Noticeboard

 

**********  UPDATE 1st August @ 16:32

Dear Residents,

Following our earlier communication regarding the temporary pool closure (see below), we regret to inform you that the pool will remain closed over the upcoming weekend.

Despite our continued efforts throughout the day to obtain a confirmed schedule from the contractor, we have not yet been provided with a definitive date for the necessary repairs.

We will continue to follow up with the contractor and keep you updated as soon as we receive further information.

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding.

Kind regards,
Sandy Bay Management

Dear Resident(s)

It is unfortunate that we are experiencing an electrical fault in the plant room, for your health and safety we have been required to close the swimming pool.

As we are required to use contractors that are qualified to work on swimming pool plant we are unable to use contractors such as Bond as this is a specialist area.

Whilst the pool did close yesterday afternoon (31st July), we were hopeful to have it up and running however parts are required to fix the problem.

I appreciate this may be frustrating, but rest assured we are doing all we can to get our lovely pool back up and running and we appreciate your patience.

 

Kind regards

Sandy Bay Management

Hi all,

We now have some shelves in the bar for our puzzle swap xx

The puzzle swap was really popular until a family let grandchildren tip a few boxes over the floor.  After that incident all puzzles were removed and this upset many people.

So feel free to bring puzzles and we can then enjoy them (especially on bad weather days).

The bookcase is now in place and ready for your puzzles.  Hopefully we can enjoy swapping puzzles again with no mishaps.

Love linda

Dear Residents,

We are pleased to inform you that the wristbands for accessing the swimming pool are now available.

Wristbands will be distributed by the Swimming Pool Team at the time of your visit to the facility. Each resident is entitled to one wristband, with a maximum of four guest wristbands allocated per residence.

Please note that these wristbands are exclusively for access to the swimming pool. If you do not intend to use the facility, a wristband is not required. However, should your guests wish to use the pool, you must accompany them and remain present in the pool area during their visit.

NB:  As these wristbands incur a cost, please be advised that a replacement fee of £5.00 will be charged for each lost wristband.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,

Sandy Bay Management

We have been asked by Catherine and Mark the new Bar/Restaurant managers to let you know that as of today, residents and visitors will NOT be permitted to take sweets/snacks/drinks into the bar.
 
There is now a large range of crisps, peanuts and snacks available.  There will also be complimentary cheese and crackers available on the quiz nights.
 
Sandy Bay Management will be reminding folks of this, but have asked us to do so before tomorrows Bingo.
 
If you are aware of neighbours/friends who would not receive this email, please do pass this on.
 
Kind Regards

Dear Residents,

We would like to remind you that several access fobs have yet to be collected. Please note that this may delay the activation of the in-barrier system.

To assist with distribution, two residents have kindly volunteered to deliver the remaining fobs directly to residents’ homes today.

Once all fobs have been delivered, we will send a follow-up email confirming the date when the barrier will be operational.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Kind regards,
