Leicester Young Professionals marks the launch of its eighth year, brand new committee, new website and the first in an exciting line-up of events, with an omelette challenge.  

The event is being held at the Boot Room in Millstone Lane, Leicester, on November 18. It will see LYP members put their names into a hat before a trio of lucky participants are drawn out and invited to prove their cooking skills as they go head-to-head with a timed omelette challenge.

Results will be judged by Boot Room head chef Stephen Fitzpatrick, with the winner walking away with a truly mouth-watering prize.

The competition also marks the first official event for new LYP president Kate Godber, who takes the helm after Andrew Wilkinson's two-year stint in the post came to an end. Other key positions within the LYP's organising committee have also been rotated.

Kate says: "I'd like to say a big thank you to Andrew and all the other members of the LYP committee. Their enthusiasm and input has helped pave the way for a rapid jump in membership during the past two years - and it looks set to increase even further. We've got more events in the pipeline and are looking forward to another busy 12 months."
