East Hill Walk 26th October 2010

This is a 'not so arduous' East Hill/Country Park ramble, avoiding the up and down cliff steps. Well, once we've climbed the steps as the lift is only open at weekends from now until I think March.

Meet at the bottom of Tackleway steps at 10, trekking sticks a good idea. The 20A bus will drop you at either The Cutter or around the corner at Roebuck St. Walk up The Bourne, take Courthouse Street on your left, and cross over Tackleway to the steps (or come up Tamarisk Steps from The Front. (Avert your eyes from the mess that is currently The Stade)

Arcadia – a new installation about Hastings Pier, from Friday 5thNovember

The recent devastation of Hastings Pier will cast a poignant light on an exhibition opening in Hastings Town Centre in November. Arcadia is a long-planned installation by St. Leonard’s artist, Danny Pockets, exploring the glory and vulnerability of the pier and examines its social and physical architecture. The work is the winning submission to the new Sussex Coast College Art Prize, which is run by Sussex Coast College Hastings with support from the Jerwood Foundation. The show is under construction in the Circle Gallery at Sussex Coast College Hastings. Arcadia launches with a private viewing on 5thNovember and will be open to the public from Monday 8th November.

Hastings Week coming up and we are all devastated!

It is hard to know what to say - we have all been fighting so hard to keep our pier and at last there seemed a glimmer of hope on the horizon - now this. Hastings Pier & White Rock Trust – HPWRT
