Teams are needed to come and race in the annual pancake races in Warwick next week.

Organised by Rotary Club of Warwick, the races will return on Tuesday 4 March in Market Square.

Children from eight local primary schools will keep tradition alive by racing in the town centre.

Adults are also invited to join in with local businesses invited to sign up.

Teams of four can race at 1pm for a £10 entry fee - and prizes will be given to the winning team.

The children's races start at 1.30pm and will be cheered on by a large turn-out of parents, classmates and spectators.

This year's event is supported again by Tesco, providing the prizes; The Globe supplying hot pancakes; whilst local pubs and coffee shops can provide warm drinks.

A trophy will be awarded to each winning team.

Rotary club organiser Jackie Crampton said: "This is a nice way to keep a tradition alive and we are hoping for some fine spring weather on the day.

"Warwick Rotarians are out in force to marshall the event and this is one of the events we arrange for the local community."
