"Time, time, time ... see what's become of me"

The new year approaches and with it 80 Olympic and 5 Paralympic disciplines.

We met the other day and discussed things.

We're good at doing that.

We've written to a growing host of people which seems fitting for the time of year:  They've all been very complimentary and receptive but thus far we're still no closer to our goal.

With Christmas and The Festive Season just around the corner - possibly already here - and D-Day looming ever closer there is still a lot to do.  The good thing is that Sportstarts has a bit of flexibility; on the flip side, Evoking History can't wait.  January 3rd is when it all kicks off.  The 3000m Cross Country ...

Other things that are organised or at least being considered: We've got Tooting Bec Athletics Track for the last weekend in August and there are other things in the side lines.  If anyone knows of anyone who may be able to support any other sports or disciplines, we can be reached at info@sportstarts.org.  The only requirement is that coaches, trainers, experts and the like be recognised by their National Governing Body.

Sportstarts itself will be launching on the 25th August and we hope that whoever wishes to join us will do just that.  There are 400 seats and they all need filling.  If you'd like to take part you can contact us at info@sportstarts.org.  While we are doing our Decathlon+2 you can bring a team and do a team decathlon ...

More to follow ...

What's been happening?

It seems now that the initial concept behind Evoking History was destined to be the foetal stages of something altogether grander and so it is we are pleased to introduce you, whoever you may be, to sportstarts.

Details are still being thrashed out and there's a whole lot of person to meet before things are finalised but suffice to say the wheels are in motion and things are progressing apace.

Evoking History has evolved from being a one off to being the beginnings of something bigger and, dare I say it better.  It is no longer the end but the means to said greater things.

More will follow as soon as it can but stay tuned for everything that that will entail.

Once upon a November evening ...

A spark glinted in his eye as a thought cavorted with wanton abandon through his brain.  It might have been a thought, it might have been the product of a bottle of the New World's finest grape-based product.
"I know," he said. "Why don't we see if, during the course of 2012, we can't do every single one of the Olympic events?"
The spark scuttled from one's eye to the other's.
Everything else was lost.
An idea had been born and they were now its bearers.
"Even the high dive?"
"Even the high dive!"
