SANSON SNIPPETS
This month's Snippets comes to you courtesy of
Owen Dagg who is the rural sales consultant in the Sanson, Rongotea
area for J.P.Morgan Real Estate. At present there is a very buoyant
market for farms, lifestyle and houses with a high buyer enquiry
and properties achieving top prices.
Whether buying or selling just give Owen a call
on 323-2601 or mobile 025-498-7071
Owen wishes all our readers a very HAPPY CHRISTMAS
and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
SANSON TRAMWAY COMMEMORATION PLAQUE
The weather was very kind to us on Tuesday when
our mayor Mr. Ian McKelvie unveiled the plaque outside the Classic
Cars building. Sadly, Peter Sparrow was unable to attend which
was a pity as it was always his project. It was good to see in
the crowd of about 100 people George Williams, Lois and Mildred,
the daughters of Jack Currie who drove the tram for 28 years also
another lady whose name I cannot recall whose father was also
a tram driver. The two junior classes from Sanson School also
attended and gave me a sheaf of questions to answer which really
taxed my ingenuity. Who knows what is the difference between a
tram and a train? I have an answer but whether I am right or not
is doubtful! After the unveiling we went over to the hotel for
afternoon tea where Bev and Kenneth made us welcome and what a
good time those elderly residents had. Usually get togethers like
this only happen after funerals. My only regret is that I didn't
take a book for everyone present to sign.
Photos from the ceremony have been posted on
Dave Pickles website www.sanson.net.nz.
Just click on the thumbnail of the plaque and
they will come up.
SANSON COMMUNITY and SCHOOL SWIMMING POOL

The OLDIES BUS TRIP
Bulls Rotary once again put on a bus trip for
the oldies during November. Those of us who were lucky enough
to go enjoyed a wonderful day out at Crosshills Rhododendron Garden.
The weather was perfect and the garden beautiful and we thank
them for inviting us along.
(We also enjoyed a very nice lunch)
COMMISERATIONS
Several of our residents have had stays in hospital
recently and we wish Roy Absalom, Carol Swan and Reg Johnson all
the best and also to any one else who is finding life a struggle
health wise. We have been encouraged by the help offered to our
elderly who may be having trouble with transport. Shirley and
I attended a Community Outcomes meeting recently and put forward
our case for the same help to be available here in Sanson as is
able to be accessed in Feilding and Palmerston North. We applaud
the efforts of three members of our community who so generously
give up their time to take older residents shopping or to Dr's
apointments
MESSAGE FROM JOAN RICHARDS.
Hi there! I just thought I'd like to say that
in a way I'm sorry to be leaving Sanson but felt it was time to
move on.This "Country Gal" wants to be a "City
Slicker"and to hit the high spots! Watch the papers!
Our family has spent 43 happy years in sunny
Sanson joining organizations, forming many friendships with the
town folk and at the old Manawatu County Council events.
You'll see or hear from me in Sanson now and
then.
Cheerio from Joan Richards.

SANSON PLAY CENTRE
The staff at the Play Centre were very disturbed
at the wanton vandalism at the Centre. They tend to think that
girls may have been responsible but that evidence may only be
a smokescreen. Once again with the long evenings and the summer
holidays looming we urge parents to know where the young ones
are and what they are up to. We are aware that there is not much
for youngsters to do in the village but downright destructiveness
is very discouraging for those who work hard for the facilities
that we have.
DOGS!!!!
Please,dog owners keep your dogs on your own
property and make sure that they are tied up at night. One night
recently a dog or dogs went on the rampage and killed one mother
duck and her five ducklings. In another pen of six-week old ducklings
three were killed and two are missing. This is very upsetting
to their owner who regards these ducks as her family.How would
you feel if they belonged to you?
SANSON CLUB
The annual Christmas Party this year is to be
held on the 10th December. The Children's party starts at 3 p.m.
and parents are asked to bring a named present for their child
to the value of no more than $5 which Father Christmas will be
handing out. This party is open to the wider community and all
are welcome to come along ad join in the fun!
Well, this has been a great year for our community
with new homes being built and new residents who we hope are being
made welcome. The demise of Bamboo and Teak has meant that shortly
we will have a new business on those premises and the activity
across the road has created interest about the new business which
will soon be up and running. The Reeves residence has been shifted
round to Grace St.
Finally the team who produce the Snippets wish
to thank you all for your support financially and other wise this
year and wish you all a very Happy Christmas.
We will be back in February.
