Town Crier appointed

Oyez, oyez, oyez! Welshpool now has a Town Crier following a weekend competition.

Local woman, Tammy Manuel, has been bestowed the honour after a competition held during the Welshpool and Llanfair Steam Railway Gala on Saturday.

Tammy impressed the judge, Montgomery Town Crier, Susan Blower, and becomes only the second one in Montgomeryshire, and the first for Welshpool for a number of years.
