Yes, Dawlish News does photo developing and next door, Vivian Gallery, does assorted prints, picture framing etc (or at least used to, I've not bought a picture recently).
If they're not responsible enough to pick up after their animals, they're not going to bother with a licence either. How would the licensing system be enforced - increased stop and search powers, dog licence detector vans?
ManOfThe Brook - thanks for your response. I have been down to the Lawn every day and will continue and I hope the week is an overall success. Once it's over why not invite the organising committee and interested people of Dawlish to get together for a calm and well-meaning discussion about it all. It can't be easy for the organisers hearing/reading gripes and groans and if people ...
David Force - shame that this thread took an unnecesary turn just then but if you're still reading... Can you throw any light on what's going on with Carnival week and why there's appears to be a schism. I've been a visitor to Dawlish for years, I used to take a week off work for Carnival Week. Now I live here and I am doing my bit to support it but it all feels a bit lacklustre. I read ...
I wonder how many people who bang on about dog poo walk straight out of the toilet without washing their hands!
@flo . thanks for the link, i understand it better now. A quick search shows that some current and previous directors are directors of Dawlish Triathlon CIC too. There is also a separate limited company (08257689) Dawlish Carnival Ltd, registered 17/12/2012 to which Maggie Farley was appointed director on 3rd June 2013. Would be interested to know if there are any transactions ...
I made the point in a previous post that there's an assumption that everyone knows what's happening. They don't, it needs promotion. I was down on the lawn today and caught the kids fun run. Only a handful participated even though there were plenty of kids around. There was no announcement, no build up, no drumming up of entrants, nothing to draw attention to it. I wasn't at the raft race but ...
I have always assumed that the profit goes to good causes in Dawlish but I haven't heard any mention of that. Am I mistaken? Is the Carnival a private enterprise? Don't they declare what they do with the money raised? Sorry if I'm behind the curve on this.
Yes, whatever the background (and I'd like still like to know!) it's very poorly written and an inappropriate way to air grievances.. That said, I've been down to the Lawn and it's lively so here's hoping Carnival week is a success.
Here it is. These are not my grammatical mistakes or typos, it's how it's printed. Well here we are come rain or shine, love us or hate us 12 months on Dawlish Carnival is back for another eight days of Family Fun, locals and visitors to our town coming together making new friends as they join in the fun having a jolly old time. A big heart felt thank you go's out to my ...
