AGM Decisions
Annual General Meeting of Co-owners at Vale dos Pinheiros on 21 November 2008
Summary of Decisions
Jardim Vista will be retained as the gardening contractor for 2009. It will make a plan for gardens improvement that will be agreed by the Gardens Committee. Some E9,000 will be dedicated to gardens’ improvement. The gardens contract budget for 2009 will fall by 1.38%. Regular meetings will be held to monitor maintenance and improvements.
The 2008 budget outcome is slightly less than the budget.
The 2009 budget is reduced by 10.9% compared to 2008.
The existing 10% annual contribution to the Reserve Fund is expected to be sufficient for maintenance and re-painting of the Condominium in 2012.
The playground swings will be upgraded to include a baby swing.
The investment projects for pool heating at shoulder periods and pool furniture will be deferred. Minimal Health Club improvement will be done within the planned budget. A questionnaire will be sent to all co-owners on their needs for the Health Club / Gym area and pool heating.
Ways to provide better TV channels / reception will be further urgently researched.
Security of the condominium will continue to be provided by Vigiquinta ‘driving through’ the condominium. Security will be kept under review.
Jacuzzis and similar installations are contrary to the Condominium Regulations and are prohibited on patios. The two co-owners with Jacuzzis will be formally notified.
VdP will become members of Aproquila so that we can be better informed and influence infrastructure developments in and around Quinta do Lago. Oscar will represent VdP at meetings etc.
Leon Fuller (VdP no. 41) and Ralph Sangster (VdP no. 20) have been elected to the General Assembly and General Committee respectively.
Oscar will continue as Administrator at least until end 2009.

Algarve
Welcome to the Algarve.
Wherever you look, the colours of the mountains and sea are always with you, creating the impression of a water-colour dotted with highlights of gold, green and blue. The region is an extensive and pleasant one, with a Mediterranean climate, marked by the smell of the sea at low tide and the scent of wild flowers.A stroll through the tangled web of narrow streets, alleys and steps to be found away from the coast is the best way of getting to know this part of the region. But you can also easily lose yourself in the vastness of the coastal strip. Here the backdrop is composed of some of Europe's most beautiful beaches, from where you can admire the rocky coastline and the playful shadows they cast on the sand.After the enchantment of the landscape, you can discover the aromas and flavours of the traditional Algarve cuisine. The menu may consist of fish and shellfish, with such dishes as caldeirada de peixe (fish-stew) or cataplana de amêijoas (clams steamed in a copper pan), or you can enjoy the traditional mountain food of stewed chickpeas and cabbage. The range of choices will also include the famous regional delicacies, such as figs, almonds, carobs and the brandy made from the locally grown medronho (arbutus-berry), distilled up in the hills in old copper stills.As you travel across the Algarve, amidst its hills and plains filled with places of great ecological interest, rich in biodiversity and ecosystems, you will feel as though you are passing through an area full of different traditions, unchanged for many centuries. The handicraft is skilfully manufactured by the local craftsmen, who make use of longstanding, ancestral techniques and produce an excellent range of pottery, woven baskets, copper and brass articles, or other pieces made of linen and jute.Only a step away from the tranquil peace of the inland region is the excitement of the Algarve nightlife. Bars, discos, marinas and casinos guarantee visitors the very best kind of merrymaking. The region's built heritage is something you cannot afford to miss. The architecture of the whitewashed houses, with their brightly-coloured mouldings and remarkably beautiful chimneys, the church belfries and the museums, all reveal particular memories of the ancestors of the Algarve people and help to make this such a special destination.Also to be recommended is the range of outdoor sports that are available, whether you're playing golf on lush green courses or enjoying some physical exercise at some of the region's excellent facilities, whether you're on the coast or perhaps up in the hills, where, after the rigours of winter and even before the first signs of spring, the land is covered in a pinkish white blanket, produced by the blossom of the almond-trees scattered across the horizon. This is the true portrait of an Algarve that you'll find waiting for you, all year round.
