Charles Baker, Tourism and Regeneration Manager commented: “Last year's race was full of energetic competition and rivalry. Billy’s Bar and Restaurant in Harpenden triumphed after the District Council's planning team was disqualified for not flipping their pancake correctly. No doubt this year’s race will be equally dramatic with the planning boys seeking revenge! Or will the Abbey clergy’s team make a come back and win back the silverware which they haven’t won for three years!”
The race gives local businesses and groups the opportunity to promote their organisation and looks like good fun. All you need is four people who can run whilst tossing a pancake and catching it in a pan. Fancy dress is welcome, as are comical team names and corporate colours.
To register your team, please contact the Tourist and Information Centre on 01727 864511 or email: tic@stalbans.gov.uk by 15th February 2010.
Even if you don't take part, you're welcome to take photos of the event and post them here at St. Albans People.
