The Committee are all volunteers who work on behalf of our Members. We meet every couple of months to discuss all of the issues that the Association is dealing with. We welcome and are always open to hear from Members about issues they wish to be considered.
Elected officials
Robin Lee, Chairman
Michelle and I have been owners at The Bay since 2008 and have seen lots of changes over the last 10 years. Filey is a delightful place and we love the walk down onto the award winning beach. It is a real escape from the pressures of life. I didn’t really come to be Chairman of the Owners Association but am pleased at the positive contribution that we have made since our formation in 2017.
Jonathan Lumb, Treasurer
We have loved Filey and the surrounding area for many years, especially the beach which provides ample room for us and our dogs to exercise. In 2019 we became proud owners on the Bay and joined FBOA. Joining the committee, when they put out a call for a Treasurer seemed like a natural progression, and I hope I can represent the owners and protect their interests going forward.
Jonathan has recently taken up the role of Treasurer from Peter Convey, who we thank for his tireless service to the Association.
Anthony Smith, Compliance Secretary
My family have owned our house since 2013 and love visiting to the Bay as well as owning a house that other people visit and make memories. With a background in engineering and senior leadership in education, Anthony is keen to work as an association with the bay and with owners to ensure statutory and contractual obligations are undertaken.
Committee members
We also have Members on the Committee responsible for particular areas:
Mary Jacklin, Member Recruitment Secretary
Simon Kelemen, Website Secretary
My wife and I have owned a property at the Bay since early 2016. We love both our house and the Filey area. As a letting asset, we have also a vested interest in the success and successful management of the holiday village. It is critical, therefore, that Owners have a voice that is heard. Consequently, I am happy to support the committee in any way possible to ensure that the Bay flourishes.
Supporting Members
Chris Taylor, Technical support and system administrator
My wife and I have been owners since 2016, but we have been regular visitors to the East Coast since childhood. We now have the honour of introducing Yorkshire coast charms to a small but growing collection of grandchildren! Chris works in the technology industry as a consultant, and Katharine manages the bookings for our holiday apartment.
Help from Members
And from time to time we call on the expertise of other Members to help with particular projects or issues. We are extremely pleased to benefit from the vast array of talents of all Members, and very grateful for the way we all ‘pull together’ to achieve the aims of the Association.
