The South Australian Olympic Council (SAOC) continues to fulfil its role as the custodian of the Olympic Movement across the State. It is pleasing to report that after a very tough 2010, the Council’s major responsibilities have all been delivered in 2011, despite our economy experiencing difficult times.
