I love networking. I may have said before! Today I went to Hastings for the purpose of networking in a new area. Held by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Let’s Do Business Group, I went networking at Hastings United Football Club.
Networking in Different Locations
Generally, a lot of networking groups hold their events at the same place every time. However, Hastings Chamber of Commerce do things a little differently. Â
Â
Many business connections and problems have been solved through networking. And that is why Hastings Chamber of Commerce occasionally take their meetings to the venues concerned.
Â
This month the networking meeting was held at Hastings United Football Club.
A New Vision for Hastings United FC
Hastings United Football Club has a new vision to bring the current football club up to date. This vision, in essence, includes a brand new clubhouse and three new football pitches on the Tilekiln playing fields. Although outline planning permission was approved in June 2022, these plans have, since, met a dead end.
In brief, Hastings Borough Council, who own the Tilekiln playing fields, has now decided not to sell the land to Hastings United Football Club.
As a result, the Football Club are asking people like you to sign the petition to urge the council to rethink their decision. Although the petition has been signed by 2,073 people, they still need a lot more people’s support so it can carry some weight.
The petition is at http://www.change.org/p/save-children-s-football-in-hastings-back-tilekiln-football-park
