To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the twinning of Dawlish with Carhaix, the Mayor and the Chairman of Dawlish Twinning Association, Ted Cameron, were presented with a gift of a traditional, hand crafted lace cap and collar.  These are now on display in the Museum, with photos and text explaining the custom of lace making in the area.  They are beautifully made and represent many, many hours of skilled work.
