NEW & MORE DIRECTORS

It is with great pleasure that we are able to announce the appointment of two new Directors to the Board of Regatta Point Freehold Limited.

The existings four have been joined by David Brown (who is in fact returning, having been a Director before) and Fran Black.

Although this brings our numbers to seven we are still in search of more Directors as several of the incumbents wish to retire, having servered some considerable time. So, please consider becoming a Director to help look after our homes here at Regatta. It’s not that hard and your contrbutiuon to decision making will be invaluable.

If you are interested please email directors@regattapoint.co.uk to arrange an informal chat to explain what is involved.

DELAY TO AGM

We are sorry to have to inform you that the usual Annual Residents’ Meeting has been deferred until January. This is because of the issues around Covid-19 restricting our ability to congregate and it has also caused delays in obtaining our accounts. Additionally, we are awaiting a report on the maintenance plan for the next ten years.

All of which we hope to have available for discussion in January.

New Director

It is with much pleasure that we are able to announce that Alan Kohn is joining the Board of Regatta Point (Freehold) Limited as a Director.

Since just before Stephanie Henderson-Brown retired, the existing Directors have been looking to recruit a new Board member to share the workload and plan for succession.

The issue was raised at the Annual Residents’ Meeting and was accompanied by emails and pigeonhole drops. This campaign successfully garnered interest from Owners and Residents alike.

Please join us in welcoming Alan on board but, please be gentle with him, as he’s only just started!

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 …
