Regatta Point Summer Moulin Rouge themed BBQ

Leave a Reply

moulinLadies & Gentlemen, you are cordially invited to the Summer BBQ to be hosted on the pier from 6pm on Saturday July the 26th.  This year’s theme is Moulin Rouge and we hope that you will join in the competitions for the best Moulin Rouge style pudding or the best Moulin Rouge style costume.  We expect competition to be fierce and fun!

As per usual, the Social Committee will be working hard to provide you with the BBQs, plates, cutlery, glasses, napkins, soft drinks and a welcoming glass of wine.  All you have you do is bring your own food and all the latest gossip.

Please take this opportunity to re-acquaint yourselves with long lost neighbours or meet them for the first time.  The event is free and open to residents, ex-residents, friends and family.  Please sign-up on the notices placed around the buildings so that we can cater for the correct amount of guests.

Leave a Reply

The following are minutes from the regular meeting between St George’s and RPFL.

MINUTES FROM MEETING BETWEEN REGATTA POINT &  ST GEORGE’S ON 16TH MAY 2014

ATTENDEES:
George Cross (Regatta Point Freehold Limited Director), Sean Chappell (St. George’s Project Director) and Malcolm Wood (St. George’s Land Director).

APOLOGISES:
Mo Bowyer (Regatta Point Resident),

MINUTES: (StG = St George’s RP= Regatta Point)

Work progressing well. Excavation for C1 imminent. Pile driving will be necessary to form protective wall around perimeter. Should not cause too much disturbance.

Block D (next to Regatta) & E – party wall agreement imminent as all work to explore ground has been completed. A lot of unexpected services were found and the local utility companies have been re-laying gas and electric.

StG assured that the next phase will be sprayed properly when required but soil is expected to be damp as below the water table. Regatta Point will be in contact if we require action over the dust levels.

Major issue of co-ordination of StG building work on block D and RP requirement to carry out works to strengthen Eastern wall. StG have determined the floor levels of each building and it will be possible to get contractors on site at StG as each floor is built in order to carry out Helifix remedial works to Regatta Point Eastern Wall. RP expressed their gratitude.

StG offered potential suppliers for RP roadside window tender.

StG have been in discussions with Hounslow Council over the implementation of gates at either end of RP/StG boarder. The council have agreed to the proposal.

Entire duration of development expected to last in to 2016.

Next meeting for Friday 13th June at 08:30

Just a reminder…
