Happy New Year to all Xoolon members from everyone at Xoolon here in a snow-covered Sheffield. We have a lot of exciting things planned for Xoolon in 2009 and we can’t wait for it to get under-way. Here’s to another year!

Make it your New Year's resolution to get fitter and more active, join a club and make more friends. Leading up to the Olympics in 2012 and beyond, we want to help promote health and fitness and motivate you all to get involved in sport!

Don't just take our word for it; according to Culture Secretary, Andy Burnham, this year is ushering in a decade which will see Britain play a leading role in world sport: the minister is "urging everyone to get involved in sport".

After successfully launching the Xoolon Games in London and Sheffield last term, schools are now organising inter-school competitions to coincide with School Sports Week, with live results posted online. Contact info@xoolon.com for more details on how to get started with the Xoolon Games.

Why not look at our new Xoolon Shop where you can get your own Xoolon merchandise. We especially recommend the hoodie, great to keep you warm when you're out and about in this cold weather! Visit the shop at www.xoolon.com/shop

'Til next time!
