Housekeeping Olympics

In January 2009 Liz was the MC for the inaugural PHAN NSW Housekeeping Olympics.
Held on 17th January 2009 at the Recreation Centre, King George Vth Centre in Cumberland Street, the Rocks, Sydney. PDF of Exec Housekeeper Magazine articleThe first ever Housekeeping Olympics were a great success as deemed by all those who attended. With 19 teams competing and over 200 attending the afternoon event, an exciting and competitive spirit was shared by all.

With 5 events, several heats were run before a final in each of the events of toilet paper throwing, mop relay, toilet paper mummy wrapping, scrubbing pad discus throwing and the final exciting event, the bed relay.

Winning teams were awarded with medals and a trophy, runner ups came away with certificates and ribbons.

Special thanks to the judges, officials and helpers. Also thanks go to the suppliers and Hotels who lent equipment.

The next Housekeeping Olympics will be held in the winter of 2010 (May/June next year) and with the great success of this event, we hope to attract more hotels and even welcome participation from inter-state!
