“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Di and Albert for their outstanding service to the Board and welcome them as Life Members.  The importance of volunteer service should never be underestimated and we are extremely fortunate to have so many dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers, past and present, who have helped shape and direct the British Olympic Association.
