VOLUNTEERS are needed to act as macebearers in a town council's civic party.
Lyme Regis Town Council is seeking new people to help uphold the town’s civic pride and traditions - by becoming a macebearer.
The role of a macebearer is to accompany the mayoral party at civic and ceremonial events, wearing traditional robes and carrying the ancient maces.
Events would include the Mayor-making ceremony, the civic church service, the Remembrance Day Parade, the Somers Day Parade and civic night.
The tradition of macebearers accompanying the mayor can be traced back in history.
Anyone who is interested in joining the civic party as a macebearer or would like more information about the role can contact Kerry Weekley on 01297 445175 or assistant@lymeregistowncouncil.gov.uk.
