How long have you been collecting? Since 21st July 2012, my 1st day as a Games Maker

How many pins do you own? 23

During the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics I had the privilege of volunteering as a Games Maker in the Athlete's Village. I worked as part of the bus transport team. For many of my shifts I worked orange which was team transport and here I helped send off the "perky" Dutch hockey boys, a word which I was introduced to the after several early morning starts and far too much coffee!

So my favourite pin (and my first ever) was from their captain Floris Evers attached to my accreditation with pride! This was followed up by getting the chance to watch them play some sublime hockey from the front row. Happy memories.
