PANCAKE RACES FEBRUARY 2015

We have to say that this year was better than ever with over 100 children from Hollingbourne Junior School and lots, and lots and lots of parent, grandparents, and well wishers



The crowd was enormous and  the races began

and the first  Race winner was HOLLY COOK  of class 3 

and the second race was won by ANNONYMOUS
he/she disappeared and we  don't know who it was - if you can let us know we will award the Rosette immediately 

Next Race was JAMES MELROSE

   A  WINNER LILAH SIVGGART

WINNER -  IMOGEN JOHNSON

WINNER - FREDDIE WHEALDON

WINNER - DEAN WOOD

JOINT WINNER PATRICK JOHNSON

WINNER - MATTHEW BOWYER

WINNER ANNABEL CALLANDER -  
who told us she was not going to run - but came in first when she did

WINNER NIAMH DAVIS

 WINNER - EADIE BUTLER
 The Teachers race could have been won by any one of them

 but the new winner of  this teachers race was  Mrs Wilman.

 The Mothers winner was Mrs Johnson (They really are a fast family - see above winners)


Dean Burfield - father  and Marcus Bebbints - 
who will be shortly opining a Youth Club in the Village hall - watch for notices.

The WI WALKING RACE   was a tie - Val Williams and Sadie Curtis. 

VAL ALSO WON THE WI RUNNING RACE !



                   
FINALLY THE PRE-SCHOOL HAD THEIR OWN RACE - with encouragement from the Mums

and the WINNER WAS SKYE MATTHEWS

What a great afternoon - 150 Pancakes made, tossed, and all eaten by the children or local hens.
(Apologies for wrong spelling of any names)
There were drinks and buttered hot cross buns for all,  and a busy time for WI members who supplied them, or were starters, finishing line holders, photographers, frying pan fillers, frying pan runners, rosette awarders, chocolate givers and hall cleaner-uppers - and all GOOD FUN!
NB. a teacher told us that the children wanted to be MORE involved next year and the children were thinking of making the pancakes themselves next year - WHY NOT?
