Ready to race... Moorend High School pupils had to wait until their timetables could

Ready to race... Moorend High School pupils had to wait until their timetables could allow space for them to celebrate Shrove Tuesday properly - with a fancy dress pancake race. But it proved worth the wait as they joined their teachers in jumping through hoops, dodging posts and running round the course to compete for a prize and the champions title. The pancakes were made by the Home Economics students, who brightened them up with food colouring. 9th February 1989
