SEVEN former Olympians attended the annual Old Kelleian Dinner at Kelly College last Saturday — Andy Jameson, Sharron Davies, Helen Slatter, Helen Jameson, Robin Brew, Robin Francis, and Patrick Broughton.

Working for the BBC, special guest speaker Andy Jameson will be commentating on the swimming in the forthcoming London 2012 Olympics.

Olympian and former Kelly swimmer Sharron Davies rushed from Plymouth, having watched the Olympic Torch arrive there from Cornwall, earlier in the evening. Sharron also enjoyed meeting up with former peers and colleagues and is very much looking forward to her BBC poolside role in London 2012.

Both Sharron and Andy — along with Olympic legend Sir Steve Redgrave, have offered their support as patrons of the Kelly Pool Project – which will bring an Olympic Legacy 50m Swimming Pool from London 2012 to Kelly. The pool project is poised to progress, as Kelly expects to receive a formal announcement of an unconditional offer within the next few weeks.
