Leave a Reply

An invitation to all residents and owners at Regatta Point – come and help celebrate the 20th anniversary of the building of Regatta Point with some bubbles and canapes. 

Following the Annual Residents Briefing on Tuesday the 11th of December, which is now starting at 7pm in the lobby, we will be offering drinks and canapes to all.  Please join us if you can – and let our Caretaker Michael know that you are interested, so as to help plan numbers.

We will still be discussing the serious stuff at the briefing about updates for this year and financials and in addition we hope to have an update on the windows project, a model window and representatives from the installers are going to attend.

We look forwards to seeing you there.

The Directors – Regatta Point Freehold Limited.

Please make a note in your diary that the Annual Residents’ Briefing is scheduled to take place on Tuesday the 11th of December at 19:30 in the lobby.

The Directors will recap 2018 and look forward to events in 2019 and take any questions that people attending might have.  Major topics will include the state of our finances, significant increases in running costs, security and of course the windows project.

Please try and come along as they are usually very informative and social sessions.  As a bribe we will be offering a little light refreshment afterwards for those who wish to hang around.

Annual Residents Meeting 5th December 2017

The Directors of Regatta Point Freehold Limited invited all residents and owners to the annual briefing held in the upper lobby at Regatta Point where they reviewed last year and looked ahead to the next.  They aimed to brief all attendees on a variety of important matters and answer any questions raised.  The Directors also wanted to gain feedback from residents on how they would like to move forward in certain matters.

Additionally, a letter from Paula Bowman regarding the windows project is similarly available.  This is regardless of it being outside of the Section 20 process that the Directors are legally obliged to follow – they felt her views should be aired as requested and noted that nobody at the meeting expressed the same opinions.

The following are actions to be taken by the Directors as a result of the discussions:

  1. Request residents to report on their balcony paint work and wood decking to ascertain their state of repairs.  Interim repair and tidy up may be needed for some so as to delay the major refurbishment.
  2. Checked valid emergency telephone numbers used in the UK
    ANSWER: 999 and 112 work on all phones in the UK. 911 only works on mobile phones.
  3. Ask one of our suppliers to survey RP flat doors to see if residents want cold-smoke and/or intumescent strips fitting.
  4. Alarm to be sounded in the event of a fire.  Even with a stay put policy the consensus was that residents would want an alarm to sound so they can make their own choice.
  5. Secure the website so that information on keys etc. is no longer available to the public.
  6. Send a note asking all residents to respect others parking spaces – even if they appear not to be used.  Ask Michael to co-ordinate any kind offers from residents who can make spare spaces available to fellow residents.
  7. Alan Kohn offered the services of his drone for inspection of the roadside elevation of the building to aid inspection for the windows tender process.
  8. The reaction from all attending was positive to go ahead with the new windows based on the design shown. Residents expressed gratitude for the notice of the likely cost of this work in advance.  Details of how the project would be managed for each flat and the approach for internal “make good” work needs to be developed in detail.

Don’t forget to meet in the lobby at 7 tonight if you fancy a pint (or something softer) and a chance to meet fellow residents of Regatta Point.  We will be wandering off to a nearby Public House and chewing the fat and would love you to join us.

A quick note to all residents  – inviting you to come along to the latest Regatta Pint event – where a random group of residents go out for a drink together at a local pub and just chat.

The next event will be on Tuesday the 25th of October at 19:00.  The intention is to go to the Express Tavern so meet in the lobby and we’ll wander across.

Hope to see you there.
