| Description: | At the BT British Olympic Ball you can be in the company of Olympic champions, 2012 medal contenders, celebrated stars from the world of sport and entertainment - with live entertainment throughout the evening - on 7 October at Olympia Grand Hall.
The Ultimate pre-Olympic party
In 2010, the British Olympic Ball presented by BT was acclaimed ‘The Ball of the Year’ by Hello! Magazine, confirming its place as the ‘must attend’ red carpet event for athletes, celebrities, fans of Team GB and supporters of the Olympics while raising vital funds for Team GB.
In 2011 the BT British Olympic Ball will be bigger and better than ever before as they move to the spectacular setting of the Grand Hall, Olympia. The new venue will provide space for an additional 700 guests and allow the music and entertainment offering to be their greatest yet.
Last year’s event was attended by 1,100 guests including over 60 British Olympic medalists such as British Olympic legends Steve Redgrave and Matt Pinsent, and current icons Amy Williams and Jessica Ennis.
Guest of honour HRH Prince Harry attended alongside celebrity stars from the worlds of showbiz, entertainment and business including Myleene Klass, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Duncan Bannatyne. TV personalities Amanda Holden and Ben Shephard hosted the event while live performances from the highly talented Jamie Cullum, Mark Ronson and DJ Lora kept the dancefloor packed until 3am.
The 2011 BT British Olympic Ball will take place exactly 42 weeks before the London 2012 Opening Ceremony and is a wonderful chance to get involved and show your support for our greatest team - Team GB in advance of London 2012; a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed. |

Supporting Team GB
Team GB is the team that will represent Great Britain and Northern Ireland at the next Olympic Games. Team GB will be selected, prepared and managed by the British Olympic Association (BOA). At each Olympic Games, the BOA delivers faultless, world beating planning and logistics for Team GB. They take care of every detail, from competition kit to sports science and technology, to preparation camps and maximising home advantage.
You can make the difference
The work they do selecting, preparing and managing Team GB is crucial. Without the BOA there would be no Team GB. We are independent and privately funded. They receive no funding from the lottery or government. The success of our mission is entirely dependent upon income received from sponsorship and events like the BT British Olympic Ball.
London 2012
London 2012 represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the UK; a chance to celebrate our sporting talent, our culture and welcome the world to our shores for the greatest sporting event on the planet. The BT British Olympic Ball is your chance to play your part in making history by supporting Team GB at this special time.
Thank you
With your assistance, Team GB athletes will have the essential resources and support they need to reach their pinnacle, unite the nation in pride, and inspire the next generation to pursue their own Olympic dreams. |
