I've just been sent a link to a new petition, found here . (The PM's Office must seriously regret this e-petition idea!)

Interesting that community sports groups are also now complaining about the funding crisis. Sports England has dramatically cut its participation targets due to loss of funds diverted to the Olympics. And, in Cardiff, a youth gymnastics project involving something like 400 kids and which has been running for 30 (?) years has been asked to leave the National Sports Centre. The Centre management has decided the Centre will be given over entirely to training the upper echelon of athletes for the Olympics. OK - they've been offered alternative facilities, but not as well-equipped or as central.

Funny old world.
