Onwards

A meeting of interested parties discussed:

  • The need to start recording oral histories. The Dawlish talking newspaper, Hear and Now,  based in the community centre in The Strand Church, Dawlish, offered use of their recording studio. We need a volunteer to expedite this ASAP or the precious memories will be lost
  • Perhaps Starcross Primary School hall would be the ideal place to meet
  • There was no follow up to the successful Unearth project
  • Monica has a project to recreate the Galloper carousel which used to visit Starcross
  • Another project is to reproduce the eel trap which was on the end of Starcross pier during World War 2.
  • Malcolm Fairweather is kindly making a child's rocker in the form of The Swan of the Exe, and designing a one twelfth scale model of The Swan of the Exe
  • It has not yet been possible to get cheques signed to Starcross Primary School and Starcross preschool for £50 each, this being last year's prize money for Kattanga the War Horse on the 2018 Teignmouth Recycled Art in the Landscape sculpture trail. The school and preschool have merged so one cheque for £100 is now required. It could perhaps be stipulated that the preschool could choose how to spend £50.
  • Monica has 3 people who have agreed to speak at a meeting.
  • The next meeting should be the AGM so that a new committee can be elected. The main part of that meeting will be a speaker. The committee election need not take up much time. Quorum for this is 6
