Spring blossoms on Tudor Village Drive

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER—PINNACLE LIVING

In June we farewelled Alan and Wendy who made the very difficult decision to leave their unit, 39A at Tudor Village. The unit is now for sale through Pinnacle Living. Jacqueline is managing the sale of the property through our waitlist, with viewing by appointment. Jacqueline is at Tudor Village on Mondays and Tuesdays. To make an appointment please call 9739 6122.

Dear Residents, I was disappointed to read and see the sensationalist media coverage of the Retirement Village “industry” earlier this week. Even though the coverage focussed on Aveo, it was derisive of all retirement villages and painted operators in a dim light, and therefore inferred all those 180,000 odd people who live in villages around the country had been deceived in one manner or another. Pinnacle Living does not approach exit fees like Aveo. Our exit fees are proposed to residents at a level that meets the minimum commercial requirements, but are a long way from being at a punitive of unfair level. Our exit fees are all in the range of a total of 3.0% to 3.5% per annum of the resale price of the property, up to a limit of 10 years. Reviewing the growth of property prices at our villages indicates our homes have grown in value at approximately 6% per annum over the life of the village at Yarrbat Place or as far back as the last 12 years at Tudor Village. Bellarine Springs is also following this trend, even though it’s very early. The exit fees are indicatively one half of the growth in value of the property. For that not insignificant price, residents enjoy all the benefits that our communities and villages offer, which you are very well aware of. This is a fair balance of the unavoidable commercial necessities and a price for the facilities, product and services. During the post GFC period, many operators have sought to enhance their returns. Aveo is not alone. Many operators now accumulate a maximum fee over 6 years, rather than 10 years. Many also retain a substantial portion of the capital growth of the property for themselves, in addition to exit fees. We have deliberately resisted this greedy temptation. Individual purchasing decisions and market variability in the future cannot allow us to say emphatically what a particular outcome for a particular resident or specific village may be, however we are extremely confident and even more resolute after this week that our exit fee arrangement is balanced and fair, and more particularly sustainable. After all, over 600 people who have purchased homes in Tudor Village, Yarrbat Place or Bellarine Springs over 20 years could not be wrong. Geoff Reeve Chief Executive Officer - Pinnacle Living

RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION REPORT

July 2017

Dear Residents

Your committee held the monthly meeting on Friday 9th June. The minutes are posted on the notice board. Winter has finally arrived and we have had a great run of lovely warm days and the blossoms in Tudor Village Drive look amazing. The interest groups have had a number of activities to entertain us. Make sure you keep your village news handy to avail yourself of the upcoming activities and keep an eye on the notice board.

We now have a sponsor for the Village News. Heritage Holden have agreed to a 12 month sponsorship and they will have an A4 advert in the Newsletter each month. The building permit for the glass roof over the barbeque area has been approved and will be constructed in summer. The policy for residents and staff disputes has been updated. A copy will be placed in the library. A group from Tudor Village took up an invitation from a new resident Barry to attend his 17 piece big band, OPUS 21 at Cherry Tree village on 17th June. We were treated to a great night of ‘’Big band ‘’ and swing music and the vocalists were terrific. If we are able we should have the social club look at an invitation to have OPUS 21 at Tudor Village in the near future.

Yarra Ranges Council continues to dodge our issue with the drainage problem in the village. It seems that they think because the drains are built to “specifications’’ it is our problem. It is really their problem in so far as if it overflows it causes damage to houses. They have been put on notice of this fact by letter which has been conveniently ignored. Watch this space!!!

Keep well & warm Richard

A MESSAGE FROM THE VILLAGE MANAGER Dear Residents, July, middle of winter! Hope you are all staying warm and resting if you are unlucky enough to have caught a cold or flu. It is important to stay hydrated during the winter months as heating and our bodies working harder to stay warm. July 1 commences the new financial year and the new service fees are $312.40 per month. 2 Construct, the builders of your Community Centre engaged plumbers at their expense to resolve the water leaks in the board and lounge area. They changed the fall of a concealed gutter to ensure water flows to downpipe. Late December and March we had very heavy rain fall that caused numerous problems in the village. There is a council storm water drain between Unit 174 and 175 through the village to the lagoon. During excessive rain the drain cannot cope. Geoff and I have spoken with numerous staff at Council and met with Coordinator of Investigating & Approvals on site to discuss whether the council will assist with fixing the problem. They explained the drains are built with the regulations and unfortunately there will be times when there is excessive heavy rains where the drains will flood. As the council are not able to assist we have engaged the Services of a specialised plumber who is working with Geoff with his engineering hat on devise a plan with the possibility of an additional drain. After the wonderful efforts of Russell, we now have a sponsor to cover all the costs associated with distributing the monthly newsletter. We are proud to announce Heritage Holden as the sponsor. If you are in the market for a new car, mention you are a resident of Tudor Village and see what they can do for you. Dr Barbara will be consulting on the 13th July and will have a medical student with her to observe only. If you would prefer the student not sit in on your consultation, please advise Stephanie when making your appointment Melanie Ryan Village Manager

F.O.T.V.G FREINDS OF THE VILLAGE GARDENS MONDAY 3RD JULY 1:30PM Our June 5th Meeting with succulent specialist “Attila Kapitany” was a very successful day and very busy. Prior to our meeting many people attended buying plants and checking his display. Attila and Michele have extensive horticultural knowledge plus many years experience, both were very willing to share their expertise. Thank you for all your support, busiest day ever for our garden club and have received many great reports of his meeting.

Look out for these stamps on your mail, $1 each. Thank you also for those purchasing plants on the table oppo-site the BBQ. There is an honesty jar on site with plants varying for $2-$6. Next Months meeting will be Monday 3rd July at 1:30pm. There will be a great informative talk by Marissa, a Grand Daughter of Des and resident at Tudor Village. Marissa will kindly share some of her knowledge on Roses. Over the last 13 years or more Marissa has worked worldwide budding roses. Please come along and support our special guest.

All ladies welcome.

CRAFT GROUP 2ND & 4TH THURDAYS OF THE MONTH 10AM The sales of our winter woollies has been quite amazing with many scarves, hats and children’s knitwear being sold, however we still have good stocks of all these goods. We also have a new supply of knitted toys which are adorable and well worth a look and perhaps a consideration for a Christmas present for the little ones. Also well worth considering is our new range of embroi-dered cards and the button necklaces and bracelets. Wanda.

FLIM NIGHT SATURDAY 15TH JULY 7PM The June film shown was “Warm Springs” – the story of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sixteen residents attended and all enjoyed the film. Details of film to be shown in July will be posted on the notice board early in July. Lois and Peter.

BOWLS - INDOOR AND LAWN BOWLS OUTDOOR BOWLING SUNDAYS & THURSDAYS AT 1.30PM. INDOOR BOWLING 1.30PM SATURDAYS. Welcome to the July news from the bowling group. At our last committee meeting it was decided that the twilight competition starting in November will not be a ladies & men’s competition as in the past but a combined score competition. This is due to the small number of lady bowlers. The indoor bowlers are still getting good numbers on Saturday afternoons with 2 mats in use most Saturdays. Anybody wishing to try either indoor or outdoor bowls should give me a call we have sets of bowls to loan with coaching one on one until you are ready to join the group. Happy bowling Jim

HAPPY HOUR FRIDAYS AT 5PM Another good month for the Happy Hour group starting with a Pizza night and ending with us combining with the Men's shed committee to present a talk on security around the village, at home and when in, or parking the car. This followed the men's group organising the very successful number plate screw changeover to anti tamper screws on the Friday afternoon prior to Happy Hour. It's amazing that numbers continue up around the 90's even though winter is well upon us and is an indication of the success of the evening. With a number of the regulars heading north over the next few weeks we appeal to anyone that can assist in the night to see President Bernard and offer your help. Upcoming is a "Souper" night where soup will be on the menu. A number of residents will be pitting their homemade skills to present a variety of soups for all to enjoy and sample. Bert Burrows returns with his music at 7pm on the first Friday of each month starting in August. Your committee Bernard (President), Paul (Secretary), Glenice (Treasurer), Helen, Ernie, Lorna, Haydon .

MEN’S SHED Another busy month with our replacement of number plate screws with one way screws helped by the supply of screws from Victoria Police. In total we replaced close to 100 and still going. If you missed out please contact us and we may be able to help. We were fortunate to have Craig Wetjen to talk to us about Men’s Health and Sheds, he presented a wonderful selection of Men’s sheds on the big screen. Craig has been a professional photographer for 16 years and has written a book called Men and their Sheds, it has 100 photos of Men’s sheds. He touched on his own experience and emphasised the importance for men who are feeling down to contact Beyond Blue and seek help and the importance of family and friends for our wellbeing. After the talk we had a great lunch cooked by our volunteers with much gusto, Craig also had copies of his coffee table book for sale, if anyone wants a copy please call me. All who attended were im-pressed with his presentation. Our next outing will be the Badger Creek Men’s Shed trip, it will be on Monday 24th leaving at 9.30 am, this is a car pool event and should be very interesting with three sheds and a World War One Jeep being restored, we will have a light lunch locally after the tour. Please place your name on the notice board list.

Trevor, Events Coordinator.
