How long have you been collecting? 3 months

How many pins do you own? 100+

I was not interested in pin collecting until London 2012 was here. I live nearby the Olympic Park and work at Westfield Stratford City.

From the first time I went to the London 2012 shop in the Olympic Park and bought some venue pins I have been crazy and can't control myself in collecting more pins.

I went in the Olympic park nearly every day with the day pass I bought online, and I would just go into the megastore to buy more pins to complete my collections. Every £100 you spent, you got a free venue collection rucksack. I have 5 rucksacks, so imagine how many pins I have now.

I nearly spent £1000 and own 300+ pins now. I am still looking for pin sest now and some rare pins.
