It was a special day yesterday as our #BringThePower learning programme hosted 700 primary school children from across the city.

Among them was my niece, Winnie, who ended up playing a starring role in this video!

What do we think, @AbbeyPrimary?

[Birmingham 2022 @birminghamcg22]

700 primary school pupils from across Birmingham came together to try out Commonwealth Games sports as the countdown to #B2022 continues.

The event was part of our #BringThePower programme to bring young people closer to the Games. Learn more at https://t.co/Fy6dvlcmWg

@haphazardscript @StephenGleeson_ @SportingLK Spot on. It's clearly the pointy bit that hurts him.

[Tom Parker @BrumTP]

The opening of the Aquatics Centre is probably the thing I've looked forward to most since I began the job.

Typically, it's happened while I'm on holiday.

Anyway. Viva swimming. Viva #B2022. 100 days to go. Crikey!

[Birmingham 2022 @birminghamcg22]

To celebrate 100 days until #B2022's opening ceremony, we visited the brand new aquatics centre. Here are a few shots from today.

Sandwell Aquatics Centre is ready for the Games. Are you?

Tickets are now back on sale. Don't miss out!

I have a theory that @EllieSimmonds1 and I are the only people from Aldridge to have met @MichaelPhelps, so it was good to run this past her today.

A career highlight to interview one of my favourite athletes of all time, and to find she's every bit as pleasant as I imagined!

[Tom Parker @BrumTP]

Sitting next to me is one of the many benefits of this role.

Just had my first day in the office of 2021. On the 4th May. 😱

A much needed dose of normality. We're getting there.

[Tom Parker @BrumTP]

Genuinely buzzing after @EllieSimmonds1 popped into our #B2022 staff meeting today. 😁🏊‍♀️

So proud that one of the biggest stars in a sport I love hails from my hometown of Aldridge!

Hands up who knew a floating tractor was a thing?!

[Canal & River Trust West Midlands @CRTWestMidlands]

We’re busy clearing weeds and vegetation from Holly Bank Basin on the canal in #Walsall. We’re using this floating tractor to help us with this work. It’s looks super cool 😎 and really helps to speed up this work. #GettingGamesReady @birminghamcg22 @WalsallAdv @AaronAtwal2

[Tom Parker @BrumTP]

Happy to be of service! 😁
