Olympics in Dacorum

Olympic Torch Relay passed through Hemel Hempstead. For more
information and to see photographs of the day, please see our

The London 2012 Olympic and
Paralympic Games are an excellent opportunity to embrace the
Olympic spirit and get involved.
In Dacorum we are using
existing networks across Hertfordshire to ensure we make the most
of the opportunities that arise from the Games. We are
co-ordinating our efforts across the county to get the best for the
area in sports, culture, tourism, business and the local
community.
One such network is Hertfordshire is Ready for Winners.
