We had the pleasure and honour of meeting the wonderful talented and inspirational Michael Johnson at Swansea Rifle Shooting Club, Wales. He took valuable time to speak to both my 15 year old son Gerwyn and myself he encouraged him to follow his dreams and that anything is possible. Michael signed his autograph book, had a photo and gave my son a treasured gift, he will always remember that special moment.
To hear that Michael was to carry the flag everyone at the Rifle Club was absolutely delighted. GOOD LUCK, ENJOY EVERY MOMENT - THEY ARE ALL GOLD MOMENTS XXX
