New memorial seat for Eastern Pool
The memorial seat in the eastern pool is in need of replacing. it was provided for the community many years ago in memory of the wife of an owner. He has requested that his plaque is placed on a new seat and we have another owner who would wish a plaque he is buying to be placed there in memory of his wife.
The seat we are considering buying costs about €115 (delivery extra). If anyone has any alternative options please let us know, similarly if anyone has an objection, let us know. If we have a favourable response we will go ahead with the purchase in the next 14 days.

A reminder of Pool Rules
I have received a complaint from an owner that the pool rules are not being properly observed.
The complaint ranges from people using the eastern pool until midnight, making excessive noise causing disturbance to nearby residents and the proliferation of inflatables in the pool. All this is clearly against urbanisation rules which are clearly displayed on notice boards.
It seems I have to remind visitors that our urbanisation is not a holiday camp and there are owners who are far from well and cannot tolerate noise at all hours of the day and night.
In previous years we employed a person to try to police the pools, with very limited success – the result was a lot of money being spent. On advice I have made it clear that owners suffering anti-social behaviour should ask the perpetrators to stop, and if they fail to do so, then they should call police – not just to threaten to do so.
A thankyou message from Norman
Norman Brunt, who has helped our urbanisation for a number of years (particularly during the summer months while I am in the UK) has of late been seriously ill.
I am pleased to say he is now better than he was but has to regularly attend hospital and wants to thank those who have helped get him there.
Anyone who knows Norman and his wife Teresa please pop in and see them and help him on the road to full recovery.
