In August 2003, me and my wife baught our flat in the North Harbour.
we moved in as our second home in order to retire.
The whole of the Harbour ( North and South ) was a large building site... You will not recognise it now with nearly 6,500 residents in the North Harbour and nearly 3,500 residents in the South Harbour.
This year was my 70th birthday and I am still active in the Community as ever.
I was looking this morning at " Down Your Way " published in the Eastbourne Herald and in the write up " Sovereign Harbour " contributed by my friend Ian Weeks, I couldn't beleive how many activities are taking place down here in Sovereign Harbour.
you only have to look at Sovereign Harbour Residents Association Website www.shra.co.uk to realise this Community which was not in existance some 15 years ago, turned out to be the most dynamic in Eastbourne.
Imagine, we have now three Women Institutes ( not one !! ), an active Rotary Club ( one of five in Eastbourne), a Social Club with over 70 members who meet once a week for Coffee every Wed at 10am and have to be relocated to Simply Italian because Seamoors Wine Bar become too small to accomodate the ever increasing membership.....
The list go on and on... see for yourself... log on Community, then to "Down Your Way " then the latest write up on " Sovereign Harbour ".
My involvement with this Community is well documented.
In my opinion... it is not me to be congratulated on so much acheived over the years.... the residents of Sovereign Harbour should congratulated themselves for supporting the many activities which I initiated.
The Residents of Sovereign Harbour who came from different part of the Country, chose to settle in this beautiful part of England and make it there home.
In the process, they look for new friends, something to do and whatever the reason... they and only them are the winners who achieved so much in so little time.
Well done all of you .... raise a glass to your health... Cheers !!... and.... for more the same in years to come.
Congratulations.....
