I think that's a mistake, moving it out of school holidays and not being a weekend will mean a lot of people won't be able to attend.
They may just have shot themselves in the foot there - but I suspect the Carnival Committee were holding the gun...
Ok just discovered that there will be school holidays then.
But I sincerely hope that the air show does not continue at that time every year.
I hope it does, spring half term every year, gives Dawlish 2 seperate crowd pullers, and some people come on holiday in spring because they cant afford prices in summer holidays.
I think its a great move. As Brazilnut says , a massive boost to the town early in the holiday season .
Will also mean that more effort can be concentrated for carnival week.
I agree the two events should be separated, not least due to the ill-feeling between the two committees and some very petty behaviour. I'm just not convinced that is the best time of year - although the weather is usually better so it may prove to be a good idea.
