COMMITTEE Now is the time to start planning for the coming year.  This starts with the preparation of the Budget, which is now complete, and the package for  the Annual General Meeting on  26th June 2015 We are looking for new Committee Members.  This year Lawrence Wolstenholme resigned: Richard Cooper sold his property: and Bev Stockley has decided not to stand again.  If you are interested in joining the Committee and would like to know more, please contact me and I will be happy to run through the kind of things which we do.  Everyone is welcome .... and I really believe that each and every Owner could make their own valuable contribution to the work in their own way. POOL Shortly the work on pool will be completed when the red surround is repainted.  If I am advised of the date I will put it on here. GARAGE The garage will have a clean in May.  This will include the drains.  I will let you know the date so tha...

I am currently at Albatros enjoying the lovely weather which has returned after some time of strong winds. ...... lucky me to have missed all that.  Commiserations to those who had this for the whole of their stay. GARDENS Once again the large pots with small trees in have been blown over.  These have been replaced at a cost of around 90€ each for the last 2, if not 3, years.  The Committee have decided to look at other options for the containers, probably something lower and broader based that will not catch the wind. Other than that, all I have to say is that the gardens are looking lovely with splashes of colour from the flowers,  The 2 beds opposite the fountain which had large conifers removed last year are looking very smart and the remaining plants can be appreciated to the full now that they are not fighting for light. More photos in the gallery. APARTMENT GROUND FLOOR CORRIDOR Jose Luis has started work on the groun...

NEW GARAGE GRILLES The new aluminium grilles have been fitted and I hope you agree that they look very smart......... and they should remain so for many years to come and do away with a lot of maintenance costs.  No more rust. POOLS Both pools are now refilled with fresh water and undergoing treatment........ 21 02 15 A price is being negotiated for painting the red zone before the summer.

EGM 30th JANUARY Thank you to all who attended the Meeting and to those who used their Proxy Vote ..... much appreciated.  The Minutes will be with you as soon as possible .  Once again the CISSMU Centre proved the ideal venue and at a hire cost of 30€, I don't think you can better it. It is evident from comments made at the Meeting that the top floor corridor painting and repair of cracks has been a success. The apartment corridor cleaners have completed one of their 'big cleans' this week.  I have never seen so many containers of cleaning fluid, cloths, brushes, mops, dusters, step ladders etc.  It was a very thorough job.  The windows have been cleaned and also the walls in the lift.  They do these additional cleans several times a year. POOL Work has started on the pools and both have been emptied ready for repair work and cleaning.  When completed both pools will be refilled with fresh water. Tiles missing in the main pool ...

Happy New Year everyone and best wishes for 2015. I have been quiet over the last few weeks which is not to say that I haven't been busy !! I am at Albatros between 13th January and 10th February.  We have been here for a week and have had some beautiful, sunny days.  The evenings are chilly though.  Have you adjusted the draught excluder on your door?  The picture below shows the activator which should be sticking out when the door is open.  There is a slot on it to enable it to be adjusted.  When the door shuts the activator is pushed in and the draught excluder fills the space between the door and the floor. EGM PACKAGE You should all have received your package relating to the Meeting on Friday 30th January .  There is only one voting item.  If you have any problems with the form, please contact me and I will help. APARTMENT ROOF                            ...

ACCOUNTS I have been checking our accounts this week and am delighted to report that they remain in a very healthy state within the set budgets for each item. NEW PAGES Please note the new pages that are list at the top right hand side of the Blog.  I will be adding information on the topics listed there as well as on here.  It´s just a way of keeping all info on one topic together.  I'm having to reset the layout of the Statutes as I can't copy them directly onto here which is why it will be Work in Progress for a while. APARTMENT ROOF The roof area has had a thorough clean and the marble capping has been washed.  Many workmen out of sight up there are not very considerate when it comes to disposing of their rubbish as they work on your aircon units in particular.  As the tiles have been angled towards the drains that have to cope with sudden downpours, all these odd bits of cable ties and bits of boxes end up in our drains.  Blocked drains,...
