Viewpoint/Dorset View magazines will once again provide a prize for the adult winner of the Wimborne Minster Pancake Race, which takes place on Tuesday 21 February.

The venue is, as always, outside the main north porch entrance to the minster and the first race will commence at 11am as the Pancake Bell is tolled. Competitors will be required to run round the minster, tossing their pancakes at the four corners of the church.

All competitors should report to the north porch by 10.30am to enrol, complete with frying pan and ready cooked pancake. Anyone can enter; male or female, young or old, individuals, schools, groups and organisations. All are most welcome.

The over 18 winner will also receive the John Loader Memorial Cup, presented by Martyn and Kathy Curtler, and become the Minster Pancake Champion 2023.

There will also be races for the under 18s. Depending on the number of entries, these will again be spilt into three age ranges four-9, 9-13 and 13-18. Likewise, there will be races for pre-schools and toddlers and those using wheelchairs. Prizes will be awarded to the winners of each category.

Get yourself into training for the big day and pick up an entry form from the minster or the Parish Office in Church House, (next to the minster) or just turn up in the day and have some fun.
