Update 23/02/2024
Dear All,
Despite our best efforts, with the new premises essentially being ready to be used, unfortunately the status of the common area entrance will be forcing us to modify plans.
Over the last weeks the stairs laying has been finished and handrail is being manufactured, however the lift box has not managed to arrive in time on the island to be installed.
This leaves us with a major risk to members from an open lift shaft, plus the annoying inconvenience of having 4 floors of stairs to walk up and down.
The matter was discussed within the committee and as stated, in the interest of safety, but also to meet the statute’s obligations, AGM is being shifted to DiveSystems Sliema (who we thank for offering their premises as an alternative) at 19:30 next Tuesday the 27 February.
During the meeting we will provide further updates in both spoken and visual manner and answer any further questions you may have.
We remind you to fill the following form if planning to attend so we can still prepare sufficient refreshments, or if not, you also have the opportunity to avail yourself of the proxy measure.
