The meeting was well attended by members - both Leaseholders and Tenants.

Our guests were Gary – CEO, Grove and Housing Ltd (GEHL) and Maintenance Fund Trustee; Will from Rendall and Rittner and Matthew our Building Manager.

Our Chairman Clifford opened the meeting by thanking Matthew and his team for the wonderful service they had provided over the past year. The block had been kept to its usual high standard of cleanliness and everyone involved deserved our thanks and appreciation.

We were pleased to report record membership numbers and the importance of renewing each year, this is now easier than before thanks to the new contactless payment machine.

We updated on GEGRA’s successful pre-Christmas coffee morning which raised £410 for the Macmillan cancer charity and the fantastic Coronation Lunch in the rear garden which hosted over two hundred residents and their families.

The meeting went on to discuss the problems and successes of various building projects during the past year and all written questions handed in before the meeting were answered.
