Stopcock Keys

Dear Resident,

You should be aware that work has been carried out recently to fire proof susceptible areas of Regatta Point.  As part of that work, a new access panel has been installed for your water stopcock – this is located in the corridor outside your flat.  These have now been badged up with a small sign saying “stopcock” – because several residents had asked where their stopcocks were as their landlord/previous owner had not informed them.

You will need a key in order to unlock the panel and gain access to the stopcock.  The key can now be collected from our Caretaker, Oscar, during his normal working hours.

Please collect your key and keep it somewhere safe.

Party Planning

One of the best things that happens at Regatta Point is the annual BBQ where all residents and friends have the chance to meet up for a proper chat instead of rushing by in the corridor as per usual.  We decorate the hallway, set up BBQs on the pier for everyone to use and get the party music blaring.

However, parties don’t organise themselves so there’s a kick-off meeting next week in order to agree ideas etc. – and no doubt, down a few drinks.  So, if you are interested please email social@regattapoint.co.uk to find out more.

It’s a great way to meet people and you will be made very welcome.

Lobbying for Change

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.

Directors’ Meeting 22nd March 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.

  • Lobby – work to be done to touch up paint work and buy new furniture and trees for pier.
  • Gym – work to be done to refurbish (remove wall, install windows, re-decorate).
  • St George’s and Bugler developments coming to a close. All items are in hand.
  • St James are proving very responsive to lorry issues when raised.
  • Sauna – ongoing issues with operation and damp. Drain now unblocked so watching brief to see if this improves the situation.
