Tuesday, February 20, will be the eighth year for Tenby RNLI’s annual pancake races in Tudor Square.

As ever, we will be gathering from 11 am with a registration table in front of the Baytree Restaurant. Due to sheer enthusiasm, we had an excess of entrants for the six-12 years race and chose to divide the group, creating an additional race. Let’s hope that we a similar turn out for this year’s event. With all proceeds going to Tenby RNLI, this is a family fun event for one of the most worthy causes in our area.

Races will be: five years and under, six-eight years, nine to 12 years, adult/chefs and the ever-entertaining crew race.

To enter the race, we request a £3 fee per person donated to Tenby RNLI. The winners of each race will receive a prize kindly donated by local businesses from a tour of the lifeboat station, a cake from Katrina Russell to a photo print taken by and donated by David Bolton. Not forgetting the infamous t-shirt sponsored by Tees-R-Us for ‘Tenby’s Number 1 Tosser.’

Stormy Stan will be on hand for photo opportunities, and a little mischief in the crew race (as in past years he has been seen trying to catch others out on the line). And don’t forget, keep that smile on your face as your racing as Gareth Davies Photography will there to catch it all on camera for the press.

This year, there is one small change, the pancake lunch will now be held at the Baytree Restaurant, between 1 and 2 pm. Tickets can be purchased from Dales Music Shop. High Street, or from the Baytree directly. £12 per person is a real deal for the culinary delight of an all pancake meal.

Remember: Tuesday, February 20, 12 pm first race starts, 1 pm lunch at the Baytree.
