The CRA have, today, delivered a letter to the Mayor. On the advice of our lawyers, we have released it to the press in spanish (for the spanish press) and english. You will be able to read it, if you wish, in the first instance at the public meeting tomorrow, and it will be on the notice board at Kennelly's. It is very long, consequently, we are unable to distribute copies.
Next week, the letter( in English only), together with the press release it was attached to, will be on the "press release" page.

Three members of the Central Liaison Committee of the CRA went to Murcia yesterday,29th March for a long awaited meeting with MASA, which MASA in fact requested. On arrival however, they were informed by our lawyers, Garrigues, that MASA had cancelled the meeting. Apparently, the senior representative of MASA who should have attended the meeting was in Miami!
Co-incidentally, we learned on Tuesday, that MASA had informed Mazarron Council of the impending meeting. Their motives for this decision are not clear. Nobody knows what deals were done between the council and MASA regarding Camposol. Given the lack of willingnes to date, by both parties to discuss Camposol with the representatives of it's residents, some might well conclude that MASA are covering their backs because they have concerns about the possible repurcussions when the truth finally emerges.
Clearly, Camposol is a "hot potatoe" politically, due to the impending May elections.
Equally clearly, this has affected our meeting tomorrow. The written report in English will not be available until the middle of next week, at the earliest. The Garrigues lawyers will be presenting their findings orally in a presentation. The CRA will have to find a way of enabling questions to be asked at the meeting, and afterwards. This is not ideal, since there will be a lot of questions.
However, what people should realise is that tomorrows meeting is not the end, but the start of a process of evaluation. We need to assimilate and understand the "state of affairs" on Camposol, then plan our strategy accordingly. It is very important to remember that both Garrigues and the CRA are totally committed to negotiation, not confrontation, and that both regard legal action in the courts as a last resort. We say this because a number of people seem to be under a variety of misapprehensions.

The British Consul, Juliet Maric, who is based in Alicante has forwarded all the correspondence sent to her by the Camposol Resident's Association to the European Parliament. This, together with other initiatives taken by the CRA on behalf of the owners and residents of Camposol will lead us towards acceptable solutions to the problems created through persistant and chronic indifference of Grupo Masa and the Town Council.
Spain's biggest law firm, Garrigues have been advising the CRA of our legal rights for the past 4 months. the results of their involvement which will take the form of a REPORT and RECOMMENDATIONS, will be presented at a Public Meeting on Saturday 31st March at Canadas Del Romeros Social Centre at 11 00am prompt.
This is a one item agenda, " A Case for The Lawyers" and everyone is welcome.

The posties at Kennelly's have informed us today that as of yesterday morning, the Post Office will not give them ANY post for sector A. If you have not bought a key for your box, from the sector A committee, then your post will be held at the Post Office for no longer than 2 weeks, at which point it will be returned to sender.
This applies even if you have signed a consent form at kennelly's.
ALL post boxes on sector A for which keys have not been paid, have been taped up.

Sometime ago the CLC ( Camposol Liaison Committee) of the CRA, wrote to the British Consul asking for their help to resolve the problems on Camposol. Following a phone call to the Chairman Mr Roy Pugh earlier this week, they have now sent our case on to The European Parliament.

On Thursday 29th March, the CRA and Garrigues are meeting MASA lawyers. This is very good news, and we hope to be able to resolve some of the more pressing issues which affect us, for example, the lighting. It must be emphasised that it is solely due to the involvement of Garrigues that this has been possible; the CRA cannot do this without them You cannot do without them.
Please help us to retain their services until Camposol is the place it should be, by contributing as much as you can to the lawyers fund at Bankinter on Commercial Centre B.
We will be including the outcomes of this on the 31st March at the Public Meeting.

The meeting will take place on: Saturday 31st March;
Venue: Canadas Los Romeros ( where the Sunday Market is held ) on the right, en route to El Pareton;
Time: 11.00am.
NB This is not a committee/general meeting of the CRA.It is a SINGLE agenda meeting. The eyes of Murcia will be on us, so we want the meeting to be civilised and dignified. The lawyers will need to explain our situation, give us their suggestions, and be listened to very carefully, so courteousness and order will be crucial.

Thank you.
