Shepley Races
The Co-op still hands out dividends based upon the customer holding a unique number which is matched against all purchases they make during the year. Whenever the dividends were handed out, everyone dashed to the store (which used to be situated by the village green on Marsh Lane) to receive their dues. This became known as the 'Shepley Races'.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
