Warwick Pancake Races
March 5, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Come and keep a tradition alive – -we are looking for teams to come and race.
On Tuesday, March 5th Cllr Mrs Moira-Ann Grainger, Leader of Warwick Town Council will set off local children in the annual pancake races organised by the Rotary Club of Warwick.
Children from nine local primary schools will keep a tradition alive by racing in Warwick’s Market Square. “Grown –ups” are also invited to join in, with local businesses invited to sign up. If you can find a team of four for £10 they can race at 1.pm, and prizes will be given to the winning team.
The children’s races start at 1.30 and will be cheered on by a large turn-out of parents, class mates and spectators. This year’s event is supported again by Tesco, providing the prizes; The Globe supplying hot pancakes; and Thomas Lloyd in the Market square brewing coffee to keep the crowds warm.
A trophy will be awarded to each winning team, Rotary club organiser Jackie Crampton said “this is a nice way to keep a tradition alive. We are hoping for better weather than last year when the races had to be cancelled due to the cold weather”. Warwick Rotarians are out in force to marshall the event and this is one of the events we arrange for the local community.”
