Maidenhead & Windsor

Friday January 16 is the last chance to rise to the challenge of the Maidenhead Town Partnership Pancake Race 2007.

So far more than a dozen pan-wielding teams have signed up to flip for fun on the run in next week's Shrove Tuesday (February 20) event – but there's still room for more and Maidenhead town manager Steph James has re-issued her pancake challenge.

She said: "This is a great way to join in the town centre fun and help raise money for charity at the same time. There's been great interest from local businesses and we have entries from a wide range of teams, including from Homebase, Norden Farm Centre for the Arts and the Holiday Inn – as well as three teams from the council. We are encouraging teams to turn up in fancy dress so the scene is set for some great fun for everyone."

The event will take place at the pedestrianised area of King Street, Maidenhead from 12 noon onwards, with Time 106.6 fm providing the commentary.

All proceeds will go to Shopmobility and there will be rosettes for everyone taking part with prizes for the winners.

Steph has circulated entry forms to all town centre businesses and has called on all everyone who wants to enter a team to get cracking so that can take part in this egg-cellent start to the pre-Easter season.
