REDGATE SCHOOL PANCAKE DAY
Pancake Races round the school 1976-1980
By Malcolm Marples
It would seem that the pancake race at the school was an annual event over the years 1976 – 1981, and maybe other years that we do not have photographs of.
(The order of photgraphs, captions, or words, do not relate to the original event)
February 1976
This year (and others) the Mayor and Mayoress supported and participated in the event.
It was obviously enjoy by those who took part, or just watched the fun.
The Mayor now starts the racing
