For personal reasons and also on medical advice, I have decided to step down as President with immediate effect.

OCSI are still awaiting the report from the engineers following investigations carried out on Block 3 and once they have it will call an EGM to discuss it and appoint a new President.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to OCSI and those owners who have supported me, it has been very much appreciated.

A beautiful afternoon for the post-AGM Paella Party. 

At the AGM in 2024 it was agreed to make an area at the back of the pool to store sunbeds rather than on the frying pan.   This has now been completed so please use it for storing your sunbeds during the summer period and not the frying pan.

There are now two different phone numbers to be used for the following emergency reasons:

1. 24 Hour emergencies, the Policia Local number is: (0034) 649 900 304.

2. Problems with Squatters, Building Rubbish/Fly Tipping and Bins, the Policia Local number is: (0034) 672 210 904.

With dark nights, comes the need to be extra vigilant.

There have been opportunist burglaries in the area (not on our urbanization) and it is a timely reminder to ensure your apartment is secure, especially if you go out in the evening. 

To date the irrigation boxes in the pool area have been replaced and the system is working.  However, due to the lack of rain, intense summer heat, and broken sprinklers it will take a little while for the grass to completely recover. 

For those of you who have not been here during the summer I hope you have all had an enjoyable break.  Its been uncomfortably hot and humid here.

Due to the strong winds we have experienced in the last few weeks it was not safe for the specialist “palm tree lumberjack” to trim our palms. Finally the winds have dropped and the palms have now been trimmed.

“Before” and “After” photos attached.

The intention was to have a meeting of the President and Vice Presidents in August to report on the progress of various projects that had been agreed at the AGM.

However, as the majority of the projects are to take place in and around the Pool area, it would entail closing the area off for several days. This would be totally unacceptable in July and August, when we have so many visitors and temperatures in the high 30s/low 40s. Therefore the work will commence at the end of September/beginning of October.

At this time of the year, with more people on the urbanization, it is easy to become complacent when we see people around that we do not recognize.

When you drive in or out of the garage please wait and check that the up and over door closes before going any further.   It’s not uncommon at this time of year for unwanted visitors to try and gain access.

If you rent out your apartment, including the garage space, please make them aware also.

The same applies with regard to access to the pool area.  Keep the gate closed at all times.  If people haven’t got the gate code they cannot enter.
