The local Company Rambler Coaches has come to the help of next year's
Hastings Half Marathon organisers(Hastings Lions Club),when the established
Stagecoach Organisation, who had previously supplied buses for the last 25
years, had to pull out due to increased demands on their services.
The Lions Club would like to Thank Stagecoach for their Fantastic support
over the years, which has been of great benefit to The Event, especially
with the introduction of the hugely popular Park and Ride Scheme on Race
Day, which now caters for over three hundred vehicles.
Upon hearing about the problem, Colin Rowland, owner of Rambler Coaches was
quick to offer their Services. They had previously supplied one Coach for
the Start/Finish area on Race Day, but were happy to supply a further number
of Busses and Coaches to cover the Race Area, and the Park and Ride
operations.
This has been a terrific response by Rambler Coaches, which at this stage of
planning, could have been a problem for the organisers, but by jumping into
such prompt action has quickly solved a possible serious problem.
Race Director Eric Hardwick M.B.E. stated his grateful Appreciation to
Rambler Coaches for their prompt offer.
The date of the 2013 Half Marathon is Sunday 24th March, and entries are
