Operational Report
Our Dainfern Passion rose is finally ready, having been propagated by Ludwig’s Roses. We will be receiving the first roses shortly and will then deliver them to those residents who preordered and paid in advance. We will slowly be planting these throughout the Estate too – so keep an eye out for this stunning addition to our beautiful Estate.
Rain Fall
We have had an incredible amount of rain this year – 271mm (at the time of writing this report), causing the closure of the golf course on certain days, as well as the massive amount of rubbish that gets washed up by the river daily – especially when there is excessive rain. We thank the Turfnet, Nature Association and Maintenance teams for all pulling together to clean up daily to ensure our Estate is kept tidy.
Generators
Loadshedding and generators are still issues that we attend to daily. We ask for your patience as we all navigate these speedbumps
and sort out queries as quickly as possible.
Men’s Club Champs
We hosted our exciting Men’s Club Champs on 25 and 26 February and we congratulate Oliver Goldhill on being the winner for 2023. We look forward to the Ladies Club Champs in May this year.
Clubhouse Events
There have been several events hosted at the Clubhouse including a blood drive, two bird walks, Dainfern Toastmasters, Dainfern KnitWits and the
Epilepsy Indaba.
Lifestyle Survey
We had an overwhelming response to our Lifestyle Survey, and we thank those who did participate. Our Management and Board are taking the feedback into consideration in their planning and budgeting going forward. We can’t keep everyone happy all the time – although it certainly does guide us in the right direction.
Budget Workshops
We held two successful budget workshops in early February which raised healthy debate amongst residents. Mrs Geraldine Harris, our Fincom Chair, has worked hard with all involved to get the new budget ready for the SGM planned for 9th March. We encourage your attendance and support.
