EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by NCJ, we witness the true spirit of tradition and determination as competitors brave the harsh winter weather to participate in the Shrove Tuesday Pancake race at Grey's Monument in Newcastle on 15th February 1994. The scene is a testament to the resilience and camaraderie shared among individuals from all walks of life. Despite heavy snowfall and sleet, a large group of people can be seen eagerly running through the wintry landscape. Their faces display both concentration and joy, reflecting their commitment to this age-old competition. This mixed-age range gathering showcases how traditions have the power to bring communities together, transcending generational boundaries. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of Shrove Tuesday - a day traditionally associated with indulgence before Lent begins. Here, however, it becomes an exhilarating spectacle where pancakes take center stage amidst laughter and friendly rivalry. The competitors' determination shines through as they navigate slippery paths while clutching their frying pans. NCJ has masterfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also an atmosphere filled with excitement and enjoyment. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded that even in adverse conditions, human spirit prevails when driven by passion for age-old customs and shared experiences.
