Warwick Rotary Pancakes Races

On Tuesday, February 28^th, Warwick Mayor, Christine Cross, will set off local children in the annual pancake races organised by Rotary Club of Warwick.

Children from local primary schools keep a tradition alive by racing in Warwick’s Market Square. Teams from 6 schools have entered this year and previous winners –Westgate School, are keen to hold on their trophies.

This year the Rotary Club has invited the “grown –ups” to join in too, and local businesses are signing up. If you can find a team of four for £10 they can race at 1.pm for Easter egg prizes.

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 by Tesco who are providing the prize eggs and pancakes, 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 and cream eggs given out to the children. Rotary club organiser Jackie Crampton said “this is a nice way to keep a tradition alive”. Warwick Rotarians are out in force to marshall the event and this is one of the events we arrange for the local community.”
