Undeterred: Pancake race goes ahead
 |
| Ripon Cathedral choristers staged their own pancake race on Shrove Tuesday, after the official event was cancelled because of health and safety restrictions. The race has run successfully for the past ten years. Traditionally, the army uses a field kitchen to cook the hundreds of pancakes needed for the race. But, at a meeting of the Ripon Festival Committee last month, it was decided that there were too many regulations to deal with in the time available. Speaking on Tuesday, the cathedral administrator, Lt. Col. Ian Horsford, said that there were new aspects to regulations which were impossible to deal with at the last minute. “But we are determined that all this will be resolved in time for next year. For the past ten years, heats of different groups of people have raced from the cathedral down a cobbled street tossing their pancakes. It has been a great tradition.” |
