1). The Minutes of meeting held 11/12/2017 were approved.
1a) The Board welcomed James Standen (Past Secretary) back to the board as a
Vocal.
2. Treasurers Report.
In conversation with Paco Alcarez regarding new registration /deregistration of the
Buzons. The Information should be available by the end of this month. (RK made
apologises 13.00 for prior business arrangements)
3. Secretary’s Report.
After a particular poor showing of replies to the mail and e-mails sent out by MK, he
decided that alongside the work the subcommittee has been doing on the post
boxes, that he would research and delete historical “Old Memberships”, ie. Members
on the list of Vecinos but that had moved or were no longer alive. Whilst this is not
100% due to some members being completely uncontactable, it is now up to date
and along with writing to e-mail addresses provided by Paco Alcarez and the
Treasurer, he reported that he had raised the list of membership from low 200’s back
to 248, with more contacts being made by “Whats App” telephone messaging and
advertising in the Buzons.
4. Vecinos Website.
Working well and getting “regular hits”. TM updating the website regularly and had
encountered some issues with the membership system – now rectified.
5. NHW update.
Annetta had little new to report and had said it had been a quiet time but gave out
some old printed pamphlets from the Vecinos Co-operando which were/are being re-
printed and updated.
6. Other business.
1). POST BOXES. AP reported to the subcommittee (comprising of AP, RK, JG, TM
and MK), that he had had meetings with Correos initially to find out what they
actually required us, as an association, to do to ensure our mail was delivered to our
Post Boxes as Correos has now said that they were “incorrectly addressed” and
would not deliver to them.
A subcommittee meeting was held at the Ayuntamiento in Altea La Vella with the
above Committee members plus WF, Maria Lavios (Altea Ayuntamiento) and
Sebastian Nieto Garcia (Correos Alicante) on Thursday 8th February 2018.
Snr Nieto was emphatic and after much discussion said that unless we could come
to a suitable way of “re-organising” or “re-addressing” our Buzons, within our area –
the delivery service of the mail would stop on March 1st 2018.
With much discussion the association was adamant that it did not want the closure
of the Buzons and that we would endeavour to carry out any changes required by
Correos and readdress the Buzons as they wanted.
It is a pre-requisite that Snr Nieto first receives a list of correctly addressed Buzons
with just the street and number in alphabetical order which MK is preparing from his
lists of boxes and numbers to present to him later this week.
This will enable us more time to organise delivery of locks and to issue cancellation
notices to some Buzon Owners out of our area and notification to Buzon Owners to
when the changes will occur and how mail might be “retained” for a week by Correos
while the locks and the addressing system is changed from “Inside the boxes”.
It was decided against a combination Lock that TM had previously ordered from the
Far East as the numbers for many members would be too difficult to see and use.
The board was grateful for the efforts from TM It was seen as a possibility that the
locks may be able to be “relocated” when the street names are changed behind in
the Buzons and if this were the case there may be a possibility to keep and move
the existing locks. This would enable the Buzon owners to just have a new box
location but keep the same key.
This is to be looked into but as a “worst case scenario” New Key Locks could be
ordered and changed over in a much easier process all around.
Once MK has received a reply from Snr Nieto another subcommittee meeting would
be made to discuss his findings and a list prepared for time scales of changes and
informing Buzon Owners.
2). AE raised the point that MK sent out all his letters in docx format and perhaps
doc format should be used also – he noted this and will in future send out both
formats in 4 languages.
3) WF noted that the street cleaning had again started since the previous meeting
with Maria Lavios and that once again we were looking “tidy” MK raised the
continued problem of builders rubbish but this was also discussed with Maria Lavios
on 8th February with the possibility of maybe a “Large Container” for such
associated rubbish being placed “somewhere”.
4). 9th May is European Day in Altea and Altea La Vella – if we are able to do
“something”??
There being no other business the meeting closed at 13.44
