PANDORA'S NATIVE BOX opens in HASTINGS!
SATURDAY JULY 28th 2007
THE THUNDER NATION DANCE GROUP
& PANDORA's TRADING POST
were
at the re-opening of
HASTINGS MUSEUM & ART GALLERY
The Johns Place site (just below Summerfields Sports Centre, in Bohemia Road) has been extensively refurbished over the past few months. The £1m investment (including a very significant contribution from the Heritage Lottery Fund) has made the building much more accessible, and has provided a much better shop, incorporating a coffee bar. Many new displays have been created, including one featuring a genuine Mod Lambretta to mark the famous Mods and Rockers battles of the early 1960s, another on John Logie Baird, who invented the television here in Hastings, and a much-expanded Native American display, featuring another famous son of Hastings, Grey Owl :- actually a Hastings Grammar school pupil, Archibald Stansfield Belaney.
To celebrate the Grey Owl connection, HASTINGS COUNCIL are privileged in having THUNDER NATION, performing at the opening ceremony.
They will be dancing in full regalia immediately after the official opening, at 2pm. And, to show that they have a modern side as well, there will be a contemporary performance at 11am, at the Museum.
Although the Museum will open at 2pm, the shop will be open from 11am, and light refreshments will also be available from 11am - AND PANDORA'S TRADING POST SHOP WILL BE OPEN THERE TOO for you to get all your GENUINE NATIVE AMERICAN JEWELLERY AND CRAFTS.
