We had a lot of festive fun with food, games and Gingerbread decorating for the kids. We even had a very special visitor - Father Christmas - who managed to find time during his busiest period to pop in and distibute a few presents. Black History Month We’d like to thank everyone who joined in our Black History Month celebrations on 31st October. The event held at The Pier Hotel was the first official Black History Month event ever held in Eastbourne and we were thrilled to see so many people there. The day involved fantastic performances from Ratton School and our own ECADO drummers as well as a fashion show of ethnic clothing and streetwear curtesy of Marcy’s Crib. A variety of African food was generously supplied by guests and there were informative presentations on Black History and other cultural issues.
