| Booking system | A booking chart for the following calendar year is circulated in agreed priority order before the owners’ annual general meeting (AGM, in October), where the bookings for the next year are confirmed. Each share 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 share then starts at the bottom and starts its climb back to the top over a period of six years. Each share 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. This way, thirty-six weeks are firmly booked before the year begins. Allowing for time for winter maintenance, the remaining “bonus weeks” are booked with priority in reverse order to the original booking chart. So having last choice during the first round of bookings has its compensations. These extra bookings are confirmed on the first day of the month one month before the booking. |
| Priority for school holidays | Up to 2 special (School Holiday) shares:- Special share owners are sent the booking chart before any other owners and can choose school holiday weeks. |

General comments by vendor
The Annual Budget is agreed at the AGM (in October), which is shared evenly between shares, with an additional 12% (currently £15) per month surcharge for special shares. In addition, communal items (e.g. Calor gas, cleaning materials, engine oil, Elsan blue, etc.) are paid for from a central fund.
We have been owners since 2017 and have very much enjoyed our time on Pendeford, as well as making friends with its other owners.
