Directors’ Meeting 7th June 2016

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited met for a regular meeting in order to discuss various matters arising in the running of the building. The following are highlights of the discussions.

The meeting was held at HML Shaw’s Richmond Offices so as to demonstrate the new online portal.

HML Shaw are re-organising which should improve the level of service being delivered.
The work to install windows in the gym and re-decorate will go-ahead when surveyor is available. There is no urgency to this project.
Will commission a new Fire Risk Assessment and ask that a formal Evacuation Policy be produced to advise all Residents.
In light of a decisive report from the surveyor (Regatta Point Roadside Windows – Surveyors Report ) it was decided to go-ahead with the project to replace the roadside windows. The next steps have to be agreed in detail with the surveyor (timetable, tender documents and specifications). It was agreed that the project should include a refurbishment of the riverside windows and general maintenance to the roadside elevation. It was also agreed that, in order to stagger they payments for the project, the Reserve Fund payment from all owners would be significantly increased in September 2016. This would allow any balancing bill to be presented to residents later in 2017. As this is a major investment full and formal Section 20 consultation procedures will be followed. All owners will be written to explaining the plan and inviting comment.

Gym Bunny Mess Up

Greetings to all the gym bunnies out there.

Just a quick note to remind everyone that you need to be considerate to other gym users whilst getting that beach body ready. So, could any of the gym-bunnies that use the weights please put them on the rack after use and remove them from the mats so that the next user doesn’t have to start by tidying up (see example below).

We know you’re all fired up from pumping iron but if you could build into your cool-down routine a bit of weights stacking it would be greatly appreciated. And don’t forget to lock the door when you leave!

By the way, we haven’t forgotten about installing windows in the gym. That project (funded from the reserve fund) has been re-started and this will now incorporate the removal of the end partition wall (in order to create a little more space) and include a re-decoration.

We have also started providing wipes so that you can clean the equipment and your hands whenever you need to and there is now a comments book on the table outside so that you can feedback your thoughts.
