The Chamber and Town Centre Management are leading the Wimbledon Going for Gold campaign on behalf of business because Wimbledon is uniquely placed to benefit.  It is the only town in South London that will be an Olympic venue and there are huge opportunities in the run up to 2012 to build on its profile and take advantage of the spotlight it receives for two weeks every year due to the All England Lawn Tennis Championship.

The aims of the Wimbledon Going For Gold campaign are:

• to put Wimbledon on the map - year on year in the run up to the Olympics
• to support the business community to contribute to the Olympic debate and benefit from it
• to consider the Wimbledon Station redevelopment and lobby as agreed
• to encourage business to business promotions and promotional activity to coincide with Wimbledon fortnight - for every year to build up to 2012

The Going For Gold Committee meets twice a year.  There are two sub-groups - the Business Development and Promotion Group, led by Diana Sterck, Chief Executive of the Chamber, and the Environment and Street Scene Group, led by Marcus Beale, head of Wimbledon Civic Forum.
