Annual Residents’ Briefing Slides

On the 11th of December the Directors held the Annual Residents’ Briefing in the upper lobby of Regatta Point. There was a very good turn out of nearly 30 people, HML Shaw were represented by Irwin Alvisse and representatives of Orrins (the installers for the new roadside windows) were also there to answer questions and demonstrate the new windows design.

Thanks to all who attended and for providing the Directors with your thoughts and advice and all the matters we discussed.

Attached are a copy of the slides we discussed at the meeting

Gym re-opened

Leave a Reply

We are pleased to be able to inform you that the gym has re-opened following the delay caused by unforeseen (and budgeted) work and the lead-time on ordering the new floor.

I hope you will join us in agreeing that the windows, new lights, flooring and decoration have improved the room as has the creation of just a little more space following the removal of the end wall.

We will be replacing the door with one that matches the rest of Regatta Point in the near future but, if those of you that use the gym, could let us know what you think about the equipment and any improvements we could make on that front – please leave a comment in the book on the desk or post a comment on this update.

Lobbying for Change

Leave a Reply

You may have noticed that the lobby at is looking a little bare and deranged at the moment. This is because we are refreshing the look after many years of having the same styling.

As a consequence, we have sold off the existing furniture (people actually paid to take the stuff away) and have new chairs and a coffee table on order. The new console tables are in place, and we intend to buy a couple of new bay trees to match the existing ones on the pier.

As this is an improvement scheme the costs are coming out of the reserve fund.

If you have any ideas for improving the appearance of Regatta Point please let us know at directors@regattapoint.co.uk we’d love to hear from you.

Annual Residents’ Briefing

Sorry these are a bit late but notes from the Annual Resident’s Briefing are detailed below.

Mike Crump led the presentation (pdf attached) Directors Meeting – 21st Jan 16 Final and the main points of discussions were:

Mike Crump is retiring as Chairman and Director.
Introduction of Hilary Oliver as new Director.
A promise that new appointments will be made through public invitation in future.
New Caretaker, Oscar Rivera, is settling in well.
Residents are invited to attend the regular Walk&Talk of the building in order to get a sense of the work done.
Review of 2015 accounts and why service charge increased by 9%
Gardens – new contract seems to be working well, more plants on order.
Sauna has turned into a much bigger job than expected and gym component has been dropped at this point. Will be picked up as a new project at a future point.
KewSide development is proving to be very difficult as the developers are not responsive or collaborative. There is a big focus on resolving outstanding issues before they depart – scheduled for the end of March.
St. George – very helpful developers with few issues at the moment. They have asked to erect stairs over the eastern flower planter at the front. Price is being negotiated.
St James – major work starts now but should be of limited disruption as on other side of road. Contact has been made with project manager.
Roadside windows – ball park figures of £150,000 have been received and bills would be divided be service charge according to informal legal advice. This would mean 18 flats that do not benefit from new windows would still receive substantial bills. Residents are encourage to contact the directors (directors@regattapoint.co.uk) to comment. The residents at the meeting overall asked that the project go ahead but there were several residents who had serious reservations. It will be a very complex project involving entry to all flats, big bills and complexity around the repair of internal decorations.
Works to comply with the enforcement notice issued by LFB are to start 25th Jan and take a 6 weeks. Being funded by licence fees from cranes from St George and Bugler.
Guest rooms have been enhanced in the last year.
Residents were again encourage to sign up to the website www.regattapoint.co.uk in order to be sent news items automatically. it was also pointed out the the website contains a “fix-it” form which is another way to inform the caretaker of any issues.
