed lunch. You should register to secure your workshop choice at www.morethangold.org.uk/getset”

Last year's Love Bath event on 10 July 2011, attracted hundreds of people to the Parade Gardens, for a Love Bath fair with exhibitors representating many of the Christian projects and charities in the city. This year's Bath Games is a special event to celebrate the 2012 Olympics and will have an emphasis on games and fun for the whole city.
