Weather is looking good for Saturday. Lets hope for a good turnout and show support for our veterans. They set of from the Manor at 11 and shoud be down the Strand about 1110. Come on Dawlish, show your support.
And very nice it looks, BUT on close inspection, it doesn't appear to have been treated, so will have to be replaced again in a few years.
At long last, they are working on a NEW Bridge. The down side is that the spans, are WOOD . I wonder how long it will last?
@Lynne . What has the RBL to do with this Carnival forum subject ? Is this going to be yet another forum post going off topic?
I see they are doing a special. Cod, Chips and a flaming Sambuca. LOL.
Where exactly was it done? I walk the Brook many times and just cannot see any difference. In my opinion, the Brook looks in a disgusting state from the Manor Gardens all the way down to the viaduct, and needs cleaning & dredging along that whole length.
After the 'touch up', I think it looks tacky and very unprofessional. Blotchy square patches. Yuck.
It's AFD this coming Saturday 29th. The procession starts from the Manor at 11am, along Park Road, down Queen Street then into the Strand then up the Lawn arriving at the bandstand about 1115-1120. I shall be on the strand applauding them as they pass and hope lots of others will be there also..
There is still one missing next to Ducki Delicious though, right where you were standing to take this shot. Went past just now and they are planting the mud banks..
In the youtube link, at 1:38, it's the members of Dawlish RBL passing. I hope that they had a great time.
