Sorry to have written so little over the last couple of weeks. I had hoped to have good news for Christmas, but sadly this did not turn out to be the case.
At the end of last year the community asked Sol Andalusi (SA) for an increased contribution to gas, electric and irrigation water. After various meetings, Luis Martinez made us a good offer so everyone was happy. We waited for the letter of agreement to be signed, but gradually the days turned into weeks. Finally just a week before I was to leave for the Christmas break, I was told that they would not sign until we had given them an idea of other changes we wanted to make in the future.
That was not my understanding of the agreement at all. I understood that the agreement was unconditional. However, I agreed to list additional changes we wished to discuss in January (such as the statutes, the ending of offsetting by SA so that we could manage our accounts, the control of events at SA and a couple of other matters).
Then Luis Martinez went to Santander, and was elusive on his return, however after chasing him around for a few days, I managed to secure a meeting for 7pm, 16th December. I explained I might be a few minutes late, but that Gerald Salters and Gerard der Kinderen would be there punctually (in fact they were there at 6.55pm). I arrived at 7.15 and found that Chechu and Luis had already left the premises. When they were contacted around 7.40pm we were told they were at another meeting in Torremolinos,
So even if I had been there for 19.00 they were clearly not going to allow us more than a couple of minutes.
They told no one they were leaving, they made no attempt to contact me. Neither was there any attempt to explain or apologise the next day (17th) and they knew I was leaving the following day (18th) and would not be back until 5th January.
I am sorry to say that this is the end of negotiations. We gave them a deadline to sign the letter but it would appear we have once again been victims of delaying tactics.
In my view it is now more important than ever that we make a concerted effort to form an independent Fase 1 community, support and liaise with the Association in their actions, and give up any idea of hoping to negotiate with SA on these matters.
I look forward to hearing any comments and will pass on more news as I get it. Wishing you all the very best for a happy new year with the overdue progress for our community.

Estimados todos,
Ultimas semanas de este año esperaba saludarles con noticias buenas para la Navidad. Pero parece que va a ser todo lo contrario ya que las cosas no han ido tal como esperaba.
La comunidad preguntó a Sol Andalusi (SA) por los aumentos de gas, electricidad y agua. Reunimos varias veces y conseguimos una buena oferta de Sr. Luis Matinez. Estábamos esperando la firma del contrato, pero los días y semanas pasaron. Una semana antes de la Navidad me avisaron que no firmarían antes que hubiesemos avisado que otras cosas queríamos al nuevo acuerdo. A mi ultimo intento de reunirme con ellos, llegué, debido a causas ajenas a mi voluntad, 15 minutos de tarde y ellos ya se habían marchado y además Gerald Salters y Gerard der Kinderen han llegado en punto. El diá siguiente yo no he oido nada de telefono o email para explicar lo que ha pasado. Por lo cual, no se ha firmado nada y por planes de Navidad de cada uno, la próxima reunión de podrá celebrar después de los Reyes.
Parece que esto ya ha sido el fin de las negaciones. Le habíamos dado una fecha límite para la firma de acuerdo pero ha sido imposible.
Creo que sería más importante que nunca que hiciésemos un esfuerzo de formar una comunidad independiente de Fase 1, apoyandonos a la asociación y no esperando poder negociar con SA, ya que ha sido imposible contar con ellos.
A la espera de sus comentarios, les deseo a todos Feliz Año 2011
