15Hi No. 13. I would more than pleased, indeed a pleasure, to give a talk for you. The talk usually lasts about twenty minutes followed by a question and answer session, and can be quite interesting and entertaining.The rules say permission must be given by the Mayor, so would you please write to The Mayor. Ripon Town Hall. Ripon. HG4 1DD,with the date or options of dates, saying you have spoken to me and and I am willing to attend. Best of luck, look forward to meeting you.
16Hi No. 14. Hello Anne, can't wait for the party. mine's a pint, and I am raffling myself off for the last waltz. Anyone who buys a ticket must be desperate. You always were the gorgeous one, even when I was helping you Dad change your nappy. x
17From a "proper bloke" in Scarborough,to a "Real Man in Ripon" Take care George and Thank You.

20I am writing a book about my life and spent some time in Ripon before emmigrating to Canada. I would like to mention your name in the book if that is okay? How long have you been doing the job? How on earth did you end up doing it in the first place? I really think it's marvelous that the tradition carries on because of lovely people like you. I would like to include your answers in the book as well.

21A true gentleman on so many levels. We followed him to the Mayor's house to watch the final part of the ceremony and we are so glad that we made the effort to come out, as George put so much effort into the ceremony. Well worth a visit and we will look after out lucky wooden pennies :-)
