BBRA members are fortunate to have so much work done on their behalf on a pro bono basis by members of the BBRA Committee. At the same time administrative costs are on an ever-rising trajectory and this applies perhaps in particular to the operation of the Bettys Bay Neighbourhood Watch (BBNW).

In order to promote sustainability of these services which are of fundamental importance to all Betty’s Bay residents and ratepayers, it is proposed that annual membership fees should be raised from R60-00 to R75-00 per person per year.This should enable the committee to focus on their essential administrative/managerial functions without having to spend undue time on fund-raising especially in the context of the operation of the BBNW.

Should this proposal be accepted it will require a change to the constitution paragraph 7(a) which is also placed on the agenda for possible consideration.
