Dear Paddocks Press Fan,
Welcome to the June edition of Paddocks Press - the last edition for the first half of the year!
 
With Anton and Carryn back from the end of course workshops, we are all eagerly awaiting the start of our 20th presentation of the UCT Sectional Title Schemes Management course this coming Monday. The course has been running since December 2005, and so far 2065 students have completed the course. We look forward to educating many more!
 
This month we have some exciting articles for you, which cover scheme insurance, developers reserved rights, don’t delay studying, a budget to levies timeline and some AGM aspects.
 
Kind regards,
Graham

In this article, Björn talks about how important it is for the trustee to know if the scheme is insured to full replacement value. (Reading time ± 3 min)

UCT Sectional Title Scheme Management Short Course
By Anton Kelly
We have just wrapped up the 19th presentation of the UCT Sectional Title Scheme Management short course, and during the introductory part of the course workshops, the students introduce themselves, mentioning who they work for and why they did the course. It’s very interesting, because while many people do the course because their employers require it, many others say they did the course to increase their knowledge of sectional title management.
 
In this article, Anton explains why one should not wait to complete the UCT Sectional Title Scheme Management short course. (Reading time ± 2 min)
