Residential houses
An Action Group of voluntary residents plan and conduct the house functions. The members of the Action Group are elected through representative meetings and elect other residents of the area, who are interested in developing the functions in the area. The Arabia Service Ltd’s responsibility is the construction, upkeep and maintenance of the communal club premises. The functions organized in the Kääntöpaikka and later in Bokvilla are financed by course payments and rents.
