Oldfield residents, I am writing this letter to bring to your attention to the current initiative called “Come Play at Oldfield”. This initiative offers 40 families and their friends to a free, three month trial membership, where they are able to enjoy all of our community amenities. During this three month period, all trial members have complete access to all that Oldfield has to offer without incurring any additional expense or making any indication of intent to purchase a home, membership or lot within our community.
As a community, we are in sound disagreement with this initiative and ask for it to be retracted.

Future Oldfield success will depend on our ability to, 1) sell and preserve the value of being an Oldfield member, and, 2) engage the developer(s) to honor obligations to sell critical mass of golf memberships and dues-paying lots to support economic viability and our private, membership model. It's all about the privilege of Oldfield membership.
I do not feel it is appropriate to offer free full amenity trial memberships for 3 months to non-residents when I as a resident of Oldfield have to pay $1700 for a limited membership for the same time period.
It's my understanding that only the Boards have the authority to make policy, and the management agent is tasked with carrying out that policy. The responsibility for this decision lies with the Boards, and disavowing knowledge is unacceptable and deceitful. Oldfield needs a real plan to bring back the value of the community and a marketing plan to sell that value to a qualified, targeted audience.
We pay a premium to live in an exclusive environment so this is unacceptable. I also have serious concerns about the security of my family if new policies are going to be enacted that allow people into our neighborhood who haven't been properly vetted.
I pay $7000 a year to enjoy these amenities. If you were going to allow others to have it for free then reduce my Fees three months.
After having attended the Club meeting last night, and having listened to all sides of this argument, we are withdrawing our names from this petition. We feel that this has been an important learning experience for everyone involved. Our elected Oldfield Board needs our support, talent, and help right now to move forward with all the many venues on their plate. The grievances in this petition pale in comparison with the issues that we, as a community must face, in this coming year. We are in our infancy and this is a time for support and unity. We sincerely hope that you will all join in this endeavor.
How does stuff like this happen with no input from the community? I have no trust in TI, Bald Eagle or anyone who has derived their living from those entities or their affiliated crony companies.
