With the Hastings Pier Charity in administration, and the Pier having been put up for sale by the administrators, the Friends of Hastings Pier has been re-formed as a voice for shareholders and supporters, and to campaign to keep Hastings Pier in community ownership.
An emerging local business plan is being compiled and the Friends of Hastings Pier is seeking to unite shareholders and supporters behind the plan to keep the Pier in community ownership. Consequently, a meeting has been called for Monday 23rd of April 2018, from 7.30 to 9.30pm at the White Rock Theatre opposite the Pier. Members of Friends of Hastings Pier will be having a coffee on the Pier beforehand at 6.30pm.
Your support is being requested at the meeting, on their twitter page, join their facebook page, or email them at friendsofhastingspier@gmail.com if you cannot make the meeting but would like to join Friends of Hastings Pier and/or to offer your support.
Indeed, we can still save Hastings Pier as a community asset!
This may be "very old hat" now but can any on tell me what actually happened to all our share holders money in the end.

As far as I'm aware that money was lost to the Pier's supporters and 'shareholders' as soon as the Pier went into administration, subsequently bought for a pittance by the present owner, sorry, but it was something to do with the 'type' of shares they were.
