First of all, I probably should not post this on a blog about PR- but the organisation in question in this post is the one I work for as a communications officer so I guess it somehow opens up a loophole where I am allowed?. Or maybe i'm just making excuses. Either way, I could not be prouder of our achievements over the past week.
For those of you that do not know, whilst I am looking for a permanent role in PR, I work voluntarily as the communications officer for the Bromley-by-Bow Community Organisation. Considering it is my local community and the fact that I am one of its founding members, I do end up doing all sorts of odd jobs just like everyone else. The past week was one of the perks as we embarked on not only our biggest excursion yet, but an ultimatum of a whole years worth of training as we sent out our under-18 football team to compete at the Gothia Cup in Sweden (which just happens to be the largest football tournament in the world).In a tournament that boasted teams from all across the globe and has produced some of the finest professional talent over the years, our boys were eventually knocked out in the third round on penalties despite not losing a single match in the whole competition. In fact, not only did we top our group but it was only in our third match played that we even had a shot on goal against us.
Well, I will end this post here so as to not bore all the football-phobes (is that even a word?). But all I must say is congratulations lads- you did us and England proud on the world stage.
