Our very own team - Press Gang were joined by a host of retailers, organisations, bars and restaurants from around the town- each with a team of four. Participants were required to flip pancakes a total of four times during whilst running across the market square and back (some teams bending the rules more than others!) to a crowd of onlookers.

Sadly our team came last – but they did sport impressive outfits made from old Newsletters by reporter Kerry Ashdown. Losing teams competed for the Wooden Spoon award – won by community radio station XL FM, whilst The Swan took the top prize, beating last year’s champions Sainsbury’s.

Winning team: Sam White, Frances Marie, Sophie Taylor and Richard Ashton from The Swan
