Albatros News

NIGHT GUARD As  an emergency measure and in response to some anti-social behaviour during the night time hours, a night guard has started working on Albatros.  It is with some regret that this unanimous decision was taken ..... we had always hoped that it would not be necessary.  Other complexes nearby have night guards and I think Albatros became the easy option for night time swimming in a lovely pool, regardless of the pool rules or the Code of Conduct relating to anti-social behaviour.  It's a big enough nuisance when one person thinks this way but when he brings 10 or more of his friends back at 05:30 to join in, disturbing occupants of nearby properties, and involving the police, it is getting out of hand.  I was then advised that occupants of other properties were joining in and the Committee felt that it was time to do more than send letters. There are sufficient funds in the budget to cover the cost and we are looking at asking the Owners of properties involved

A DISAPPOINTING START Graffiti ........ has appeared on a house wall by the satellite dish...... I don't have the full details yet about which house, but when I have those details, I will write to the Owner.  T he area affected is about 14" long and the letters 4" high.  David Newman has tried to remove it but without success so I have asked for it to be painted as a matter of urgency as it is unsightly and could attract other mindless attempts.  The name on the wall is PATRIC.   Not sure if the vandal was interrupted; can't spell; or is it a name in another language? The Pool Steps  ......... have been broken and it is unlikely that this has happened because of normal use.  One set, and maybe both, will need repair or replacing.  They were inspected and repaired before the summer and to have to do it again is disappointing and costly . The Pool Guard  ........ is there for everyone's safety and to help ensure that the pool is kept to the expected standa

AGM 2015 The AGM was held on 26th June with Owners from 14 properties attending and 40 voting by proxy.  My concern over such small numbers is that we all have a high stake in the Community and should be vigilant on how the affairs of the Community are being handled.   Other communities in Spain have been caught out when 'less than honest' officials have taken advantage of the communal funds.  We have safeguards in that the Committee oversees the President and the Administrator oversees us all but I would urge all Owners to play a part in the process and be fully aware of how the fees are used........ and demonstrate this by using your vote. I have prepared the Minutes of the Meeting which are currently being checked before distribution. POOL The pool guard started on 24th June and I ask everyone to give him full support in ensuring that the Pool Rules are followed.  Tomas is Norwegian and has an excellent command of English as well as German and Spanish.  He i
