The 14th Inter-Livery Pancake Race took place in London on Shrove Tuesday. Thirty livery companies are invited to participate; the selection based on their performance in previous years.

Our team of Nick Salter, Will Chatsworth, Emma McWilliam and Kartina Thomson fought hard in their respective heats - and the rain - but Will was a true champion, winning Best Liveryman then the Victor Ludorum for the Actuaries team. He tossed the pancake 54 times in half a minute; 20 more than his nearest rival.

Well done to the team - we will now definitely be back in 2019.
