Dear Residents

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on 12 June 2021 after three
previous attempts to hold it had failed due to, firstly insufficient numbers to
form a quorum and then load shedding. The AGM is the highest decision-
making body of the estate. We thank everyone who attended for their
involvement in the affairs of the estate. (See feedback elsewhere in the
newsletter)

We had a turnout of 97 people — 54 members present and 43 proxies
received.
