Pancake Races 2004

The weather stayed fine for the St Mary's Church and Rolleston Civic Trust 16th Annual Pancake Races on 28 February. The races were held on the Croft (and thankfully the snow had melted).

Racing, tossing and catching (for the most part) were exercised with all the skills we have come to expect. Steve Sanderson was a magnificent compere and deserves the thanks of everyone who enjoyed the event. In all there were 24 entries for the four classes.

The winners of the four classes were:

0 - 6 years: ‘Nemo’
7 - 11 years: 1st Rolleston Guides
Seniors: Starbucks Paperboys
Families: The Peacock Family

Congratulations to all who raced - there is a rumour that Pancake Racing may be introduced as an Olympic event so please continue training.

A good crowd turned out to offer support, with the Playgroup parents kindly providing pancakes in the Church Room after the event as in previous years. The collection by the Civic Trust brought in £108 and the sale of pancakes raised £100 (that's a lot of pancakes eaten!) split between the Church and Pre-School.
