Barry Hicks Essex Close Up Magician attended Countdown to the 2012 Olympic Games East London Business Network Event Tuesday 25th January 2011

Barry attended the Countdown to the 2011 Games Networking Event on Tuesday 25th January 2011 at Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. There was a large turnout and I would guess 200 to 250 people and there were

presentations re London 2012 and Compete For Update which was very enlightening also a Living The Dream Charity Presentation which involved two young athletes and their training for the games. A very worthwhile charity which needs the support of local business's and local people.

There was also a question and answer session

re Compete For facilitated by Mark Kass of the

East London Business Centre. On a personal note I made some useful contacts which may lead to some interesting projects in the future.
