Club Closure, thanks to M B Hotels ltd

The decent, honest and honourable men who own M B Hotels Ltd. have finally managed to force us to vacate our club premises, despite the agreement the club had with them until July, 2012.

Our website has been changed to reflect this fact, and do check it out as the whole sorry story will be published in the weeks ahead.

However we are determined to continue and are actively looking for premises in the area. Friends of mine very kindly agreed to store everything for us in their dry basement (but surprisingly declined to let us set up the club track there).

If anyone in the East Sussex area hears of suitable premises at an affordable rent (a minimum space of 25 x 25 feet, dry and warm), then please send me a PM.

The club will revert to its original name of the Bexhill Scale Slot Car Club (I can't quite stomach the idea of any reference to the High Beech Hotel with its cockroaches), and we'll let you know what the situation is as things develop.

Many thanks for the messages of support we have received.

Martin

The problem is that many landlords are being paid by councils and then get relief and tax breaks so its more expensive for them to let the property out than to keep it empty!!!, how stupid.
We are having the same problem with our council and Burnt Oak are moving within the next month as their landlord has increased the rent to an excessive amount because they want to sell the land and build houses or some such on it.

PS Happy new year and good luck
