Organised by the Dawlish Coasters, the Dawlish Dash is just under four miles, starting and finishing at Dawlish Warren. Ellie Sutcliffe was there for the June 14 event in the Harriers’ colours.

In terms of just fuel costs it depends on the mpg you get out of a Ka and of course the price of petrol. At £1.34 a litre which is £6.09 per gallon (4.546 litres to a gallon), to go 130 miles would cost: 130 / 40mpg = 3.25 gallons * £6.09 = £19.79 (40mpg) 130 / 50mpg = 2.6 gallons * £6.09 = £15.83 (50mpg) Etc. So your £18 sounds about right. Fuel consumption depends on how you ...
Dawlish Town Council has announced the sale of 34 Park Road to the Teign Housing Association for the sum of £120,000.

A planning expert questioned whether the requirement for "full conformity" with the Council's policies goes beyond the test set out in the Localism Act which requires ...
Evelyn Assey is passionate about people with mental health issues being treated with dignity and respect. With elections recently completed, Devon Partnership NHS Trust welcomed its new intake of governors and rounded-off the meeting with a visit to the new £27m medium-secure unit development at Langdon Hospital in Dawlish, which is due to open next spring.

A £20,000 neighbourhood plan in a Devon town has been rejected as "unsound" by a public examiner. Dawlish was given the money as part of a nationwide pilot by the government to give local people more say in how communities develop. Professor Chris Balch said the plans for 900 new homes were not justified and the district council should decide how many houses should be built. Teignbridge ...
Also, I should mention the @ symbol preceding the username is recognised as in other forums and will bring up a box showing the user's last comment and links to the user and comment. I have demo'd it here and thought it could be useful on long threads.
hi @cheftallyrand , If you click the section you want to post in first, e.g. "General", "News", "Lawn" the link is at the top right. There is also a link at the top of each thread, which will start a new topic (on this thread, under "General"). I did this to encourage people to post in the relevant section / group. If it becomes unpopular I can put a link on the main Discussion page and ...
Thanks @Brazilnut ! Apologies to those few who experienced an error page during the day. I had to change a couple of things which meant the site went off line a few times for several minutes.
