Thank you Games Makers - London 2012

A special message for the London 2012 Games Makers from some of the Olympic and Paralympic spectators who have valued the work you've done this summer. Spread the word that volunteers will be wearing their uniforms again on Monday 10 September. If you see one of them on Monday, please say thank you. #thankyougamesmakers

I was a Games Maker at the Olympic Park, and had the time of my life. I scanned more tickets, gave more high-fives and took more photos (of spectators) than I ever thought possible.

I would love to thank all spectators who gave in their 'spare' tickets - you gave us Games Makers the opportunity see sports we would otherwise have missed, and experience the Park in a way we never dreamed. You say we made YOUR Games - but honestly you made OURS! Thank you all!

[Neil Mitchell]

All the gamesmaskers did the most amazing job working tirelessly during the Olympics making it such a great experience for every member of publc who attended. You are all superstars indeed. But please also remember those of us who were in the opening and closing ceremonies too and all the volunteers who worked so hard on those shows too, We are all one very big Olympic family and have achieved one of the best Olympic games in memory - Without us it would never have happened !! well done

I was a Young Games Maker, part of a team of 10 in total, 2 adult leaders and 8 juniors. I dropped in just after the test event as one member was just too young to be eligible, best decision of my life! In total we raised over £8000 for the hotel, meals and travel expenses for the whole team and it was by far worth it! We were at Lords carrying the arrows from the targets to the archers! As a keen archer I found it inspiring and so Im aiming for a future Olympics!

andyb56 what a drama queen in fact i sense someone who applied to be a games maker but didn't make it and now has an agenda.

I was a gamesmaker at the Olympic athletes village! I met so many famous faces, from Usain bolt to chris hoy! The atmosphere was amazing! The fact that we came from all over the country was fantastic! Now as normal life resumes, no one will forget the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games! Thank you LOCOG!!

@Doupyourflies Hey, I call them like they are. =) I could go over my life story, the work I did and the sacrifices I made to make it to a volunteer experience that cost me far more money than any sane person should spend, but at the end of the day, I made this happen while you were a sore loser outside. You're not encouraging an honest debate; you're a troll trying to make some amazing people feel bad about making their country proud. ;) Go away.

I was a Gamesmaker at Wimbledon and after being at the Opening Ceremony, started my shift with 2 hours sleep! The atmosphere was so exciting and friendly ( especially the army welcoming us in) It was a priviledge to have been involved in such an iconic venue and to see the delight in watching people see Centre Court for the first time! It was a very emotional and fun experience and of one that will remain with me forever. So thanks LOCOG for giving me the chance to be involved and we did it!!
