EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic print from 1979, we see a large group of staff members from Northumbrian Waters offices at Gosforth, Newcastle coming together for a unique and charitable event. Dressed in an array of colorful costumes, they participated in a fancy dress Shrove Tuesday Pancake race to raise funds for the Evening Chronicle cervical cancer appeal. The image captures the spirit of challenge and competition as these enthusiastic individuals sprint down the street with frying pans in hand, flipping pancakes along the way. Their mixed age range reflects the inclusive nature of this event, bringing people from different generations together for a common cause. This snapshot not only showcases their dedication to supporting those affected by cervical cancer but also highlights the importance of traditions within UK social history. Shrove Tuesday has long been associated with indulgence before Lent begins, and what better way to celebrate than through this quirky pancake race? As we look back on this moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that even amidst our busy lives and professional commitments, there is always room to come together as a community and make a positive impact. The efforts made by these Northumbrian Waters employees demonstrate both their commitment to charity work and their willingness to embrace customs that bring joy and unity.
