Carmen Thornton headed home the first, Blake got the second and Cullompton Rangers' Jess Hooper side footed ...

Some organisations recieved nothing at all! They over spent big time on the airshow i heard they over spend by thousands!

Went to Baileys once, the lump of chips caked in oil were disgusting and I won't mention the basic food hygiene rules that were openly flouted! Chicoland gave me a really dodgy tummy, and the previous people running it had a vermin problem out the back - environmental health were involved, don't know what it's like now though.

Well it proves that the town has very low outlook on life. None of the Committee get paid, they are all volunteers and they do a fab job, give them your suggestion Im sure they will look into them. I agree we need more on the lawn during Carnival rather than spending so much on the airshow. Another thing is that they are not a registerd chairty, and the money they give to chairity is based on how ...

Get rid of the black swans they are originally from Aussie where they are said to fetch bad luck. Make it law that everyone must smile at least once a day and that children are liked and tolerated. Kids learn by example all I ever see and hear is oldies moaning and groaning about the youth

A wave of Lottery cheer is washing over South Devon with £160,000 going to two good causes by popular vote. The Dawlish Action for Youth Skate Park and Torbay Disabled Sailing Association have each been awarded £80,000 in TV voting for the People's Millions.The Dawlish skate project for a street-styled skate park was pitted against a sporting scheme for youngsters in Bude.

The only people that thought they were necessary were the Town Council and 2% of the poll they conducted.

It will be interesting to see the vote result .. but Dawlish is up against a community spirited entry in Bude.

This section is still lost and forgotten!!! I see Mr.Webmaster deleted the similar comment I made in my last posting! Anyway, everytime I visit I seek out the brown tabby cat that is nearly always asleep in a small alley off the Strand. Seems to have been around for years. Do any locals know its name or its age? Must be getting on a bit now. Friendly cat though. Their, thats increased the postings ...

She said: "There is a desperate need for safe environments for the children and teenagers to ...

Its nice to able to agree with every comment made regarding the lunacy of the bus stops. When there is a serious accident they (council) with say 'We will learn from our mistake' it will be too late then. Why is it the buses from Dawlish to Teignmouth always manage to stop in a position so that the Island stops you overtaking when you can see its clear to do so.

Teignbridge council have what I think is a hidden agenda, all parking will be put out to tender, and you can be sure NCP will get the contract, and we all the know the sneaky tricks they employ to make a profit.

A Winter Postcard The beauty of a winter's morn - when snow is fresh and clean; Boughs on evergreens clothed in white - a pretty sight to be seen. Bushes are, themselves, a garden - to be remembered in the spring; A postcard scene on a winter's morn, to me, is everything. Joan Adams Burchell February 21, 2005

the remains of the burnt out playpark, do not give a bad impresion of the town they are hidden away. There is various ways to get funding for these sort of things,its about time our council got its finger out

I walked through the lawn a few times while the kids were on half term no surprise where a lot of them were playing, the space between bandstand and bowling green. The excuse about the road being a problem is a load of rubbish. Get that petition going Gubba Gee. The council can apply for lottery funding money is not an excuse. For some unknown reason they want Dawlish to stay in the dark ages, ...

I have lived in Dawlish for the last 2 years i wasn't aware it is was horrible place to live has it really got a bad name.

I am afraid you just cannot rely on what the council say. I never used to be like this but after all the false promises regarding a skate facility and believe me there have been loads, I don't hold much hope for you're park at the Lawn.

Last I heard (but I've been away for a few days) one was sat one by mum and the other two vanished overnight. If I find out more then I'll post it.

Unfortunatley it was taken over by a gobby hag who sat there and smoked and chatted all day and basically spoilt the place. Her young daughter worked there aswell when she wasnt chatting to her mates. No basic customer service skills Now they are turning it into something but that has been going for ages. It could have been something really nice.

Dawlish carnival used to be great I will agree. But it has now been hijacked by a bunch of self seeking hypocrites who are more intrested in "how they look" than giving the people of Dawlish a good week. It's like a mutual appreciation Society for ugly people. But then again, that's what politics is, showbusiness for ugly people and anyone who thinks that the Carnival is not a political tool for ...

I've just found your message. Unfortunately Jim passed away in January 2001. He stayed in Holcombe until 2000 and then moved to a flat in Dawlish. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. We spoke alot about his time in the RAF as my father was also in the RAF and flew with a Canadian crew. Good wishes Julie Hurdman
