The Loony party would like to congratulate all the participants of Team GB at the 2008 Olympics. The fact that a number of the contestants have won Gold, Silver and bronze medals is an added bonus. Just to have been good enough to take part is an achievement and winning medals is outstanding, and has created once again a pride in being British. Thankyou all.

On the same subject it is our intention to contact the British Olympic Association, to ask once again that we introduce some of our national sports into the Olympics London 2012. Yes we are refering to those old favourites. The Egg and Spoon race, The Threelegged race, The Sack race and of course that old favourite The Witchducking Championships. It is important that the London Olympics reflects part of our sporting culture.
