BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - NEWEST CABLE TV WRINKLE

So, got your notice that Comcast (Xfinity) has come up with a
new gimmick to extract more $ for their overpriced cable service?

Isn't it time our Board got tough with these robber barons?

The cable company has a captive audience of 640 households for their internet, phone and telephone services and we are paying top dollar, with escalator clauses.

AND NO, WE DO NOT NEED ANOTHER "CONSULTANT"! 

Might it be possible that some present and maybe former Board members are getting premium cable and internet services without charge?  Nahh, couldn't be right?

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - SPEAK UP!

OK, time to come out of your shell and ask that question, state that opinion, make that complaint or offer that compliment.  Let's hear it from the newly returned snowbirds, the recently observant, the recovered coma victims and the unexpectedly sober.

Please, no personal attacks, bad language or (unless accompanied by photos) allegations of sexual hanky panky.

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - SEPTEMBER 2013 CHAT

NEW!  IMPROVED!  FREE!  YAK AWAY!

You can post a comment here about anything.  Just remember:
  1. Keep it clean.
  2. Accusations of criminal deeds must include verifiable facts.
  3. Accusations of sexual misconduct must include photos. 
 Any particularly popular topic will get its own space.

BAY COLONY CLUB CONDO - TIME TO REFURBISH?



The following email from Jack Israel l is reprinted in its entirety.

"Charlie:
   How about starting a blog item on new carpeting in BCC?  We SAVED $250k last year by cutting contracts.  We budgeted $140k for new carpeting in BCC.  We are all paying for that.  Do people want to replace the 20-year-old+ carpeting or are they happy with it?  Does the board majority intend to spend any money on carpeting this year (it's already August)?  If not, where is that money going?  Rebates at the end of the year?  Lowering the maintenance next year?  Is that a good idea? 

  Also, there is $46k in the budget for upgrading bathrooms in Recs 2 and 3.  What is the story with that?  Do people want Bay Colony Club or Bay Colony Slum? 

  This is a serious issue in terms of whether we are spending enough money on capital improvements.  Some want to spend as little as possible, others want to keep the place up. 

Jack"

So, let's hear some comments on refurbishing.  Be a nice change from the recent mud slide of personal attacks...................
