The Ryde Pancake Day event includes children from Oakfield Primary School and volunteers from Oakfield Community Pantry making and flipping pancakes with the Mayor from 12-2pm followed by the “Open to All Challengers” flipping event at 3:30pm at Pickle and Dill where Bob “the chef” will be hoping to keep his title. Come along to challenge the Mayor and Bob.

Each challenger has to flip as many pancakes in a minute.

From 5:00pm the Mayor will be visiting the High Street and popping into Crepe Lovers and The Star. Veteran high-heeled campaigner, Peter May, and Quivers are coming along to challenge.

Please come and join in but more importantly give generously to the cause of preventing food poverty. All donations will be split between Ryde/IW Foodbank, Oakfield Community Pantry, Ryde Aspire and Oakvale Foodshare. Funds raised will be distributed to various food provisions in Ryde.

This year’s event is in memory of Erica Manley. Erica was a volunteer at Ryde Food Bank for many years and a funder of the annual event with Cllr Lilley.
