Over 110 Park Champions attended and we hope all enjoyed themselves.<\/p>\n<p>2016 has been a fantastic year with volunteers racking up a huge 12,800 volunteer hours. There has been an array of volunteering opportunities from providing information, welcoming guests and delivering the park mobility service at the Information Point to supporting the vast number of events including West Ham United and London Lions matches, National Paralympic Day and Sport Relief. Not forgetting those who really got their hands dirty during the conservation and gardening programme.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the news article on Our Parklife website here: <a href=\"http:\/\/queenelizabetholympicpark.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=7eff49f0236d8188482bc43aa&amp;id=7440f61d16&amp;e=39be4fd6a7\">http:\/\/ourparklife.co.uk\/latest-news\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A selection of photos are available here: <a href=\"http:\/\/queenelizabetholympicpark.us10.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=7eff49f0236d8188482bc43aa&amp;id=1a4dd81703&amp;e=39be4fd6a7\">https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/d9bolxr25285ss4\/AABth8FcqEd87bYViT-tEwbma?dl=0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Take a look at the news article in this week&#8217;s Newham Recorder on page 2:<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/queenelizabetholympicpark.us10.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=7eff49f0236d8188482bc43aa&amp;id=9b72d912d1&amp;e=39be4fd6a7\">http:\/\/edition.pagesuite-professional.co.uk\/Launch.aspx?eid=e92d0b83-62fd-461f-9593-ddefd1e5acea<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are now looking forward to another exciting year in 2017, with a number of major events coming up on the Park.
