Inside Timeshare has received the following press release from the Los Claveles opposition, we publish in the interest of neutrality, as we have said before, both sides must be able to voice their opinion.
You may not agree with the content, that is your prerogative, but it does call for all sides to come together and settle this dispute for the benefit of the club.
PRESS RELEASE
Los Claveles report a record surplus
While the dispute rages on, setting owner against owner, Señor Germán Castro, the Managing Director of WimPen has written to all Los Claveles owners with the latest set of accounts showing a record income and a record surplus.
He also offers an olive branch to owners and says, “We are also the first to want an AGM to be convened of all parties, so that everyone can be summoned and vote, and so that everyone can have the right to offer their candidature to become members of the Committee and propose agenda items, for the benefit of all Club members, so they can decide on their administrator and their future. WIMPEN will be the first to respect this decision, provided that everyone can freely and democratically exercise their right to vote and that an impartial external moderator is appointed to preside over said AGM”.
“This is exactly what we need,” says Roger Barrow, who heads up the working group opposed to the way the current committee are handling the dispute. “This is the only way to get a resolution to the dispute without building on the mounting legal costs for all sides. We believe the current chair and committee are leading us up a path to disaster, and we need a way out”
Sue Mackenzie, the working group’s accountant said, “Snr Castro reports that the reserves have grown 119% in the period 2013 to 2016, an astonishing result in these days of struggling timeshare resorts. Ivan Pengelly’s decision to sell his shares to OnaGrup, who he judged were best placed to improve the community’s income, has been fully justified.”
“It is notable that in 2016 for the first time, it has not been necessary to make a provision for bad debts. Costs have remained level over the whole period, with the exception of the massive legal bill for legal; services and arbitration of over £100k of owners’ money, created by the committee’s actions”, continued Sue Mackenzie.
“With the exception of Los Claveles, all the other WimPen resorts AGMs have agreed a new 3 year contract for WimPen with an overwhelming majority” adds Roger.
So what happens now? A decision on the appeal is still awaited, and there are legal proceedings in Spain to be resolved. All this is going to take time and more expense. “Have owners approved these legal costs?” asks Roger, “On whose authority was this expenditure agreed? We need this full general meeting very soon, then we can all settle down again and enjoy our holidays at Los Claveles.”
Señor Castro ends his letter to owners wishing all a Happy Christmas and saying, “We ask you all to think of the Club and create a prosperous and positive future where everyone can enjoy their holidays, without conflict and in a friendly atmosphere.”
Inside Timeshare calls on all concerned parties to take heed and make the right decision to get together and discuss this matter and resolve it for the benefit of all club members. Only you can do this.
