Dear Paddocks Press Fan,
I hope that the Election Day dye has now faded from your left thumbnail. Thank goodness body corporate voting is simpler - or is it?

This edition of Paddocks Press includes an article by Anton on trustee decisions, Clint’s guide to a scheme’s really important financial reports, Jen’s article on scheme improvements and our usual Paddocks Club Q&A extract. We also introduce you to Vuyisani Kala, one of our recent STSM bursary students.

Keep well and warm.
Kind regards,
Graham
