AGM

Hi Everyone

Happy New Year to you all.

Well it's the time of the year that Colin & Tricia have been waiting for and counting down the days to, the AGM.

As I wont be at the event I would like to take this opportunity to thank Colin & Tricia for the outstanding work that they have put in over the last year, it could not have been easy dealing with certain people, you and I both know who he is, well done for keeping your cool, it must be that scottish upbringing, thank you again for putting up with most of us knocking on your door for this and that with never a complaint from you.

You can now hand over the reins to the new president, put your feet up and I'm sure you will have a smile on your face as you taste that first dram as the the former.

Enjoy your retirement as it was intended.

Best Regards

Pete & Sue Dyer

Hear hear

I will be putting out a last update soon and give you all the info, and you are right when you say Tricia and I have seen the year out and its time for someone else, but things are different now so there may be more takers for the job and committee, but to all even when I am not in the job keep the e-mails coming its been good patter

                                                                                                                - illegal erection of guttering at the front of houses

will these be addressed at the agm?

Hi You People

It is one of the first parts of the AGM agenda to pass that all defaulters have court proceedings started against them

Dog littering and guttering are for the new president and committee to address

Interest -----where is the guttering in the front of the building (Pedro Cano) the reason I am asking is there was a very few people erected some before we were a community and therefore were not governed by the rules, guidance would have to be sought as to getting them to take it down

Hope this is good enough

Colin

hi colin

my understanding is that when you were buying your house you were given details within your contract. I refer to page 17 of the contract - horizontal property scheme of the housing development - section C (4)  which states

"owners shall ask for and obtain written consent to - modify the colour of the facades  as well as to install or make alterations to grilles or fences , make alterations to cavities, windows, doors oe enclousures................................, or to alter elements which may modify the architectural aspect of the houses".

This therefore means that people should not have made alterations to the facade (i.e. - guttering) without permission even when the community had not been formally established.

I notice that one house in Jose Sanchez Lozano has erected guttering which is the same colour as the walls. If guttering is to be allowed then it should follow this example and blend in.

I will go with what you have stated and the rules are you ask for permission for these alterations and there is also meetings that should take place and a 25% vote needed

It does stop everyone doing anything they want and spoiling the look of the street

Lets hang them

Colin

ALL

You have without stating got what the community thing is all about, not a President or committee spouting rules but a knowledge of these rules and a respect for them

We had a similar situation with gate extensions, I told people they could not just put extensions on although some already had but I explained the way forward i.e. 25% vote to organise an extra ordinary meeting this was held and a vote was passed to allow extensions with certain stipulations most of the gates were complete within a week so it was obvious they were already made and ready to go  I wonder what would have happened if the vote had went the other way    >   NO I do not wonder I know what would have happened

What some people do not seem to grab is that in one form it maybe a hinderence but if someone is going to build a 20 foot wall and stop the sun on your patio it is a good thing that there is some form of control, and keep in mind you cannot just do alterations in good old UK

The AGM this year should be a different deal, where as last year know one would take the job I think we could have a few people putting their hand up this time, and yes we are now ready to move forward and a committee would be looking at  bettering the community not chasing people to pay money, trying to get safety equipment in place etc.

I came here to enjoy retiral and although I will admit that with all the support, meeting many many people,seeing things moving forward, etc. in many aspects believe it or not I have enjoyed being part of it all,  but there are people who will move us on and I will be happy to hand over

To complete this write up Diamond and I had an excellent conversation one day and shook hands, see another thing moves on

Colin

on the day the american president took centre stage it is good that our president can look forward to his well earned retirement. hopefully we will allow him to keep the honary title of el primero presidente !!

Well done for all your hard work colin. I look forward to a positive AGM where we move forward to the next year as a complete community. It is important to keep all owners involved in any decision making process. It is unfortunate that only a few owners are aware of this site.

Good Morning

Thanks for your good words, and I will be putting out a news letter soon, one of the ideas was to possibily have a Torre Alc. web site for all our bits and bobs

A wee insite to my day I am sitting here after an early start, the first lady. has washed the floors, I have paper work in front of me for the community    WHY YOU ASK   well I was meeting the councillors again for the second time  about matters of the community i.e. football area, cleaning of the streets etc.

Anyway after an hour of waiting I am told they will have to re schedule             YES NOTHING MOVES FAST IN SPAIN
