Another Old Friend from London 2012 & Pins


Surprised and delighted to bump into Bill an 'old' face from London 2012 I remembered well. Bill worked next door to the NGR Office in the Seaside area reception area, in the Village he helped to resource/find keys, trolleys & all the other stuff needed to make the stay of Team NGR in the village happy - great guy!

Bill's working with Northern Ireland in the Glasgow 2014 Village. He gave me my second pin of the Games:


I've decided rather than collect pins for the sake of it, every pin I have on my lanyard'll have a story. This is unlike London 2012 where the game was collect all the pins one could regardless of method of collection - begging, borrowing but not quite stealing. IMHO a pin should be a medal of honour a mark of some positive act for someone, and so should invoke a pleasant memory. Pin collection should be about quality not quantity!

For the record I've 3 pins so far.....
