Beggar knocking on doors at Regatta Point

A beggar was knocking on flat doors today 30th March 2020 asking for money. He has been reported to the police with reference CAD4383.

He is white of medium build and around 5’10” tall with dark hair and a beard and moustache. Last seen wearing a hooded green parka and carrying a Tesco carrier bag.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL – don’t allow tailgating at the front doors and only (via the intercom system) allow in delivery drivers you are expecting.

We believe he has been on site previously being obviously familiar with how to exit the building when escorted towards the doors by a resident.

Corona Virus Update

Dear Residents,
As you are no doubt aware, the Government is asking us to make unprecedented changes to the way we live in order to combat the Corona Virus. 
Our contribution is to ask Michael, our Caretaker to stay at home.

None of Michael’s tasks will be carried out and, in particular, regular cleaning will no longer take place. We ask that you tolerate the accumulating dust and do your bit to keep things tidy. 

Consequently, and with immediate effect;

If you become ill, follow the latest Government advice, self-isolate, and limit your use of Regatta Point facilities.  

The Guest Rooms are closed.

The Sauna is closed and should not be used. 

The Gardeners will no longer be attending. 

The bins in the car park will be sealed. 

We asked that you help the refuge collection by compacting your rubbish (especially the cardboard) as much as possible.

As is standard policy – do not dump any unwanted items in the bin rooms. 

GYM
We realise that the gym may be a helpful way to keep fit and de-stress. However, it is an environment that generates a lot of vapour as you exercise. Therefore, at your own risk – only one household at a time should use the gym. If someone else is already in their please wait and try later. Wipe down all the equipment you have used.

GARDENS
The gardens will remain open for Residents to use but please use them within Government restrictions of one exercise session outside per day and keep 2 metres apart. 

Managing Agent
HML Shaws are continuing to operate but all are working from home and they are being bombarded with a lot of questions about the current situation so please bear with them. 

Meanwhile, at Regatta Point, the Directors are trying to anticipate issues that may arise and we hope you all will be able to contribute by fitting in with the above requests. You are the most powerful tool that we have to defeat this infection. 

Thank you for you continued support. 

The Directors,
Regatta Point Freehold Limited

With Great Regret

It is with a heavy heart and much regret that we have to announce the resignation of
Stephanie Henderson-Brown as a Director of Regatta Point Freehold Limited.

This was not an easy decision for Steph. The other Directors would like to thank her warmly for her eleven years of dedicated service to Regatta Point, for the countless hours of work, her passion to get things done right and for the energy and enthusiasm she brought to the table when the rest of us were flagging.

Steph has kindly agreed to stay on as our Garden Consultant with the very public responsibility of continuing to make sure the gardens are a pleasure to look out upon every day.

We hope you will join us in wishing Steph all the very best for the future.

If there are any budding replacement Directors out there we would love to hear from you at
directors@regattapoint.co.uk

This is not always a job for the feint hearted but it is a great way to look after your home and to ensure it is a pleasant place to live. We’ve even written a job description …
