Welcome… Following the fantastic success of the Dorset School Games in 2012, we are pleased to announce the expanded programme of sports and competitions for the 2012-13 academic year. Feedback from the main event on 13th July 2012, which saw 2000 competitors and volunteers based at King’s Park was outstanding and for many young people this was an experience of a multi-sport event that will inspire them for the future. Through discussion with 26 governing bodies of sport, this year’s programme will include a wide range of ‘stand-alone’ events as well as a Winter Games and Summer Games day. For the chance to qualify for these level 3 games, please contact you local School Games Organiser (SGO) for details/dates of level 2 qualifiers in your School Games area. Yours sincerely,
Phil Thomas Chair, Dorset Local Organising Committee (LOC), Principal: The Wey Valley School & Sports College www.activedorset.org/schoolgames
