We encourage and record research which supports our objectives. Good architecture, design and town planning is encouraged.

Fishing for a sense of place: major new survey
http://hastingsonlinetimes.co.uk/hastings-life/hastings-people/fishing-survey-under-control-nt

A survey has been launched to find out how the fishing fleet influences the way people feel about Hastings. Working with the Hastings Fisheries Local Action Group (FLAG), the University of Greenwich’s School of Science is conducting a major new survey, called Sensing Fishing Places, to find out how marine fishing contributes to a sense of place in Hastings.

If you live or work in Hastings and would like to take part in this survey, please go to the following link to complete the survey online. Or, for a paper copy of the survey, please contact Dr Julie Urquhart at GIFS@greenwich.ac.uk, telephone 0208 331 8227/9751 or pick one up at the University of Brighton in Hastings campus reception in Priory Square. The survey will run until 19 April 2013. Join others in shaping the voice of what marine fishing means for our coastal communities today.

Help!

The OHPS is in desperate need of a Treasurer and possibly someone willing to help with financial routines at The fishermen’s Museum.

Our current treasurer has given sterling service for many years and over a year ago announced her intention to resign,.but she has soldiered on in the interim while we look for a replacement.

If you can help please contact Carol Porter on 812662, or Anne Scott at the History House. 424744 or email.
