Town criers competition


WITH regard to the letter headlined A Crying Shame (The Press, September 3), I believe I am the nearest town crier to York.

I offered my services to City of York Council when John Redpath retired, if only for civic events (I am also a member of the Brittanic Guild of Toastmasters).

An acknowledgement to my original letter has been the only reaction since. I believe I clocked a relatively quiet 100.4 decibels at Bridlington!

I shall be organising the first Malton and Norton Town Criers’ competition on October 23, so why not come along and hear how the ten contestants perform?

David Jackson, Town Crier for Malton and Norton, Normanby, Sinnington.
