Better Bankside's Pancake Day Race |
Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day is a
day when traditionally people prepare themselves for the disciplines of the
Lenten fast! And so we at Better Bankside are thrilled to announce another
opportunity to experience a vibrant and fun Bankside - a Charity Pancake Day
Race on Tuesday 20th February at 12:30pm in Borough Market, sponsored by Telinet, a Bankside telecom company.
We invite members of the
Bankside business community to show off their pancake-tossing skills at
the Better Bankside's Pancake Day Race. The races will be run along
Bedale Street in Borough Market. It’s a simple relay race with
four members in each
team, and anyone can join in (maximum of ten teams). Better Bankside
suggests a £20 donation per
team (although donations of any size are welcome), which will go to Broadway, a homelessness charity based near Borough High Street which provides
services to more than 2,800 people a year who are homeless or have
experienced homelessness.
Just bring your own frying pan (max. 20cm) and running shoes
– pancakes will be provided! Click here to download rules.
