Dawlish Discussion

A STREET party attracted crowds to Dawlish today after community groups set up their stalls on The Strand.

Shops and businesses joined in to create a real party atmosphere.

There was free face painting and family entertainment including brass bands and a Punch and Judy show.

There was also a chance to join Dawlish’s Guinness World Record attempt for the most people popping party poppers on the Lawn.

Tomorrow, the Lawn will host the annual Royal British Legion Party in the Park from 11am…

Now if only you'd posted that yesterday, we could have taken the kids there...

@Mcjrpc  it was posted on the events.

Thanks,  I wasn't actively looking for something to do, but would have gone if I'd dug deeper. I guess that's the  difference between push and pull notifications.

@Mcjrpc.

Not only was it in the Events, but the following was posted by Michael Clayson on Wednesday in the Bandstand Forum post.

It was also advertised in the Town Crier. http://www.dawlish.gov.uk/edit/uploads/1275.pdf

Thanks for such a fastidious post Carer, and so early in the morning too.  Did you wet the bed? 

We made a 260 round trip today to visit, eat ice-cream from our favourite shop and spend time just chilling.

Thanks to everyone in Dawlish and the Warren for making it another great visit.

Party in the Park was fantastic yet again. Well done to the RBL for organising such a great event. Token Joker were my highlight!

Yea, you could see the work that went into the staging. Whatever eventually replaces the bandstand could (hopefully/I'm sure) make these events a 'must play' venue for artists etc.   

@Mcjrpc

I'm sure that all the people who volunteer their time and their services freely for this event, will be so pleased to read your sarcastic remark regarding the stage.

Have you done anything to assist the day and help out to make the day better for everyone?

That was not a sarcastic comment Carer, I thought the staging was excellent.  

Do you really need to hijack posts with your petty and ill founded animosity?

Hijack posts?

Lets see now, who started going on about party in the park in this Saturday Street Party Thread?
Not me.

End Of.

Carer, to be fair, it was your post that first mentioned Party In The Park on this thread at 05:09 yesterday. 

..shes so nasty.. nothing ever changes

I always assumed Carer was male... 

Let's leave it eh.  The point is I was complimenting the event.
