World Invitational Town Crier Championships - Kingston, Canada

Palmerston North Town Crier, Caroline Robinson has packed her PJ’s, toothbrush, bell, robes, scroll and throat lozenges and is ready to take on all comers competing in the Invitational International Town Crier Tournament, being held in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, early next month.

“I have had to do a considerable amount of research about Kingston, its history and personalities, to compose the cries for the competition,” says Caroline.

She has had to compose 3 cries. The 1st is a home town cry for Palmerston North; the 2nd an historical cry about Sir John A. Macdonald the first Prime Minister of Canada; and the 3rd one is about “Why Kingston is not the Capital City of Canada?” All must be no shorter than 120 words and no longer than 125 words!

Caroline is really excited about this trip and says, “Kingston encapsulates everything I hold dear that we have in New Zealand, but it’s all in one place.... From the large markets found in Auckland, the limestone architecture of Oamaru, the boating and fishing of any of our lakes and surrounding seas and of course the live theatre we are so blessed to have right here in Palmy - Kingston has it all - only bigger!”

Caroline will keep us all updated until she leaves on the 24th of July. She has her eye on bringing home the Media Prize so if you want to help her achieve this you can make a comment below and leave a message of good wishes for the Town Crier Tournament, ensuring you mention Kingston Ontario Canada.

Next time she will tell us of the way these competitions are judged. Now that’s an eye opener!

You can read more about the Competitions here - Tourism Kingston, Ontario - and on - Ontario's Summer Fun Guide.

Go get 'em, Caroline! We saw all the Criers compete in Sidney, Vancouver Is. A few years ago. We were so disappointed you were not there, but I had heard an interview with you on, I think, Jim M's show just before we left NZ to visit our son and family at Brentwood Bay near Sidney and I think the city couldn't afford to send you
