Holding the Olympic Torch

Some constituents will know that I have taken up running (very slowly), and my dreams of breaking a 10 minute mile were briefly fired when I had the chance to hold an Olympic torch in Parliament this week. One of these will be carried through Marlborough, Tidworth and Ludgershall in the run-up to next year and I have been lobbying for the route to make a special loop past Tedworth House. I will keep you informed of progress. We are now waiting to hear who will be given the honour of carrying the flame, and with so many active and engaged people in the Constituency, this will be a hard choice.
