So as Laurel so gracefully wrote in her email to me, we've finally pulled our fingers out of our arses and got the meets up and running again.



Same place as last year, in Alexandra park, which those of you who have been there before - will agree its a very pretty place to be.

There is a café, public toilets open until 6.30 and and boating lake.



Unfortunatly Hastings and Rother park rangers tell us we can't spin fire in the park, so when the time comes we walk the 3/4 of a mile to the beach. Usually pit stopping at the Pig in Paradise pub which has reasonably priced good food. And like...beer on tap and everything biggrin







On the 21st of May we shall meet from 2 onwards on the large bit of grass inside the main entrance. You can't miss it. Theres a large white war memorial to the left of the field and a boating lake just yonder.



It's actually impossible to find a map of Hastings which includes the station, and the park. When Laurel has told me directions I'll stick them on here.

I don't remember road names. I don't need too. My feet work out the exact angle of the hill I'm walking up/down and I can tell exactly where I am....in relation to the hills.

Hastings is hilly.



Anyway, it's a really easy route from station to the park, and I'll get directions up on here soon smile





About the park

Hastings taxi's





Please note. Hastings isn't always the prettiest place. People can be rude, and hurty with knifes and things (really making you guys wanna come here ey? wink )





We don't live in a ghetto, but this place dosn't exactly have the friendliest chavs/immigrants/drunks wink

If you are comming alone, please alert a Hastinger. My mobile number is available by request and I am more than willing to come meet you should you arrive by train. Especially if you are arriving when its dark.



As per usual all skill levels, ages, races welcome.



Hope to see some familier faces on May 21st! biggrin



(notage: If people wish to come on the saturday from afar, I'm sure I can rustle up some floor space at my dads house..or even mums if shes feeling special as its closer biggrin Give me a buzz and I'll see what I can do. Also notage: I'm not sure how many spinners will be around on the saturday. I will be after work, but I can do some rustling of the hastingers and once again, I'll see what I can do smile )



hug

I'll back this girlie up when she says don't come alone.

Also if anyone doesn't want to taxi from the station, PM me or add me on MSN (interactiveteacup[at]hotmail.com) if you'd like a few of us Hastings-ites to walk up to the station and collect ya. I'd say it's about a half hour walk at the very most.

Hoping to get some cool photos as well as we have access to a pretty park with lakes and trees (yes aimee, trees...).

If you're not yet tempted, there's a playpark too. schwing!

Hope to see you there, the more there merrier! weavesmiley

hurrah

even if the play park dosn't excite you, theres the tree walk bounce

'The walk is one kilometre in length and will take 30-40 mins at a leisurely stroll.'

c'mon people lets practice our leisurely strolls *step step step step*

will there be tea and scones?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Its a bit of trek for you, isn't it Ben? though tea and scones.................

My state of mind is not yours to define!

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

doable trecking distance is proportional to scone quality tongue hehe although considering the distance and the absense of lexyness itd have to be a hell of a scone

Is this gonna be a regular thing?

I used to live in Hastings, and my Dad still does, so I stay with him now and again.

I should be down again some time in the summer, I think.

But, yeah, Hastings and alone at night don't go well together!!

Empty your mind. Be formless, Shapeless, like Water.
Put Water into a cup, it becomes the cup, put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, put water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Water can flow, or it can Crash.
Be Water My Friend.

I went up to Brighton a couple of days ago from Hastings and I coulda sworn that it never took that long. I've just looked it up though and it says 1:23 for me too. censored

Would it help matters if we put a bit of monies towards your train fare or something, or is it more of a time issue?

Sorry for no showing Aimée but yeah.. The train would have sucked too hard. And plus I had to meat up with a potential housemate in the evnening and I wouldn't have been able to stay for long.

Thanks for making me a green thing though! If it's non perishable I'd love to recieve it some other time... smile

"Recieve" is quite a suggestive word..

Well, I made the green thing for kirsty, but I have a similar blue and yellow thing if you would like that?
Sorry I didn't text back. I was halfway through teaching laurel 'the swooshy thing that goes all over your head like that', and then I forgot all about my phone as I was in fear for my life..Be there next time smelly!

Who went home with Marcs glasses btw?

Hurrah for Hastings!!
