Kingston Council, working in partnership with other boroughs in South London, jointly commissioned Go South Go (GSG) to lead on a regional basis in maximising the benefits from the Games.
GSG has been marketing the South London region to selected countries on our behalf. The objective is to secure hosting of pre-games training camps over the three years prior to the games in the South London area with an emphasis on securing two or three medium-sized teams as well as some smaller competing nations.
So far GSG has been successful in securing the South African team to a training camp at St Mary's University in Twickenham. They are currently pursuing a number of leads which could mean we have a number of countries present in South London in the build up to 2012.
