"Coming to Melksham on 25th April 2009 ... Melksham's 1st Town Crier Competition - 30 criers and escorts in a cavalcade of sound and colour"
Taking place in the Market Place - just five minutes walk from our hotel [about and bookings] - at 11 a.m. and 2.30 p.m.
Peter Dauncey, our Town Crier, and his Escort pride themselves as being Ambassadors of Goodwill ... and indeed we're very grateful for their support at many events ranging from the Santa trip on the train through the opening of Lidl!
The competition should be great fun ... I know we'll be going along. Other Melksham Diary dates are here - ranging from the local drama group's pantomime through open gardens to business meetings and training courses.
