Olympic Torch Relay
Join a once-in-a-lifetime celebration this June when the official Olympic Flame comes to our district.
Calow has been selected to welcome the official Olympic Torch Relay on Friday 29 June and local people are being invited to line the route and join the community celebration as the nation counts down to the start of the Games.
The council has joined forces with Calow CE Primary School to plan a day of celebration, and people and community groups from across the district are invited to get involved:
Plan your day - see the Olympic Torch Relay’s route through North East Derbyshire.

Schools can now access free learning resources linked to the Olympic Torch Relay through Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme.
The activities are designed to help schools and colleges make the most of the Relay by lining the route, and cheering on their local Torchbearers.
Resources include ideas for making Flame hats and shakers to welcome the Flame, an assembly presentation to get the school behind a Torchbearer and a film showing one Get Set network school's preparations for the Relay.
Celebrate 2012!
A whole host of Olympic-themed activities and promotions will also be running across the council’s leisure centres in Dronfield, Eckington and Clay Cross throughout the 2012 – encouraging people of all ages and abilities to be inspired by the spirit of the Olympics.
