Dear Catherine,
Please contact Julie at the office and she can help you.

Richard

We have looked into this as well as other energy saving initiatives. Unfortunately, unlike residential energy projects the commercial side of the trust is not so favourable and quite significant investment is needed from our end to which we simply don’t have currently the resources available. We hav...

Richard

Nothing last year, as we only started charging effectively as a levy on the rentals for electricity at the end of Q2 of this financial year.

Richard

Forgot to say the charge depends on the lodge size.

Richard

We charge between £10 to £25 per night for electricity for our renters. This is built in to the rental price. If they cancel a non refundable booking this gets refunded but the rest of their rent is not refundable.

Richard

The nearest event will be in Aberfeldy. More info below:

Richard

As previously stated we are able to take payments in advance and indeed need to for members to be able to bank their weeks.

Richard

Julie - member relations can help with swaps for a like for like lodge or even with an upgrade should you need a larger lodge within the club. Please contact her via email at

I understand that frustrations can run high, but I’d like to remind everyone of the forum’s purpose: to facilitate respectful discussion. The club is committed to transparency, and we will provide factual updates as soon as we have definitive answers. Personal attacks and inflammatory language do no...

Richard

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the prepayment of management fees for banking weeks with RCI and other exchange providers. To clarify, RCI requires confirmation from the resort that a member is fully paid up before they accept a week for banking. Once a week is banked, it is made available to...

Richard

The low voting turnout is indeed disappointing, and we share your concerns about member engagement. We go to considerable lengths to encourage participation. For example, at the Special General Meeting this summer, we noticed a low response rate and made phone calls to encourage voting. While some M...

Dear Ronnie, I have replied on the 27th of January so not sure if you are perhaps not able to see my response? Best, Richard Perhaps Richard has caught a bug and has been too ill to reply; perhaps he has mislaid his notes on the numbers of Proxy Votes and how they were used; perhaps he has been on h...

Richard

Dear Ronnie, We do not use the club weeks for votes. With regards to proxy votes. The guidance was clear in the voting papers, the members can choose who they wish to hand their vote to, doesn’t have to be a member of the committee and the voting papers were to be sent to Morris & Young and not ...

Richard

Dear Stuart, Our voting process operates strictly within the guidelines of our club's constitution. The essence here is not the quantity but the legitimacy of the process. We had 173 casting their votes - this might seem like a drop in the ocean, but it's a drop that followed the rules, making it as...

Richard

Dear Ray, To address your query, I am not aware of any individuals who were present at the AGM who were not eligible to be there. The situation you mentioned regarding the lady who was asked to leave was handled appropriately, as per our protocols. As for the discrepancy in the numbers reported in t...

Richard

Dear Stuart, The recent levy resolution was to align our direction with what the majority of our members want. The committee could have implemented it without a vote, but member involvement is key to us. We had 173 members voting this year. The lower turnout at the AGM likely indicates contentment w...

Richard

Dear Stuart, The £25 fee was an all-encompassing rate for all guests, including renters - not just an initial offer. However, the situation evolved when the hotel recognized our success in rentals. They subsequently revised their stance and terminated the original contract. The hotel then proposed a...

Richard

Dear Ray, Zoom participation does count towards the AGM quorum. Our Articles, especially Article 10.11, include electronic participation. So, those joining via Zoom are part of the quorum count. Best, Richard There’s significant questionable issues relating to the AGM and just wondering if I was the...

Dear John,

Thanks for your post, the cancellation of the leisure agreement was indeed communicated to the members at the AGM since it was triggered only a day before the event.

Please see the footage or minutes for your reference.

Dear Ronnie,

Richard

Thank you Ronnie - very useful to know! Best, Richard Thank you Richard for that 'sign posting' re accessing this Forum which I've just come across, thereby making my point that it is not as user friendly, not just to myself, but others too, as original Owners' Forum was and perhaps one of the reaso...

Richard

Thank you Ray, for confirming and apologies again for the delay experienced. Best wishes Richard Just to confirm that the voting paper did arrive in today’s post. Clearly the delay was due to the poor service from Royal Mail and not LRHC. I often think that they hold back mail for 3 days or more to ...

Richard

Dear Ray,

Have you received the letter now?
