Sovereign Harbour residents start a community hall fund Published Date: 20 January 2010
MEMBERS of Sovereign Harbour Social Club discussed funding for a community hall at a recent meeting and started a building fund.
The club has been waiting for a community hall for some time and it is hoped that both Eastbourne Borough Council and East Sussex County Council will help fund the facility.
It was also suggested that a building fund be put in place to allow residents of Sovereign Harbour to purchase a little bit of the community hall by buying a brick for £10.
Cllr Margaret Salsbury was invited to speak to social club members at the meeting and she donated the first £10 herself.
Other members were keen to follow in a bid to help the cause.

Sovereign Harbour - A Cry out from the Depth
Today Wed 20th of January - the weather in the Harbour, wet and miserable.
Sovereign Harbour Social Club had an unusual Turn Out of over 45 members gathered at once.
Seamoor Wine Bar where members meet every Wed. at 10am have never seen anything like it before.
Some members could not squeeze a seat and left standing at the bar.
A new couple, I have never seen before, have recently moved into the harbour, asked this question - Is it always like this ??
Well, to tell you the trueth, we have now over 90 subscribed members.
Seamoor Wine Bar can only take about 40 seated customers.
Our Club average weekly attandence is about 35.
When the weather is foul outside and nowhere else to go in the Harbour; Where else to head but the Social Club.
It is wrong, absolutly owful to think, our elected representatives couldn't careless for this Community in Sovereign Harbour.
WE ARE CRYING OUT FROM THE DEPTH - PLEASE, PLEASE OPEN UP CARILLION OFFICES TO BE USED AS SOVEREIGN HARBOUR YOUTH AND COMMUNITY CENTRE.
Thank You.

Sovereign Harbour Issues - are they HOT POTATOS
Just recently, I have invited High Profiled Politicians to Sovereign Harbour Social Club for Older People.
My polite e-mail invitation to come and visit our Club went unanswered.
Most probably ingnored or deleted as unimportant.
Our politicians, by not bothering to pay us visits, even when we, who elected them, made the efforts to invite them to visit our patch - show there true colour.
what chance do we have then, for all of us who live in Sovereign Harbour, to relay direct messages to them.
Are they not supposed to represent all of us ??
Are they not supposed to listen to us ???
then Why shy away from us ??
Does this mean Sovereign Harbour Community is a Hot Potato no one want to handle or be seen nowhere near.
I realy wounder !!!
Wouldn't you ??
It is time, our politicians take the courage and come out of there closets and help this community in Sovereign Harbour.
After all, we pay them to take care of us.
