So glad I got home before it started then, as I only had a summer dress on! I was at the London Ambassadors interview this morning, lots of role acting, and doing tasks like placing shadow landmarks on a London map, so it was quite fun.

There were more than 33,000 applicants and 16,000 reached this stage, and I will know in November whether I will be the 8,000 chosen to represent London at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012!

Ooo.... Is the london ambassadors same as the BT storytellers role? I applied for the story teller role, but didn't get it :(

Hey pxc, your chances are looking good... 1 in 2!
and you're so active and bubbly, they are more than likely going to want you to represent london

Thanks sh and funthing!

Don't know anything about the storytellers thing. sh. Yes, funthing, I did apply to volunteer at the Olympics, but my tutor advised me to apply for the London Ambassadors too. I do it all the time already, visitors are always stopping me asking me the way, or for this and that, so I might as well make it official !! hehe. I get free travel the day I am working, plus free lunch plus get to keep the uniform as a souvenir (gulp - hope it is flattering!)
