    Forest has tenants in his place currently who wish to purchase his house and a share. They have started their six month stint and will be close to 6 months by the time of the AGM, so will possibly be on the agenda for share transfers at next yeas AGM.

    Their names are Matt and Lisa. They will hopefully be in attendance at the community dinner on the 8th, and this would be a great opportunity to meet them and get to know them (and them us).

  • Meeting Notice Will be Emailed to Members

    As per the decision at a recent General Meeting, the board will in future send out agendas and other communications to your email address rather than by post. The purpose of this change is to reduce postage costs and to enable the board to communicate with members more effectively.

    Important – You can Opt Out if you do not wish to receive meeting notices via email:
    If you wish to continue receiving agenda mailouts via post rather than email, please let the board know, otherwise future meeting notices will go to your email address.

    Note: If we do not have your email address, you will continue to receive correspondence via post.

    We have recently posted each member a letter explaining this and checking with you that the email address we have for you is correct.

    Access Agenda Via Website:
    In future Agenda’s will also be posted on the website within the required notice period.  All members who have a website account are able to access the agenda on the website by logging in and going to the member’s library section. If you would like instructions on how to access the website, or if you currently don’t have a website account but would like one, please get in touch with us by emailing info@nmbngee.org (or call Max).

    The current agenda can be downloaded here: http://nmbngee.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/20171007-SGM-Agenda.pdf

  • How to Login to the Nmbngee Website

    If you are a Nmbngee shareholder, you are entitled to post stories on the website and also access the private members library where you can access minutes of current and past meetings, download a copy of the Nmbngee Rules and a lot of other useful Nmbngee related information.

    You can also create For Sale or For Rent posts on the website if you wish to advertise your house for sale or rent.

    To get access to all these features you need a user account, which you then use to login.  Most shareholders have login accounts.  The only one’s who don’t are those who haven’t yet provided their email address to the Board.

    How Can I Get A Website Account?

    If you wish to have a website account created for you, email info@nmbngee.org with your request, email address and phone number, and we will get you connected. A username and password link will be sent to your email address.

    How Do I Reset My Password (for both first time and existing users)?

    When your account is first created you will be sent a link to set your password, and a link to login. If you have forgotten or lost this email, you can go to the login page and click “Lost your password?” and provide your email address.  This will also generate a password link that will be sent to your email.

    It will look something like this:

    Username: Max     <—– this is your username

    To set your password, visit the following address:

    <http://nmbngee.org/wp-login.php?action=rp&key=PhsjhUNvbasj97jg8y6&login=Max>      <—– this link is your password reset link

    http://nmbngee.org/wp-login.php     <—– this link is to the login page

    If you have any questions about this procedure please contact us on info@nmbngee.org, or call Max.

  • Member Library Updates

    Additions to  the Member Library section

    The Co-operatives Act and Regulation legal mumbo jumbo is now under a heading called Government Legislation Applicable to Nmbngee.

    Also added under the Government Legislation Applicable to Nmbngee section is information about Residential Tenancy law, for anyone who wants to know about their obligations and rights when renting out their houses.  This information is also being used by the board to ensure the Co-operative is abiding by applicable law regarding the rental of site 5.

     

    Visual Site Map Added

    It’s now possible to browse the site visually with an expanded site map showing all available pages in one view. The site map is available at the top of the sidebar.


  • Mainhouse Roof Replacement Has Begun

    Thanks to the great work by Bob and Tuck, the Mainhouse is getting a new roof!  This will mean that no further water damage will occur and any internal work can be done without any further damage.
