2008
Friday 9th May Ernie and Stella organised a terrific Barn Dance and Supper in the Civil Service Sports Club. Music was provided brilliantly by the Catsfield Steamers, and over all we cleared £388 profit.
Friday 8th Feb. We ran our first Quiz Night in the White Rock Theatre. Nola McSweeney begged enough food from generous local shops to provide a Ploughman’s Supper for 150 people. Jeremy Birch acted as jovial quizmaster, Jim McSweeney did the maths, Kylie’s Carpets kindly provided bottles of wine as prizes, a good time was had by all – and we cleared £702 profit!
2007
Working together with Michael Foster, the Link produced a great Christmas card which was really a charity card with a difference. Thanks to Michael’s generosity, for every pack of 10 cards sold for £3.50, at least £2 went straight to the building project to ‘put the heart back into Hastings SL’.
Saturday 20th October
The Link staged an exhibition in Priory Meadow shopping mall from 9.30 to 5.30 and a generous Hastings public chipped in another £300.
Saturday 1st September
Fire Service Marathon Ladder Carry
Hastings firefighters ran up and down the seafront and through the town centre carrying a huge ladder. They raised £2924 to be divided between the Link and the Kipling Ward at the Conquest.
Friday 3rd August
The highlight of the year was the visit from the Milton Margai Blind School Choir. No-one who heard them sing will ever forget it. the youngsters themselves had a great time, as we took them to the Stade Amusements in the afternoon. It’s scary being in a bumper car driven by a blind teenager!
Monday 7th May
The LOAF walk was a great success that year. We raised over £8388!
Saturday 24th March
A Dinner Dance was held at the Phoenix Arts Centre in Parkstone Road, Hastings with music by King Mascoe and amazing West African food by Yvonne John and her team.
