We have an a partment in Almoradi which is on the Costa Blanca and in August 2006 we experienced an earthquake in the middle of the night. Although it was only about a 3.4 it was at a depth of 10 km and we were only 5km from the epicentre and we certainly felt and heard it! It is not something I would like to experience again!

It put me off going to Spain for a while but I guess you have to put the risks into perspective and realise that a lot of countries are at risk of earthquakes. I hope there won't be any more in Spain, especially not damaging ones!

Hi

We had Superbeam installed about two weeks ago when we were out in Almoradi. We paid €550 for installation and then €32 for the month for the pay per view package (normally the €16 package if you pay monthly direct debit). We found them very easy to deal with (mostly via emails) and they arrived promptly and installed it within an hour!

We were only there for a few days, but it seemed to work fine and it will be on hopefully, when my niece goes out there on Monday next week. They say it is easy to switch on the pay per view package as and when you want it, which suits us fine as we don't live there.

Hope this is useful!

Best wishes

Sandra and Paul

Hi All

I am in agreement that anyone who still has snagging issues should have them sorted by the builder asap. We personally have a leak under our kitchen sink which was on our list, but I won't know if it's been sorted until I get there in July.  I have emailed Doreen my authorisation for her to use my vote (I know that we can trust Doreen and Rob to use it wisely)! I think we will all be grateful if someone would definately bring it up at the meeting and post the minutes on here.I would love to be there, but unfortunately, work commitments (and husband with a broken ankle) won't allow.

Would anybody be interested in the suggestion of using the community room for a sort of 'community room' where perhaps we could have a pool table or similar for kids (and adults!) to hang out and get to know each other? I don't know how this would work budget wise so at this stage it is just a suggestion, but I know that when I go to Spain, if the weather is not too good or even for when you just want to chill out, It  would be nice to meet up with others perhaps over a beer and a game!

Thanks to all for the info shared - this website is a lifeline.

Ps. if Rob is up for President , he gets our vote!

Best wishes

Sandra

Hi Pat

I will contact Doreen and ask if it would be possible for them to post the agenda on here.

Hi Pat

Thanks for the info. Have you any idea if we are likely to get a copy of the proposed Agenda before the meeting? If so, presumably they would be put in our mailboxes at Mirador (for which I still don't have a key!)? Perhaps Rob or Doreen would be kind enough to post one on this site for all to see?!

Best wishes

Sandra
