Renewal of Membership
As always at this time of year, we start the renewal process for the next year and this year we are giving you advance notice.

The FBOA membership year runs from October 1st 2024 – December 31st 2025. To remain a member (including membership of the FBOA Facebook group, the mailing list and other benefits) you will need to have renewed by December 31st 2024 so we advise renewing ASAP.

Please remember for renewals:

• If you own more than one property you need to pay and be a member for all the properties you own
• The cost is only £10 for 2024 and will be kept the same for 2025
• Each plot gets one voting right in any votes
• If you have already renewed you will still be receiving this email so don’t worry – you don’t have to do anything!

As we move into 2025 and with the issues being reported in 2024, it is vital that as owners we are united and one voice. To remain legally recognised for the essential audit of the service charge we need 50% of the eligible owners every year to be members. Please ensure you renew your membership and encourage others to join!

You will be easily able to renew at http://www.fileyowners.org/renew from October 1st. 

Best wishes

Anthony
