The Olympic flame will be passing through Bolton next year. Although I don't live in the town any more I think its good that the folk of Bolton will have an opportunity to see this event at close hand.

 

Anyone off here fancy being a torch bearer?

Not so. It was started in 1936 (Berlin).... All part of Goebbels' propaganda, and sweet nothing to do with sport.
