Melissa Webb and Sport Relief

24th Feb 2012

Last Saturday saw us involved in our first Olympic event at Hedsor House. Olympic teams of rowers and kayakers took part in a Hell’s Kitchen type cook off, inevitably renamed Mel’s Kitchen. Ten athletes took part (two teams of five) and all joined in wholeheartedly.  The standard of cooking from the stand in chefs was extremely high with both teams producing a meal for 150 guests. All funds raised went to Sport Relief.

The hardest task of the night fell to me in choosing the winners with the Rowers just edging it. Judging by the competitiveness shown by both sides Team GB is in with a very good chance of gold this summer!

Local press coverage was pretty extensive and can be seen below;
