RULES AND REGULATIONS
 

This is a fun, free of charge event for all - therefore the rules and regulations have been kept deliberately short.
 
The course will consist of a Start line in Market Square, a number of Marker posts going up Castle St, and a Finish line at Church Walk car park. Fancy or Team Dress is optional but there will be a prize for the best.
 
Rule 1: When each Contestant reaches a marker, he/she must successfully toss and recover their pancake in their frying pan. Should he/she drop their pancake, they must go back 2 marker posts and start that section again. The first Contestant  in each race to reach the Finishing line without dropping their pancake - and who in the Judges opinion have tossed it properly each time they reach  a ‘tossing’ marker – will be declared the winner of that heat.
 
Rule 2:  Nobody, including another race member, is allowed to interfere with any Contestant.
 
Rule 3:  If a pancake falls onto the ground, or is caught in any manner other than by the Contestant’s frying pan, this will be deemed an unsuccessful toss, and the Contestant will have to go back 2 markers and recommence that part of the race. If a pancake should become so badly damaged that it no longer resembles a single pancake, the Contestant may go back to the Start, load a second pancake and start the whole race again.
 
Rule 4:No more than 2 pancakes will be issued to any Contestant.
 
Rule 5:All pancakes will be of uniform weight and will be supplied by the organisers at the start of each race.
 
Rule 5:The Judges decision is final.
