Hello to all Residents.

As the Office Manager of the Ladybridge club, I am writing to update all those who gave us your email address, on what is going on there during this strange, unprecedented time.

The Trustees, who normally would be in the club overseeing procedures on a daily basis, are keeping in touch now by phone/video link with those who are still working very much reduced hours to keep the business  going.

I would like to thank them for their continued diligence, and would also remind you all that the Trustees are volunteers and I have seen first-hand the anguish that has been caused to them trying to find solutions to the problems which have arisen because of this pandemic. It is not easy attempting to reconcile their duties as employers with their responsibilities to you the home-owners who have elected them to look after their interests when no-one has ever encountered a situation like this so they have no similar experiences to fall back on. As an ex-Trustee / Chair, I know and see just what they are going through.

The Trustees have taken on board all the advice that has been available from the Government, the Local Council and our own Accountants (who have been fantastic). We have claimed all the financial help that is available which has relieved the pressure considerably, particularly in protecting our super, loyal, young staff when we had no work to offer them for the time being.

As you will be aware from recent news-letters and your levy statement, we were in the process of changing our bank as all this “kicked off”. If you have ever done this with a personal account you will know it is not the easiest of processes but believe me doing it for a business – even a small one like ours – was a night-mare! But, we just about got it done as we were preparing the statements so were able to include the new details. 

THEN THE PANDEMIC STRUCK!!

Just as we got the statements prepared and delivered we were told that the business had to close. Not the best of timing but most of you realised that it was nobody’s fault and a fair number of you have paid your Management charges in full and for that I thank you. It makes the office work so much less stressful knowing that we remain financially viable.

I am sure that, as the situation resolves itself, there will be a full financial reckoning and adjustments made at the end of the year for next year’s charges.

On behalf of the Trustees (and Jakki and myself – who have to answer your questions) I would ask you to be patient and we will make sure it all resolves itself fairly when things get back to normal again.

Stay safe.

Kind Regards

Ann Gallo

 Hello Everyone 

Following the latest Government instructions, the Club bar and sports facilities will close for last orders tonight the 20^th March until further notice.

 The office will be manned from 09.00am until 12.00pm for essential Club business work.

 We would ask wherever possible that Levy payments are made directly to our Bank, by BACS transfer (new details of our Santander Account are on the statement you will receive in the next day or too).

 Card payment can be made over the telephone  485 1188 Monday to Friday on the above hours.
