As you will have heard by now, there will be no play park on the Green until the autumn at the earliest, so that means we have revived our programme for one more year at least.
The provisional dates are in the panel on the right hand side of this page.
The big news is that the fireworks are very much back on again, and the Red Devils will be joining us for the third year in a row.
There will be beer and pig racing, owls and bees on the Green.
The Red Devils' spectacular drop on to the Green has become a firm favourite with the holiday crowds, and they seem to enjoy the hospitality of Paignton on a summer's day!
There have also been some changes on our committee, with Ken Robertson moving 'upstairs' to the role of President after a long and distinguished spell as chairman. Julie Norman is our vice-president.
Al Wyatt has moved from vice-chairman into the hotseat vacated by Ken, and Rachel Tapper has become the new vice-chairman. Becky Tapper is our new secretary for 2011.

Please feel free to cut it out and paste it on your own websites or blogs, or print it out and display it around the place.
People with iPhones can't resist scanning QR codes, and who can blame them? It will all help to spread the word about our great event.
There has been some sad news. We are very sorry to report the death of Mo Procter, a long-time supporter of Paignton Regatta. Mo was such a great ambassador for the regatta during her husband Tony's time as chairman, and as Ken said, we will all miss her smiling face on the Green and her readiness to muck in and help with whatever needed doing. Our thoughts are with Tony and all the family.
