EGM November 2009

I speak english programme

"I speak English programme"

This is a program organised by Mijas Town Hall, by which foreigners residents (mainly native english) go to spanish schools of Mijas to talk to pupils in english. One of those groups goes to the school Sra Virgen de la Pena School in Las Lagunas, where there are 750 pupils with 28 nationalities. They met at the school at 10.0.a.m.on Monday and Wednesdays.

The more we participate in the community we live in Mijas, the more we can appreciate and be appreciated in the area we have chosen to invest, not only in our money, but in our time.

If you want to join this team, please get in touch with Margaret Felgate (Apt 37)

Community fees

The administrator is sending letters/emails to several owners who appear to owe money from before April 2009, according to the accounts supplied by Sagesa. The intention is to make sure everybody is aware, so we may call an EGM on November and take to court everybody who owes money, as we need the money of all of us to run the community. Please, do not disregard those communications, as it is in your own interest.

If you send us a cheque...

We recomend to pay by direct debit, this means the community sends the bill to your bank, and it gets paid as long as you have enough money. This process is completely safe for you, and also free. However, some people prefer to send a cheque from England....by post. If you do so (I like brave people), please at least follow these recomendations

* Put your name and address at the back of the envelope. Yes, even if you are sure of our address
* Cross the cheque with 2 paralel lines, so nobody can clear it in cash, it will have to be paid into a bank account.
* If you are writing a "7", please make sure it doesn't look a "1". In Spain, we cross the 7 with a "-"

Finally, there is no need to write a long letter wishing me all the best, bla, bla, but at least put a note with your apartment number.

Thank you very much.

The new roundabout

The roundabout is almost finished. Three old olive trees and a lot of white pebbles. Now we just need some light (the cables are already in), possibly to feed also the streetlights.
