<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A group of catering workers are soon going to attempt challenges, such as eating more than 610 grams of jelly in less than a minute with chopsticks, in an effort to break World Records.<\/p>\n
The jelly challenge is just one of the record attempts that catering workers at the Blind Veterans UK Llandudno Centre will be undertaking to help increase awareness of the service charity, Blind Veterans UK reports.<\/p>\n
The record attempters – including workers for T(n)S Catering Management Limited, the catering contractor for the centre – are going to be undertaking their challenges at the Welsh Blind Veterans UK venue soon.<\/p>\n
It's the second consecutive year that they have attempted food-themed Guinness World Records.<\/p>\n
Among the other records being tried this time around is peeling and eating a kiwi in less than 5.35 seconds.<\/p>\n
The event will be happening at the Centre on August 12th at 9.30am. The venue helps blind veterans from all over the UK. <\/p>\n
"After last year's record-breaking success, we wanted to go that little bit further and make sure that T(n)S and Blind Veterans UK can have their cake and eat it," commented T(n)S operations manager, Tom Bestwick, according to Blind Veterans UK.<\/p>\n
He said that the attempters knew they probably wouldn't break all the records they tried on one occasion last year. Now they're again trying to break a record for eating 15 Ferrero Rocher in less than three minutes, 59 seconds, one of last year's challenges, he explained. <\/p>\n
He also said that, despite the fun of the record attempts, the event has a serious nature too.<\/p>\n
It's hoped that it will promote Blind Veteran UK's work – that's why one of the records attempted will involve catching tennis balls while wearing a blindfold, he said.<\/p>\n
Some of the people being supported by the charity, as well as staff members and volunteers, will be helping with the record attempts.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in other service charity news, Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red has now officially started at the Tower of London. This WW1 themed art installation is helping a range of service charities.<\/p>\n
Help for Heroes and Combat Stress are just two of the organisations who are set to get a funding boost from this, as the ceramic poppies used in the Tower display are going to be sold to raise money for them and several other charities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
