Rehab UK Parliamentary Pancake Race Review
Location:
The race is now taking place in Victoria Gardens (opposite College Green) at the other end of Houses of Parliament to Big Ben – adjacent to the river. You'll find it!
Nearest tube station: Westminster
Description:
Members of both Houses of Parliament (House of Lords and House of Commons) and representing all the major political parties compete in this highly competitive race.
The 2009 race will see MPs and Lords fighting back after their 2008 trouncing at the hands of the media. This year all the sides are keeping their final team selection a secret until the morning of the event, but veteran pancake racers Lord Morris of Manchester, Lord and Lady Dholakia, Betty Williams MP and Steven Pound MP are expected to take part.
A VIP official starter will be on hand to ensure that the Rules of Engagement are strictly observed, including a newly-imposed ban on tripping up other competitors!
Race Time:
10.am - 10.30am
(Note: the race is only 5-10 minutes so enjoy the fun before and after.)
