Over 400 cushions have been given out to Olympic and Paralympic teams from 56? countries at the Weymouth Regatta today!

There was a bit on Radio 4 PM prog (available on the BBC website) which is worth listening to.
Please encourage anyone with links to selected competitors in any sports here or abroad to email to request a cushion, andto read the website page for them www.woolsack.org/athletes Last edited by dampflippers; 25-06-2012 at 09:36 AM. |

My mum sent two cushions off but I've not heard if they have been given out or not. The wool came from a neighbour's pet sheep.

They may still be "in stock" or in a pile ready for stuffing, or in a pile ready for allocaton.
Did you put your email address on? I'm going to try to get one to a high profile sportsperson at (after) the torch relay tomorrow. I'll let you know if I manage to. I don't think we have heard from the Olympic team managers yet which is a shame because that way we can handover the full team's worth of cushions. Feel free to nudge people if you know who to nudge. All we need is an email from them, or an email to write to with your name as "I was given your email address by..." |

Just and alert to listen to Radio 4 PM programme this Friday for news of Woolsack cushions, and to watch BBC Breakfast Show on Saturday. BBC1 6.30 to 9.30.
Bill Quay Wool Group will be shown and a cushion made by a school in Newton Aycliffe is presented to Wheelchair Fencer Gemma Collis. |
