Friends Of Hastings Pier

Very sad to report that the Hastings Pier Charity administrators have flown in the face of public opinion, common sense and business sense. This is the email sent to the HPC shareholders this evening.😰We shall regroup to consider next steps. #HastingsPier mailchi.mp/hpcharity/hast…

2/with sand strewn around the decking. A paddling pool..hook a duck game & today, by the main gate, what appeared to be someone selling jumble out of a suitcase ! What a shame. @FOHP2018 @AmberRuddHR

Continuing our review of 2018, live from tomorrow at 8am on hastingsinfocus.co.uk 'The Battle for Hastings Pier' @FOHP2018 @JerichoJess @adamwide1 @HACC1066 @hastings_museum @hastingslibrary @1066Tweets @hastingsonline @hastingsbc

@FOHP2018 I'm sorry, but how was Gulzar even allowed to be in the running for the pier when he owes this much to creditors?! How far away from bankruptcy is he?

@dollyrockaUK We don't know.

Terrible News: Why Why Why would the Heritage Lottery Fund hand this public asset over to a private businessman, after investing 11 million of public money and all the local initiatives which are keen to make it a community owned pier? This needs protest and investigation! twitter.com/FOHP2018/statu…

@ckappenberg Personally, I think that would be fruitless. [Jim]

@FOHP2018 What do we do, a public sit in on the pier, invite the Press, and ask the HLF for a public meeting to explain what is going on?

Retweeted Salena Godden (@salenagodden): My mum has just been telling me about this... please share and spread the word, support @FOHP2018 #hastingspier twitter.com/fohp2018/statu…

@Count_Backwerdz Perhaps he hoped that a gold car won;'t be noticeable on yellow lines! 😁

@jelly2eat He has a gold coloured Mercedes, that's true. Not sure if he's rich. But he did get given the pier.

Extraordinary lack of communication from the 'Pirate of Eastbourne'! No explanation about where our expensive marketing collateral has disappeared too & why he doesn't want events @Hastings_Pier @HastingsObs @HastingsOnlineT @FOHP2018 Oh well... moving events to @MaryintheCastle

It's a real shame we had to move our performances from @Hastings_Pier in August, all these lovely people will be deprived of a unique experience! And our charity has taken a big financial hit.. having to move venues at short notice.. @HastingsObs @HastingsOnlineT @FOHP2018

The new owner of @Hastings_Pier clearly has no intention of supporting cultural events .. all our marketing disappeared, breaking the contract we had for supportive infrastructure. He sounds like a Pirate! Is he an asset stripper? @HastingsOnlineT @HastingsObs @FOHP2018

Another visit to Hastings Pier & its Friends campaign! @1066Tweets steveonhastings.blogspot.com/2018/07/a-visi… #SteveonHastings

@OperaAnywhere @KS_coralmoral @RealHumptyB @1066Tweets @Visit1066 @HastingsObs @HastingsOnlineT @Hastings_Pier @LordBrett1066 Rumours also saying that all future events cancelled, not just yours. Can't verify at present.

@KS_coralmoral @RealHumptyB @FOHP2018 @1066Tweets @Visit1066 @HastingsObs @HastingsOnlineT @Hastings_Pier @LordBrett1066 we're not local so what do we know! But from our experience and bits of information we have gleaned from other users, he sounds like a Trumpite! All the publicity has disappeared not just ours but other promoters.. no interest in culture me thinks..he wants events to fail
