A group of nine Morpeth swimmers have been selected by LOCOG to help out as Gamesmakers during this summer’s Olympics at the Aquatics centre. Their responsibilities will include carrying athlete kit baskets to and from the starting blocks. The gamesmakers will be accompanied by Club chair Lynda Garland and head coach Jenny Glossop. Lynda advised “It's a great honour for the club, the town and Northumberland as not many people from the county will be so closely involved with the action at the games. We will be doing fundraising events and activities to help cover our expenses, any donations will be gratefully received”.

The nine gamesmakers are: Abi Oman, Rebecca Proud, Alexander Garland, Andie Hinitt, Mirium Inverarity, Robert Carr, Claire Turner, Lucy Shuttleworth and Grace Welsh.
