Pics above: HOT’s own Launch Party in September. 200 visitors came to St Mary in the Castle to celebrate Hastings Online Times with fun and music and chilli vodka HOT SHOTS. The entertainment (L to R) was started off by The Lucky Ones. After some intriguing electronic sounds and a mystery ceremony, Lorraine Bowen (Chalkwell Ladies) set to with her trademark ironing board. The evening concluded with dancing to Red Diesel.
