Internal decorations started
As you may have noticed the internal decorations have started. This will mean that over the new few months there will be a lot of fresh paint applied onto the inside of Regatta Point. Please take care when moving around areas that are being decorated. The workmen from PFG will be starting at the Eastern end of the building and moving towards the West.
Please let Neil know immediately of any issues that you have.
Please note:
Any pictures etc that residents have put up on walls will have to be removed.
The sauna and gym will be out of service for a prolonged period for refurbishment – notice will be given.
Spectacular Spectacular
This Saturday’s BBQ set to be a great one. If you don’t know already the theme is Moulin Rouge (get the film out beforehand to see for the first time or to refresh your memory). As per previous years you bring your own food to barbecue but we will provide the plates, cutlery, glasses, relish, napkins and a welcoming drink.
We are also expecting many entries for the pudding competition which is always fiercely contested (anyone please bring along a home made pudding in the Moulin Rouge theme).
We’d love you to dress up in a Moulin Rouge costume as there’s a bottle of champagne to win for the best entry.
Since he was such a smash hit last year we are very very pleased the X-Factor finalist Austin Drage has also agreed to make a return appearance – if you saw him last year you will recall what a great musical entertainer his is.
Whatever attracts you – please come along a make new friendships or catch-up with your neighbours. We’d love to see you and your friends there. Best off all it’s free!

The following are minutes from the regular liaison meeting with Bulger.
42 KBR Meeting 10 July 2014
In Attendance Mark Varley & Martyn Brooks (Bugler), George Cross & David Nightingale (Regatta Point, Mark Fullalove & Liz Morton (Thames Row)
Note- for full schedule of events please see noticebaord
Completion Riverside Building Nov-15
Bugler Contract Completion Date Nov-15
Party Wall MF advised that TR leaseholders PW awards due for sign off next week
RegattaPW status is currently unclear clear: GC to contact Surveyor Peter Messenger urgently to clarify
GC concerned whether piling could start without PW in place.
MV advised piling works had to commence Monday 14 July/possibly restricted to areas outside PW purview?
Reinforced Concrete Framing: GC noted noise/dust nuisance problems with concrete polishing on Kew Bridge site. MV/MB advised that 42KBR required no polished concrete, and more passive levelling would be employed. If this situation changes, MV/MB will advise in advance
Last concrete lorries due on site 4pm daily, to meet site working hour requirements
It may happen that works will go beyond 6pm, to complete concrete sections, but MV advised this would be rare. MV cited 3 such instances, over the course of a construction, on,previous similar jobs
Thames Row Issues:
Thames Row Boundary Wall: 2340mm height will remain from front through to Thames-side. May be reduced to follow slope at Thames-side? TBC?. Section B shows potential height at Thames-side is 3.2m + 2.3m =5.5 m from Thames Path? Will be rebuilt in similar brick where it has been completely taken down (roughly in line with TR east flank wall)
Thames Row Access Visibility: Domed mirror on site, but awaiting a strap to be able to get it installed. MB agreed to chase this asap
Thames Row Planting Beds: LM raised issue of any further scaffolding on the Thames Row side (which would encroach on the existing gardens). MV/MD advised that due to the position of the new building, vs the beds, that it would not be likely
Lighting on Thames Path: MF queried whether new LED Thames Path streetlights, missed out because of scaffolding, were to be replaced. MB advised that council were aware of change in scaffold status, and would be dealing with this
Regatta Point Issues:
Shared Wall RP/42 KBR:
1. Noise transfer DN raised issue of noise transfer between balcony of 42KBR and RP main building. MV/MB reassured him that there was a minimum 400mm clear void between the recessed new balcony and his own. Also advised there were 4 skins between the 2 buildings, which would have to meet stringent noise requirements
2. Integrity DN/GC raised a query about thei ntegrity of the existing wall
MV/MB pointed out that it is in fact two walls: the mural wall is separate to the retaining red wall of RP, which is in any case reinforced at the base. As this wall is not being touched, its integrity is not at issue, but MV said it was unlikely to be at risk .
Regatta Point Mural: Undertaking exists to keep at least 1 metre of mural: MV advises that significantly more than this may remain. MV/MB mentioned that this wall is ‘live’ (i.e. potentially unstable) but doesn’t affect RP directly
Brick Stock: Sample Wall has been built: pale grey and beige. There will be a 70/30 colour mix, alternating
Next Meeting Thursday 28 Aug 9 a.m. TBC
St George’s liaison meeting – June 2014
The following are the minutes from the regular liaison meeting between St George’s, Regatta Point Directors and Residents Representative which took place on Friday the 13th of June at 08:30.
ATTENDEES:
George Cross (Regatta Point Freehold Limited Director), Mo Bowyer (Regatta Point Resident), Sean Chappell (St. George’s Project Director) and Malcolm Wood (St. George’s Land Director).
APOLOGIES:
None
MINUTES: (StG = St George’s RP= Regatta Point)
Piling work on final construction two thirds complete. Method is proving to be very quiet..
There has been a delay in construction caused by the need to re-route the gas services away from the pipe running alongside RP. The utility company has been slow in responding but they are now progressing the work.
The party wall agreement will be with the RP surveyor inspection and for sign-off next week. However, the piling rig is not available until July the 7th so that is the earliest date for the next phase to start. In the meantime excavation will continue. There will be some sporadic drilling in order to break up any structures or concrete found.
The Eastern wall has red paint on it because they indicate points on the wall where measurements have been taken and these points will be monitored on a regular basis to look out for any movement in the structure. Work would stop immediately if any movement was detected.
The final excavation is planned to be completed by the end of August.
All remaining buildings will then be built up to ground level (i.e. basements built). This is expected to be by October.
Construction of the concrete super structure for all buildings will then start – alternating from building to building as concrete is poured and sets. Concrete frame expected to be complete by end Jan 2015. The crane will then be dismantled.
Pub will be handed over to Fullers by the first of July for an 8 week fit-out.
Entire duration of development expected to last up to 2016.
Next meeting for Friday 12th September at 08:30
