It was better back then
He must have been working with his eyes closed.
In the past, the Pavilion was always buzzing with events. There was a lovely restaurant, cafeteria and bar (which was always busy and stated open until 11pm).
There were lots of shows and functions: weddings - sometimes two a week; Glyndebourne Opera weekend; the Friday Night is Music Night programme was aired on BBC radio from the DLWP; police and mayors’ balls, coaches booked for lunches and teas; art society; theatre group; dancing on the terrace; bands on Sundays -- I could go on.

It’s been a disappointment for the local people, and only people like Mr McNaughton and people outside the area think it’s wonderful.
It was a marvellous place to visit in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. I should know because I was working there for all those years!
Incidentally, I have yet to meet one person who likes the new promenade, so I’m afraid Mr McNaughton, I personally think you are in the minority. I think Jackie Bialeska does speak for the majority of people in Bexhill.
