As you can see Special Olympics IOM has launched its own
website the link to this is on the front page, it would
be a shame to lose all the information up to the launch
as I have paid out a substantial amount over the years
keeping everyone informed of our travels and the many
photos displayed of our athletes in the many countries
that we have competed in. Also many of you know I had
just upgraded the design and purchased new software, only
due to changing jobs twice in the last 6 months &
training commitments.I have been unable to convert the old
pages from the old website to the new site quickly
enough for which I apologise. Anyway I have decided to
delete all reference to the committee, coaches etc. and
just keep it as a record of the years 1985 to 2011. As
most of you know this is my last trip with Special
Olympics it is to the home of my sport, Greece, the
athletics team will be staying in the resort of Marathon
so a great end to a very successful career for me in
athletics. I have loads more information and photo's
still unseen to keep the website going for at least a few
more years until the hosting contract runs out so please
call back every now and then to see the changes. I have
enjoyed just under 10 years with Special Olympics Isle
of Man and have had an exciting roller coaster ride with
them shed a few tears, had many a laugh and will always
have many fond memories. Graham

If you are not happy for me
to display your photo on the site then don't hesitate to
let me know and I will remove it.
