Dear
We are writing to you as members the Olimpiadi Gioventó Italiana committee. We are part of a
team of dedicated and enthusiastic parents, whose function is to organise The
Italian Youth Olympics, which is held every two years. One of our aims this
year is to encourage members of our Italian Community to form their own teams
and participate in one of the largest single events on the Italian Calendar!
The Olimpiadi Gioventó Italiana was founded in 1978 by St.
Peter’s Italian Youth Club Committee, which is situated in Central London. The
first O.G.I games were held in 1980 on the Whitsun bank holiday weekend in
North London. Thankfully, the games have taken place every two years since
then. The aim of the Olimpiadi Gioventó Italiana is to provide young people in the Italian
Community, aged 9 – 21 with the opportunity to take part in a three day olympic
event. As the teams are drawn from Italian Associations, Italian Clubs and
Italian Schools it also gives many families and friends an occasion to meet up
with one another.
The last O.G.I took
place in 2002 and over 400 young people and their families attended. A great
weekend was had by all. There was a great sense of community spirit and we even
managed to watch Italy play in the World Cup on large television screens !
However, over the last
few years the number of teams participating in the O.G.I.
has dwindled. We are therefore approaching key members of our Italian Community
and requesting they give this matter some thought.
We are proud to state
that the O.G.I has been a part of our Italian Community for the past 22 years and
we hope to continue for many years to come. To do this we need your help and
support. We therefore invite you to visit our website www.ogi-olympics.com for further
information. We are confident that this will encourage you to consider our
request and become part of this worthwhile and rewarding event.
Preparations are
underway for the 2004 olympics so please do not hesitate in contacting us.
We can be reached via email at info@ogi-olmypics.com or by post to Olimpiadi
Gioventó Italiana, 2 Backhill, Clerkenwell, London EC1R 5EN.
Teams wanting to participate in
the OGI 2004 need to register by 31st January 2004.
We very much look forward to hearing from you
in the near future,
Yours
Sincerely
Mrs Maria
