Event Overview

On Friday, 21st November 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming guests to the Brunswick Arms to celebrate the official launch of the new Dawlish Cup. The occasion was marked by the presence of Councillor Rosie Dawson, Vanessa Ryley, and members of the Dawlish Against Plastic Steering Group, all of whom played a significant role in bringing this initiative to fruition.

Distinguished Guests

We were delighted to be joined by the artist Tessa Challenger, Martin Wrigley MP, members of the Dawlish Chamber of Trade committee, and other valued guests who contributed to the success of the gathering. Their support and engagement highlight the strong community spirit that underpins this project.

Invitation to Local Businesses

As part of the ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility, we are inviting local businesses to join our new Reusable Cup Scheme. The scheme has been thoughtfully designed to offer incentives to both businesses and the public, with the aim of encouraging widespread participation. By promoting the use of reusable cups for takeaway drinks, we hope to reduce reliance on single-use cups, which are typically discarded in local bins and subsequently incinerated.

Encouraging Sustainable Choices

Through this initiative, we encourage everyone in the community to remember to bring their reusable cups when purchasing takeaway drinks. Together, we can make a positive difference by reducing waste and fostering sustainable habits for the benefit of Dawlish and the environment.
