Can someone give me a potted history (in their opinion!) around the politics of the Carnival? Only moved here in the past year and am intrigued by the Chairwoman's Address in the programme. How did the five people on the carnival committee get there? Has there been a coup?! I see on Eyes of Dawlish that the Brunswick is omitted from the carnival and pram race route and are offering a free ...
@ZIGGY That's great, thanks. Be good if someone put it on the Dawlishwarren.info site too.
No doubt the brochure revenue supports the running costs, but my point was that promoting the events online would reach a wider audience than the locals who buy the programme, encourage more participation thereby increasing overall revenue. Sprat to catch the mackerel... Make it a worthwhile brochure (a free fair ride is good for the kids) and people will still buy it.
Politics aside, not putting the events schedule on line is a mistake in my opinion. Had I known the details about the raft race and pram race in advance, I'd have forked out £20 to take part instead of the £2 I've just spent on the programme. Too late now, our plans are made. There seems to be an assumption that everyone is somehow in the know about Carnival Week when in fact there is an ...
I don't think the issue of dog poo will be unduly burdensome, I'm sure responsible owners will continue to bag it up and dump it on my road. Signs on the walks round Mamhead encourage people to use sticks to flick it in the undergrowth, I've never noticed a problem up there.
What's wrong with Morris and McGinn? I find them helpful and prices aren't bad either. I'd rather buy from them than from sheds like B&Q when I can. I'd like to see a few decent restaurants, over and above the egg, chips and beans establishments. Shame Ten Green Bottles didn't last long as a restaurant, it was heading in the right direction.

Thanks, I stayed at the Blenheim years ago and liked it. Always thought that Oceans looked a bit off putting, particularly as it's right on the front, but have never had the nerve to go in and enquire!
Anyone know anything about this place. as it never looks like it's open. There are a couple of bad reviews on TripAdvisor from 2012 so I suppose it must be but I wondered how a big place like that on the front seems so quiet.
There is a notice at the Wildfowl Centre hut referencing this study and pointing people to this on the Teignbridge site. http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=16999 Incidentally I thought Dawlish derived from Devil Water after the red waters following heavy rain. Seems more appropraite than Black Stream - anyone know for sure?
