Running costs 2010 (including management)
The total maintenance costs for this share for 2010 was £629.63. and the management fee was an additional £329. The latter is only a rough guide to the future: the management companies under consideration charge from between £250 and £400. This share pays 7.6% of the total of the annual costs for 2010, which is less than one twelfth, in recognition of the three owners’ school holiday priority.

This is one of the eight standard shares without the additional priority for school holidays

Booking arrangements	A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order before the owners’ annual meeting in November, where the bookings for the next year are confirmed. Each owner has a priority for that year, and moves up a couple of places each year: after a year at the top of the list, the owner then starts at the bottom, and after six years the cycle begins again. Each owner can choose two weeks (separately or as a fortnight) in the ‘high season’ (April to October inclusive), and one week in the remainder of the year. By this route, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked before the year begins. Allowing for time for winter maintenance, the remaining fourteen weeks are booked with priority in reverse order to the original chart, so having last choice originally does have its compensations. These extra bookings are confirmed on the first day of the month before the month of the booking
Special holiday arrangements	There are four owners who pay a premium on their maintenance and management costs to have priority booking of their school holiday weeks, which they fix before other owners choose their weeks.
