Steering Group

Following on from the announcement of London winning the bid to host the 2012 Games, the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) developed a Regional 2012 Strategy and tasked Sport Nottinghamshire with setting up a county steering group to maximise the benefits from the Games.

As a result, Sport Nottinghamshire pulled together key stakeholders from Business, Culture, Education, Health, Sport, Tourism and Volunteering and developed a County 2012 Strategy outlining the key areas of work for the group. The leads for each of the themes within the strategy are:
