All activities organized by residents social club. I would like to see more bus trips to shows & movie in the future for when we get to the point of no driving licence.

In my view we are a village with no capital gain. Its a money making scheme. Homes - high quality. Well cared for gardens. Needs restaurant for nightly meals. For what we paid 9.5 years ago we get very little in returns. Very few freebies not like Ryman.
