Captured in this vintage print from 1979, we see the spirited staff members of Northumbrian Waters offices at Gosforth, Newcastle coming together for a truly memorable event. In support of the Evening Chronicle cervical cancer appeal, these enthusiastic individuals organized a fancy dress Shrove Tuesday Pancake race that not only brought laughter and joy but also raised an impressive £113. This delightful snapshot showcases the customs and traditions cherished by this close-knit community during the 1970s. Dressed in an array of imaginative costumes, participants eagerly lined up to compete in this lively race. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as both young and old joined forces to celebrate Shrove Tuesday – a day synonymous with indulging in delicious pancakes before Lent begins. The image perfectly captures the essence of camaraderie and friendly competition among colleagues turned competitors. Their beaming smiles reflect their shared enjoyment as they sprinted towards victory while skillfully flipping pancakes along the way.
