After a visit from the fire brigade we have been served with a licence review relating to the out dated fire proofing in the pub. We have until 23rd of February to satisfy them that the work has been done. This work includes fire proofing all levels to 30 minutes of fire resistance. That means new ceilings, fire doors to be installed and the most expensive part being a hard wired fire alarm. The estimated cost of this is around £5000. A cost that we just can not afford. The pub has never been about making money. It's always been about the love of live music and promoting young and up and coming bands. If we can not meet the requirements of the enforcement notice we will be left with no other option than to close down. Even if you could just spare a pound to help towards these costs it may well help us to keep the fire officer happy and continue to put on events and bring more bands and artists to Hastings. If you got this far thank you for taking your time to read this. If you're able to donate we will forever be indebted and we thank you in advance. Paul and the Tub crew Tublife x
