The Water Conservators again entered a team in the Worshipful Company of Poulters’ Inter-Livery Pancake Race.
It was a great charity event in aid of the West Ham Foundation, the Combined Cadet Force Association, Homewards-Royal Foundation and the Master Poulter’s Pelican Trust.
In addition to 46 teams from City of London Livery Companies, Guilds and related Companies, it was supported by The Worshipful Companies of Clockmakers, Fruiterers, Glovers, Gunmakers, Cooks, Poultec – the training specialists, Noble Foods and The Clink Charity.
With their chef hats and aprons our enthusiastic team were ready for anything. Following a chat with a journalist we achieved a mention in The Times as a modern Livery Company.
The challenge was not only to win the race but also keep the chef hats on, toss the pancake twice, and avoid flying on the smooth paving of the Guildhall Courtyard. The team succeeded on almost all counts.
Congratulations to the team
- Master’s Race: Warden Allan Barton
- Liveryman Race: Court Member & Liveryman Brett Bader
- Ladies Race: Freeman Inge Relph
- Fancy Dress: Associate Milly Wang
Although they did not win first prize we all had a great time.
