Hi. You need to speak to the president (can't remember his name) or the vice president (Pinar). Tell you what. Drop me a private message and I will let you have my phone number and then we can meet up (if you like). My wife, who speaks Spanish and knows Pinar personally as she teaches one of my kids, will come and help you. That goes for anyone else you needs a bit of help. Keith

No news on water supply. I am a little miffed on the wristbands scenario. For a few weeks, we have been occasionaly been using the pool ourselves with no problems. We had guests arrive last Sunday who, arrived ealry afternoon and went to use the pool. They were confronted by other pool users who said they could not use it without a key and wristbands. They were also told the owner had to show proof of ownership to obtain the wristbands. Our guests then had to pay to use the municipal pool as we were unable to go stright to the urbanisation to sort it out. Later that day we were able to find the president and obtain the wristbands and sign the contracts without the proof of ownership because we are known in the village. My wife said that they were very apologetic that they had refused our guests. I can understand the situation and I don't want any Tom, Dick or Harry using the pool but we have never been told of this new policy. Those of you who have guests coming before you can come out be warned. Your guests may not be able to use the pool until you signed the contract and proved who you are. I suggest you get in touch with the community immediately if you want to avoid the hassle for your guests.

Actually I think he probably does which is why the pool has been opening late afternoon last week. Maybe they give him the weekend off though!

Basically, the president is just opening the pool every day and locking it every night. He had been opening at 3 in the afternoon but it was open from early this weekend. I am not sure what time it will open today. The idea of wristbands appears to have faded away but I am not sure what the long term plan is.

I don't think this means Arenal have paid up. As far as I am aware, the community is still pursuing them. We are still on builders water so all that has happened really is that the Town Hall have now (temporarily at least) approved the pool and the pump has been commissioned.
