A CATERING lecturer is gearing up to feed hungry athletes taking part in the Olympic Games. "I am certain there are athletes around Northamptonshire and the United Kingdom who can't wait and now there are another 45 individuals who can't wait to go. Mr Fahy said the opportunity came about after bumping in to one of his fellow former Army colleagues while working at Wembley Stadium who happened to know Olympic head chef. The students, some of whoare prepared to give up their jobs to attend if they are chosen, will work as chefs and front-of-house staff at different venues being used around the capital. Mr Fahy, who fed the Queen at the opening of Rockingham Motor Speedway and has worked at top music concerts including gigs by Take That and Oasis, has been told to prepare to feed 20,000 people 90 different breakfasts. Mr Fahy added: "I was going to apply for just me and my son but I thought why not involve the college, it would be great for Tresham and the whole of Northamptonshire. "It will be a hands-on experience for them and they'll be able to tell future employers 'I worked at the Olympics'. In 50 years' time when they look back and it is the anniversary when people say 'where were you?' they are able to say 'I was feeding the athletes'. He said: "With my experience it doesn't faze me. He may be joined by up to 45 of his catering students, who he encouraged to apply to join him. The students expect to find out within the next few weeks whether they've been successful. |
