(11/7/26)

Another sunny day at Wareham for the 18th town criers’ competition on the banks of the River Frome. I must thank many helpers who made this day successful, as well as my friends – the criers.

The Wareham Carnival put up my gazebos with chairs and tables. Mayor Keith Critchley with the help of his wife did the draw. I was helped by three judges – two Councillors – Zoe Gover and Dave Robinson with his wife.  Michelle, my daughter was the tea-maker and scorer this year.

The competition was hotly contested and Mark Wylie won the trophy this year. Paul Gough came second and Mark Northway was third, also winning best content cry and best dressed crier.

Here’s to the next one in 2027
