Festivals, Markets and Sunshine.

This weekend the first festival of the year was held here at Condado de Alhama, we had three packed days of entertainment organised by Mileniun and a committee of residents all funded by local sponsors so there was no cost to the community.

The festival was kicked off with an opening speech by Mª José Cerón Councillor of Celebrations and Health and a full evening of live music and children’s entertainment kept everyone in the festive spirit.

On the Saturday the festival continued with a number of events and competitions taking place across the resort highlighting in a communal lunch in a rather grand marque situated behind Naranjos 1.

Last week at the first Condado de Alhama market we had an estimated 1600 cars parked on the outside road bringing around 3000 visitors to the resort, this resulted in record nights for both the Clover bar and the supermarket.  This week I was not expecting there to be anywhere near the same number but yet again the market combined with the festival drew 1000′s of visitors to the resort.

The Clover bar was buzzing again and although there were long queues at the bar the staff worked hard to ensure that all were served,  in fact there were extra staff on hand to help clear the tables.  If the market continues to attract so many visitors then even more extra staff will be required.  The Market itself seemed bigger this week with a wider selection of stalls to choose from, I’m glad to say my favourite one was still there so I was able to stock up on ham again for the following week.

The festivities continued all through Sunday and rounded off with evening dancing and live music in Al Kasar and an very impressive firework display brought the proceedings to a close.  Again, despite extra staff, the  the clover struggled to cope with the large number of visitors, which although slightly annoying for those that had to queue for a drink it was good to see the resort so lively.  There’s only one bit of bad news from the Clover this weekend and that’s that they are intending to stop the 12 bottles for €10 offer, seems a bit daft as they have been extremely popular since that started it back on St Patricks day.  Perhaps you would all like to send them a message on http://www.facebook.com/clover.alhama asking them to keep it on.

On a final note I’d just like to say thank you to all those that helped organise the festival, I’m sure everyone appreciates all your hard work and we all look forward to the next one in August.

Sports Zone to reopen soon.

As we all know the Sports zone in the Jardines has been officially closed since it was taken over from Polaris World by IRM over a year ago. Whilst the tennis, paddle and squash counts have still remained unofficially in use the bar, rest rooms and other facilities have all remained closed. I am now very happy to confirm that the Sports zone has now been leased by the owners, IRM, to a private concern who are expecting to have the facilities fully reopened within the following few weeks. This is a great event for the owners and presidents on Condado who have been pushing to have these facilities reopened for over a year. I’m sure you, like me, will be wishing the new tenants ever success in this new venture and will support them in every way to ensure that the “Manzana” bar becomes a major part of the community social scene. I will provide an update when further details become available and when the opening day is announced.

Jugadores de golf / Golf Players

Dear Owners,

Did you know that the cheapest way to play golf on Condado is with the Condado de Alhama Golf Society.  You can play on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for €40 including a buggy.  Each of these days there will be a society competition with prizes for the winner, €2 entry fee, the main competition being on the Friday.  See to society notice board in the pro shop for booking tee times or come to the clover at 7pm on Wednesday nights.

This week we are donating all entry fees to the victims of the Lorca earthquake and prizes will come from Society funds, we have raised over €200 in the past few days.

Membership of the society only costs €5 a year ( March to March ) so you will save that on the first round you play, also members of the society can play at Hacienda de Alamo for only €35 a round.

Alumbrado Exterior / Exterior Lighting

Estimados Señores,

Me complace contestar a los tres puntos que nos plantean:
1.- Apagado en el vial exterior.- Seguimos las indicaciones especificadas en el reporte de finalización de los trabajos. No obstante, SI Uds. consideran darnos nuevas indicaciones, atenderemos la petición que la Junta Directiva nos traslade. Respecto al sector en dirección al Show Room, que se encontraba fuera de funcionamiento, ha sido reparado. Asimismo, el grupo electrógeno del que dependen vuelve a estar en marcha.
2.- Alumbrado del Monolito de entrada.- Estamos revisando las bombillas y esta semana creemos estará otra vez iluminado por completo. Hoy en concreto quedará reparado el Servitec, pero de las 19 bombillas que lo componen, tenemos ya en correcto estado 11, que serán las que iluminen esta noche de momento.
3.- Alumbrado Al Kasser (área de aparcamiento).- Hemos reportado a Polaris, con otras incidencias detectadas en el Centro Comercial. Aunque Mª José Ros está de vacaciones hasta el próximo Lunes, esperamos respuesta de otros encargados de Polaris.
El tema de la electricidad en Condado de Alhama es uno de los más complejos de tener al día. Al tiempo que hemos querido solucionar los puntos mencionados, a diario nos hemos visto obligados a acudir a distintos jardines donde las balizas habían sido golpeadas por una pelota y había que repararlas, o donde un térmico se había sobrecalentado y dejado sin alumbrado a toda una fase. En respuesta a la necesidades del complejo en este sentido y siguiendo las indicaciones de La Junta Directiva, el técnico de la Comunidad cambiará su turno dos días a la semana a fin de poder prolongar la jornada hasta las 22.30 h. De este modo, podrá revisar en tiempo adecuado el comportamiento del alumbrado en general. Independientemente, desde la oficina de la Administración, se ha solicitado un estudio de una empresa de electricidad para que revise todos los cuadros de luz del alumbrado exterior.

Saludos cordiales,
Dear Sirs,
I am leased to answer the three ítems bellow,
1.-Backout on the main road.- We followed the indications specified on the relevant report. Nevertheless, should you consider to give us new instructions, we will attend any query sent by the Presidents Committee. In the regards to the section towards the Show Room, it has been repaired. On the other hand, the GEL40 is working again.
2.- Concrete Sculpture.- We are currently working on reviewing the bulbs and hope to have it fixed along this week. Today, the Servitec will be fixed, but from the 19 bulbs, we have already fixed 11. These will light this night.
3.- Parking area AlKasser.- We have reported it to Polaris, with other different issues detected in the commercial area. Although Mª José Ros is on annual leave until next week, we are awaiting response form other people in Polaris.
Electricity item in Condado de Alhama is one of the most complicated to update. Whereas we have tried to sort the items above, daily, we have been sent to several gardens with marker lights broken by balls and had to be repaired; or where the termic in an electricity box was overheated leaving without light a whole fase of lamps. In response to the necessity of the Complex and following the Presidents indications, the Community Technician will change his schedule to be a couple of days per week in site until 22.30. On this way, he will be able to check in time the general lighting. Independently, form the office of the Administration, we have requested an electricity Company to test and value all the main boxes in the outer road.

Kind regards.

El diseño de deshabilitación ha seguido sus recomendaciones, por lo que en la hilera que linda con el interior del Resort, se han desconectado todas. Sin embrago, las hileras central y exterior, respetando coincidencia en paralelo, se han desconectado dos de cada tres.
