An AGM has been called for the end of Aug 6 weeks early at the request of specific residents, however this is not in the interests of any non- spanish residents (majority) as this will require very expensive flights and car hire in order to attend.The financial year has been changed in order to facilitate this requirement. The Statutes state that 'the meeting will always be held during the quarter of the year, once the financial year has been concluded'. So the original agreement for the financial year ends on the 30th of september and the meeting should have taken place after oct 1st. Can a meeting be called early by the vice president without there having been any previous consultation or vote and contrary to the statutes?

There are several people concerned about this. We have been told by the administrator to get our lawyer to phone them if we have an issue, and the president is not available and cannot attend the meeting.

Will legal advice be expensive and will it achieve anything?

Thanks for any advice.

The route  makes a difference. The A10/A71 is quite expensive.  We are  trying to avoid some of the tolls as we have plenty of time to drive down and spent approx 300euros to Vera and back, in tolls last year. It will probably take an extra 4-5 hours to drive there though, but allows an extra overnight stop each way with a  3 / 4star hotel for 40-50 euros.  The AA provides toll prices so it is possible just to miss the most expensive ones by picking a cheaper route.

Some of the tolls are very expensive, especially in France. We are taking an extra stop this year to avoid them as much as possible, as it is much cheaper to pay for a hotel than the tolls. Also we are going over in early evening by eurotunnel, driving a couple of hours, staying in a hotel that night and driving early the next morning, as the price of the crossing and hotel combined in the evening was approx. the same price as the crossing only  early the next morning. Also if you can book a hotel 30 days before travel there are some good deals.

We took our sofa outside to prevent spores spreading. We then hoovered it down as much as possible,  washed with mild detergent, followed by an anti fungal spray. We then dried it thoroughly.

We already know the names of the chemicals being used and health and safety regulations associated with said use. Many are toxic, carcinogenic, and irritantes which must not be sprayed around any water supplies that come in to contact with humans and animals. The regulations may be being flouted. If the town hall does deal with health and safety, then we can make enquiries on what to do, as these gardeners act on various communities.

Thanks
