Durham City has set the date for a competition to fid its first official Town Crier.
The contest is to be staged on November 8 and entrants should be articulate, diplomatic, temperate, civic minded, reliable dignified, have good local knowledge as well as having a loud voice.
Whoever booms out the best could also be in line for country-wide recognition as the city is also hoping to host the national town crier championships later in the year.
Anyone interested in applying should contact Angela Colbridge on 0191-386 3050.
