Clash of dates is a crying shame


A CLASH of dates which reduced the number of contestants for Clitheroe’s Town Crier Competition on Monday won’t happen again, said town crier Roland Hailwood, who organised the event on behalf of the Clitheroe and D is tr ic t Chamber of Trade. Twenty criers attended

the contest, but there could have been more if the date of a similar event at Blandford Forum, Dor­ set, had not been changed at the last minute. After talking to the Dorset organisers, Roland has sent them a letter confirm­ ing the date of Clitheroe’s competition next year and they have promised to hold theirs on another weekend.

from Crewe and Nan- twich, was easily the lou­ dest and clearest of the contestants in the morning heat, but the effort took too much out of him and he was a little too hoarse to win the afternoon finals. The ultimate winner

With a national total of about 100 criers to invite, Roland hopes next year’s competition, which will be combined with ITV’s Telethon, will a t t r a c t 30 to 40 contestants. Roland first became involved when an attrac­ tion was needed for Clith­ eroe’s 1986 Heritage Fayre and has since been trying to establish what everyone believes — that there was a town crier in Clitheroe in days gone by. But so far, despite a
