LEASEHOLDER INFORMATION NOTICE The Corby Leaseholder Association Open Seminar scheduled to take place on Tuesday 26th January 2010 was cancelled due to the committee unfortunately arranging a meeting on the same day with the Leasehold Advisory Service, which is otherwise known as LEASE. Members of the committee were present at a regional seminar that was held by the East Midlands Tenant Participation Forum on 26th November 2009 at the PERA Innovation Park in Melton Mowbray. They attended two interesting workshops that were delivered by LEASE and as a result the committee arranged to have a meeting to be given some free advice on leasehold issues that affect leaseholders. You may recall that LEASE is an independent advice agency staffed by officers with legal training which is funded by the Government to give free advice on the law affecting residential leasehold and commonhold property. Hopefully the committee will be able to arrange for a representative from LEASE to attend the next Corby Leaseholder Association Open Seminar which will take place on Monday 10th May 2010. Watch out for further details in the next edition of ‘talkback’ In preparation for Corby Borough Council being able to implement its Choice Based Lettings Scheme in 2010 the Council’s housing allocation policy has been reviewed and agreed.

New Age Kurling Takes Off In Corby New Age Kurling has been a regular sports activity for the last few months at both Sykes Court and Wollongong House who played against each other just before Christmas. The Supported Housing Team would like to get more matches going and perhaps even start up a league. The equipment was kindly provided for the tenants through the Sports Development Team, so a big thanks to them. It has been adapted from the original curling game so that it can be played indoors on any hard flat surface. It is suitable for all abilities and can even be played sitting down. It gets you moving and is great fun and we have also seen people get very competitive! Corby Housing Newsletter Winter 2009 - Kye Bishop, Physical Activity Leader at the Council says “A massive well done to the Supported Housing Team and especially Support Worker Ava Ross for getting this organised. It was fantastic to see two different courts coming together, enjoying themselves and taking part in sport. May there be many more matches to come!” FREE KIT If you or your friends in the supported housing complexes or grouped bungalows would like to hire the kit for FREE and have a game alongside members of the Supported Housing Team - then please call the Control Centre on 01536 400088 to check availability.
