LERA Newsletter February 2020

Dear Links Estate Resident

We are sure the majority of you will have received and read our Booklet celebrating 30 years of our Residents Association. This hopefully gave you an interesting read and gave you some idea of the type of things the Association have been involved in.

Those of you who have been members for many years will already be aware of these activities and some of our success stories. Although we have not been so visible over the recent months the committee has continued to meet via ZOOM and more recently in St Andrews Church Hall.

We are hoping to be able to be more active this year and look at some activities that will bring the community together. In the past some residents took part in a Garden Competition which is one thing we are looking at doing again this year.

We have waived the annual £2 subscription fees for the time being but will announce when that will resume and your Street Rep will pop the form through your door.

We are looking to recruit new volunteers to join the committee and share their skills, knowledge and ideas. Particularly if you are a good communicator, or have experience of attending /chairing meetings, or are good with figures and have computer skills. None of the roles are majorly time consuming and if anyone is interested in finding out how we work and maybe offering a bit of time you would be welcome to join us at the next quarterly meeting on the 9th of February, 7.30pm at St Andrews Church Hall and chat to existing committee members about the roles we are particularly looking to fill.

Please email us if you are thinking of attending so we can gauge numbers for seating: lerabromley26@gmail.com

You can also use our email address to report any concerns or raise issues you think the community should know about. We will respond.

Many of you make good use of our Facebook page, sharing information/concerns and offering things for sale etc. We also put any information on there, such at the Waste Collection Schedule and messages from Trading Standards. As long as you are signed up to be a member of the Residents Association and given details about where you live, you will be invited to join the Facebook Group.

Wishing you well and hope to see a few new faces at the next meeting

Kind regards

LERA Links Estate Residents Association Committee
