The Reality of More Leaks...
.. and as if a timely reminder were ever required, as the update was just being posted, the rain is pouring into this property - with more rain forecast - reinforcing yet again how vital this work is if further damage to our building is to be avoided.

Meeting Notes and Update
Dear all,
Since our last meeting on 22 September 2013 (notes here), great progress has been made and we would like to thank you for your co-operation in getting your signed mandates back to DM Hall and payments lodged into the account.
At this stage, although we are now very close, we are still awaiting the confirmed return of just one or two more mandates and payments. The impact of this is that we are regrettably unable to instruct the contractors just yet to start work, due to the risk that the work would not be completed before the Christmas holidays.
Every effort is continuing, however, to be made to secure these final elements so that we can proceed with this long overdue maintenance as soon as possible in the new year. (Fingers crossed for a dry winter!)
Our next meeting is therefore proposed for 5pm on 24 November 2013, by which time we hope to be able to confirm a start date and schedule for the work. Please rsvp your attendance here.
In the meantime, if there are any questions that have not yet been answered elsewhere on this site, please contact bsora@hotmail.co.uk.
Kind regards,
BSORA Committee

(PS Interesting to see that Gateway Apartments have now opened - and sobering to note that our own repair project has been going on longer than it has taken to build them!).

Mandates Issued and Calendar Added
Dear all,
Further to the letter issued last week, this is to confirm that DM Hall have now issued the mandates directly to each property owner, so you should receive all the documentation from them within the next day or two.
As the nights are already noticeably drawing in, we need to act promptly. Please then ensure that the mandates are signed and returned to DM Hall by the due date of 20th September 2013.
To help keep track of key dates such as this and any meetings, a calendar has now been added to this site. The calendar can be viewed in either a small format from the main page, or there is a full page version accessed using the link to the right. It can be set to your preference of week, month or agenda format and for your convenience, entries can be saved to your own calendar.
With everyone's timely co-operation, we should soon be in a position to tell you when the work will actually start.
Kind regards,
Catriona
