We
held our seventh annual Pancake Races on Shrove Tuesday (28th February). The
races were held on the Lance Memorial playing field and started at 1:30pm.
The
event opened with W.I’s ladies walking race and was won by Mary Henderson.
And then came the running race, which was won by Jane Orgill (Pictured below)
These
were quickly followed by the pre and primary school children’s races.
There
was a separate race for each year, concluding with the teachers, mums and then the dads.
Pictured below is Mrs. Nurden who is a teacher at the school.
In
total there were 22 pancake races. Rosettes were presented to all the
winners. Hot cross buns and drinks were served in the Cardwell Pavilion.
The
entire event was recorded by Meridian News...
But unfortunately we hardly had a mention in the evening
news, just a brief reference to Hollingbourne and a 10 second video clip!
