The image showcases a delightful mix of customs and traditions as participants donning fancy dress costumes eagerly race towards victory with frying pans in hand. Number 222, Gary Lockley from the MacDonalds Team, steals the spotlight despite being bandaged up, determined to claim first place. Hot on his heels is number 7, John West representing NatWest Bank, while Jeanette Robert of Curves stands at the center exuding confidence and competitiveness. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere that surrounded this annual event in the 1980s.
