Congratulations to Chard Town Council on their award for the first St. George's Day 'Shakespeare Shout'. They were awarded Best Community.

The Chard Town Crier performed the shout to a mixed crowd of Chard residents, including the Mayor, Scouts, Girl Guides, Brownies and St George on a horse.

This was the first year we have organised the Shakespeare Shout, and we plan to make it an annual event.

The shout is easy for Morris sides, local councils and club/pub managers to organise. It has zero cost.

One person reads four lines from Shakespeare's play Henry V, and the crowd responds by shouting the last line together:

"Cry 'God for Harry, England and Saint George!' "
