EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the lively atmosphere of The Wylam Pancake race, organized by the Wylam Playgroup on 1st March 1971. As competitors in fancy dress storm to the front, their enthusiasm and excitement are palpable. This snapshot from the 1970s showcases a delightful mix of customs, fancy dress, and running as participants eagerly compete for victory. In this image, we witness a large group of people coming together to celebrate Shrove Tuesday with an age range that spans generations. It is heartwarming to see both young children and adults participating in this fun-filled competition, highlighting how traditions can bring joy and enjoyment to everyone involved. The pancake race itself symbolizes a long-standing tradition associated with Shrove Tuesday - a day dedicated to indulging before the fasting period of Lent begins. With pancakes being tossed high into the air while runners sprint towards victory, this event perfectly encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie and friendly competition. Preserved through time by NCJ's lens, this photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when communities came together to celebrate cherished traditions. Looking at it evokes feelings of warmth and nostalgia for those who were present during that memorable day in Wylam back in 1971.
