Noticeboard

Dear Resident(s),

Following several complaints received, I would respectfully like to remind everyone that smoking and vaping are not permitted directly outside the bar area.

To ensure the comfort of all, please use the designated smoking areas.

We would also like to remind you to wrap any broken glass put out for refuse collection as there was almost a nasty accident this morning when our team were collecting rubbish.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Sandy Bay Management.

***** UPDATE:  Wednesday 15th July @ 16:18 *****  

Dear Residents,

We have been notified that the perimeter gates were activated this afternoon and are now fully operational. From now on, you will need to use your red fob to gain access or exit.

The same red fob now operates the ANPR barriers, the pedestrian gate, and all perimeter gates. If you have not yet been issued with a fob, please visit the office as soon as possible to collect one.

Please note that the old credit card-style access cards will no longer operate the perimeter gates.

You may find the gates feel slightly stiff when opening. This is due to the magnetic locking system, so they may require a firm pull.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Customer Care Team

 

***** UPDATE:  Tuesday 14th July @ 19:03 *****  

Dear Resident(s),

Due to a technical issue, we can not go live with the perimeter gate locks this evening.

We are therefore going to padlock these gates at approximately 19:00 to secure the park.

The technical team will be back on park tomorrow and we hope to be online.

Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Sandy Bay Management

 

***** Tuesday 14th July @ 14:35 ***** 

Dear Residents,

Further to our email dated 12th June, we have been advised that the pedestrian gate will be activated this afternoon. Once it is live, you will need to use the red fobs that were issued for the ANPR barriers to gain access.

If you do not have a vehicle & have not already been issued with a fob, please collect one from Reception free of charge . Please note that any additional fobs beyond those already issued will be charged at £10 per fob.

The technical team is also working on the perimeter gates, and we will provide a further update as soon as we have been informed that these are operational. The same red fobs will be used to access these gates.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Customer Care Team

As both our Aqua Aerobics and Aqua Yoga classes have become increasingly popular, we will now be introducing a limit on the number of participants for each session.

To guarantee your place, please book in advance with one of our lifeguards.

A class fee of £5 is payable at the time of booking to secure your space.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to seeing you at the classes.

Dear Residents,

With the fantastic weather forecast for the coming weeks, we expect the pool to be especially busy, particularly over the school holiday period and the Bank Holiday weekend.

We would like to kindly remind all residents and their guests to bring their wristbands with them, as these will be required for access to the pool area.

We hope you all enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful weekend.

Kind regards,
Customer Care Team

Dear Residents,

We are delighted to announce that, from Wednesday 8 July, the swimming pool will remain open until 7:30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays for the exclusive use of residents.

The pool will continue to close to visitors at 5:30pm as usual. From 5:30pm onwards, the facilities will be available to residents only, allowing you to enjoy a quieter evening swim.

We hope this extended opening will be a welcome addition for our residents. The arrangement will remain in place until further notice and will be reviewed periodically based on resident usage.

We look forward to seeing you at the pool.

Kind regards,
Customer Care Team
