Welcome to the Medal Makers blog. Over the coming weeks, between now and the end of the Olympics, this blog will be used by the volunteers contributing to Loughborough University’s involvement in the London 2012 Olympic Games. The volunteers, or ‘Medal Makers’, will be recording their own personal impressions and those of the people they come into contact with. The blog will serve as both a living diary during the run-up, and as a permanent archive afterwards.
