This festival of sport was an exciting countdown to London 2012, and took place at the prestigious Stoke Mandeville Stadium, birthplace of the Paralympic Games, and The Mandeville School & Specialist Sports College in Stoke Mandeville, Buckinghamshire. Now in its fifth year, the Bucks Youth Games featured seven different sports ranging from athletics and swimming to girls’ football and boccia. Children from primary and secondary schools across Aylesbury Vale, Milton Keynes, Wycombe, Chiltern and South Bucks tried their level best to come home with a medal. However everyone was a winner, with children having the opportunity to meet sporting champions and the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic mascots Wenlock and Mandeville.
