YEOVIL’S NEW TOWN CRIER

YEOVIL’S NEW TOWN CRIER

Following the retirement of Yeovil’s Town Crier who loyally served the town for many years, Yeovil Town Council is pleased to announce the official appointment of a new Town Crier!  New to the Ancient and Honourable Guild of Town Crier’s, but by no means a new face in Yeovil, David Recardo will now be donning the feathered tri-cornered hat, livery and white gloves and follow the ancient tradition.

David has lived in Yeovil since 1971, was a District Councillor for 17 years and Town Councillor for more than 20 years, including being the Mayor for three years.  After standing down in May 2022, David found more time for his hobbies of fishing, golf and tending his allotment.  He is now ready to take up the challenge of a new civic role and is welcoming invitations from local events and community groups.
