OMG The Sauna’s Open

OMG – At long last the sauna has re-opened.

With a complete refurbishment that has required re-tiling, new sun loungers, new doors, under floor heating and a re-design we hope you will agree that it was well worth the wait.

Just fifteen minutes after you press the start button it’s ready to go – for a whole hour.  It’s very simple to use.   Please come down and check it out but don’t forget to keep your costumes on at all times!

Date for your diary

Over recent years the Directors have held a meeting to brief residents about what has happened in the previous year and what is planned for the next.  We usually host this in December and provide a few nibbles and drinks.

The Directors will be hosting a meeting again but this time it will be in January as it is proving too difficult to organise something when all are available in December.

Therefore, could you please make a note in your diaries that the Resident Briefing will be held on Thursday the 21st of January at 19:30 in the upper lobby.  We look forward to seeing you there.

Directors’ Meeting 15th September 2015

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.

Representatives from HML Shaw were present.

  • Fire Enforcement Notice – tender for work to be carried out to comply with notice due back at end of September. Exceptional bill to be issued to residents, which is expected to be significant.
  • Internal decorations – Sauna work due to complete soon which allows progress on other items.
  • Caretaker phone – Neil now has a landline with message facilities and a signal booster in office so should be completely contactable.
  • HML Shaw service levels – poor service levels were discussed and a better understanding of what RPFL pays for was obtained. Improvements are anticipated once fire works are out of the way.
  • Service charges for 15/16 were discussed – especially significant insurance premium increase that is anticipated following the fire. Reluctantly directors agreed to 9% increase.

Temporary Closure of Sauna & Gym

As part of the internal decorations there is a need to close both the gym and the sauna temporarily whilst work is carried out to.

In gym: install windows and remove the superfluous end wall.
In the Sauna: to allow complete refurbishment including new showers, tiling and under-floor heating.

The precise timing and duration of these closure is not known at the moment but it will take place in the coming weeks.  We are sorry for any inconvenience caused but we are convinced that everyone will be pleased with the results when complete.  The upgrade of the facilities will be a genuine boost to Regatta Point.

Guest room refurbishment

guestDid you know that Regatta Point has two guest rooms that are available for hire to any Regatta Point resident for only £40 per night?  They are large rooms containing a double bed, TV/DVD and en-suite shower facilities.

They have been refurbished so that they are now much warmer and quieter than previously thanks to improved double-glazing.  A truly useful facility when you have some extra guests staying.  Ask the Caretaker for details.

  • Must be booked and paid for in advance.
  • Non-smoking and freshly laundered on each booking.
  • Located next to lift A and D on the first floor.
