Town crier competition

OYEZ! OYEZ! OYEZ!
Come and have a go if you think you’re loud enough!!

How would you like to be Lenham’s Town Crier? There will be a contest for this prestigious position at the Lenham Family Festival, and we are looking for candidates. The successful applicant will have to be loud, proud and as clear as his or her bell, so if you have a passion for Lenham, a few hours to spare here and there, and a fair helping of gumption to go with your voice, come and have a go!

The contest will take place at 2pm on June 9th at the Community Centre and will be judged by three independent local people. Current Lenham Town Crier Gez Clark will host and present the event as his last Town Cry before heading north after 27 years as Town Crier of Lenham. This is an open contest, and will be run with a view to appointing a Crier for a long tenure. There will be some funding made available for the tailoring of a new outfit, but the new Crier will be expected to contribute.

Interested parties should apply in writing including name, address, contact phone number and email address if available to: Town Crier Contest, c/o Philip Jarvis Estate Agents, The Square, Lenham.
