NEWSLETTER JANUARY 2010.

Motor-homes/caravans
Each municipality has its own regulations regarding motor-homes and caravans. The authority and responsibility of the community applies only inside our communal area, not outside in the public street. So, this is not a decision or a demand, simply a request to the owners of those types of vehicles to be parked in areas where they do not disturb the view of any residents.

Sliding gates
We are suffering from problems with the sliding gate of Block I. Apparently, some remote controls do not work properly, and you may need to give them a second click to close the gate. Please, for your own safety and that of others, do it.

Security
Security is a main concern for us all. So, besides whatever you do in your apartment, there are certain rules to follow, which are basic common sense:
• Do not open the gate through the intercom to unknown visitors. If they are guests visiting a different apartment, let them ring the appropriate number.
• If someone is due to go to the community to work, we try to ensure they go during Kevan’s working hours. If not, we try to arrange for someone in the community to accompany them whilst on-site.

Indoor facilities
After the “test” during the Christmas holiday period, we are completing the works to have the indoor pool/spa facilities in perfect use. At the next AGM we will have to decide the operational conditions. All ideas and suggestions are welcome, in writing to fsacommunity@gmail.com

Fees
We are trying to reduce the expenses of the community, and to have everything in a perfect state. Please remember that it is a must that everybody pays, we need the money from all owners. Some owners have paid their arrears after the last AGM, but others have not. These people will have to pay between 500 and 1.000 euros in legal fees if they wait to be notified by the courts.

AGM
The next AGM is foreseen for Saturday 13th March 2010, but we have moved it to the afternoon, starting at 4.30 pm in the first call, which will be 5.00 pm if less than 50% owners attend at the first call.

Blog.
Please, get used to following our blog www.fsamijas.blogspot.com where we try to keep an archive of all interesting issues in the community.

We made it happen

The Indoor Pool was used this week after a successful night on Sunday 3rd Jan 2010, as you can see in the video below.

Whilst running the pool we realised that some of the water pump heating sensors aren`t working and the pool can only be run manually, there are also few other problems to sort out with the humidifiers and some water leaks. On the whole nothing major but things that have to be fixed, we could only find these out by commissioning the equipment and then reviewing the situation. Mario is in touch with the installation company and we are waiting for estimates to have everything resolved. For the moment we have closed the pool until the work has been completed and we will keep you informed with the progress.


The original plans for the social area show access from the lift corridor ( by main entrance to pool) through to the gym room & social room via a passageway, which is not the case. We are currently getting quotes to knock doorways through from the lift corridor into the gym and another from the gym into the social room. This will give us 3 benefits:

1. Fire exits for both rooms.
2. Access into gym without entering pool area.
3. Disabled access to both rooms.

We are very pleased with our progress and it`s a very positive start to 2010.

Best wishes,
Terri Jackson

For the gym

Where is this?

Opening party

There will be an opening party for the sport facilities at Finca San Antonio Social Club this coming weekend. Keep your eyes on this blog.

Deposit in the bank

We have put 25.000 euros on a 3 months deposit, in order to get some few interests (1%), while we reach the AGM and decide about it.

Wifi connection

We can now confirm that owners are able to access the internet from the Social club room. An access point has been installed to boost the signal from the President's apartment which will enable owners to take advantage of this and surf the internet, check emails etc. from your laptop whilst inside the comfort of the club
