LOCOG’s special Community Celebration Pack now available!

LOCOG has developed a ‘Community Celebration Pack’ for non-commercial community and voluntary groups to help them come together and celebrate the Games.  The Community Celebration Pack (CCP) is available for groups to purchase via www.gameslookbook.com/community  

The CCP contain 50 hand flags, 2x15m bunting strings, a horizontal banner (.5m x 2.5m) and a 1.5m flag and flagpole including fixtures.  The pack is priced at £99 incl VAT and there is a special offer that if nine packs are bought, the tenth is free. 

Groups are encouraged to club together as much as possible and buy packs in bulk to save on pack costs as well as shipping. Packs will be available to order until Friday June 15 but interested groups are advised to purchase early to ensure they receive their packs by the start of the Olympic Torch Relay and to ensure they don’t miss out on their desired number of packs.
