ABD WINS
THE
MAYORS SALVER
CHALLENGE RACE 2012
The Devizes Annual Pancake Race was organised by Age UK
Wiltshire and held in the Market Place, Devizes, on Shrove Tuesday, 21 February
2012, between 12.30pm-1.30pm to celebrate Pancake
Day! Good donations were made this year including ABD’s donation of
£100. All profits from this event go to
Age UK Wiltshire to fund their work with older people.
The majority of races were run by local schools followed
by single team’s races. This year, ABD’s
team consisted of Wayne Elliott, David Kelshall, Simon Lofthouse and Catherine
Cole all of whom did a fantastic job in winning the “Mayors Salver Challenge
Race” which was a relay race whilst tossing pancakes in the air with a frying
pan! Onlookers had great fun in cheering
the teams on whilst eating pancakes of their own at the sidelines. The first relay took place against Wilkinson’s
which ABD managed to win and enabled them to enter the final heat against Age UK
Wiltshire. It was a tough run to start
with, but ABD team managed to sail through and WIN!
First
to take off is Catherine Cole competing against Wilkinson’s in the first heat!
The silver Salver was then presented by Mayor Sue Evans and
will be available for viewing in ABD Devizes office reception once it has been
engraved.
