SANSON SCHOOL
NEWS
The swimming pool is currently being readied for the summer season
and if you wish to obtain a season pass contact the school office
on 3293786. As in past years casual passes will be available from
Del 3293674. In past seasons there has been a lot of bad behaviour
by youngsters and we ask parents to make sure they are supervised
at all times. Failure to observe the rules could mean confiscation
of the pass. This year is slipping away so fast that I had not
realized that Ag and Craft Day was once more upon us and this
was held on Thursday October 30th and I apologise to the school
for not mentioning it in the last newsletter. I hear that there
were not as many calves and lambs as in past years but the children's
craft is always worth a look. Many past pupils will remember Mr.
Ron McCullough who passed away suddenly last week. Ron was the
principal of Sanson School at the time of the big shift from the
old school to its present site. He will be sorely missed by his
many friends.
SANSON CLUB
All residents are welcome to come along to the club on Tuesday
4th November for the running of the Melbourne Cup. The club will
be open from 2pm.
There will be quickfire $2 and $5 sweeps. Don't forget to bring
your best hat as there will be a competition for the best hat
for both the ladies and the gents. Hot toasted sandwiches will
be on the menu. This is always a fun day so be there!
SANSON WOMEN'S
INSTITUTE
Congratulations to these ladies who are celebrating the 80th birthday
of their organization on Tuesday 4th November. The Institute is
always keen to have more members and if you are interested they
meet on the first Tuesday of each month in the supper room of
the Community Hall at 1 30pm.
BASKETBALL
Diane invites you to come along on Wednesday evenings at 6 pm
for friendly basketball in the Community Hall. We commend Diane
for providing this activity for all ages and not necessarily just
the youth of the village. Good way to burn off some of that energy
and calories at the same time. Admission a gold coin.
For all hall bookings phone Del on 3293674. Individual

SANSON COMMUNITY
LIBRARY
What fun we had with the holiday programme and thanks to the mothers
who came along to help Suzanne, Maureen and me. We know that one
grandmother was delighted with the laminated place mat that her
granddaughter made her for her birthday. Once again the weather
has not been great but the Library is always warm and welcoming.
We are pleased to enroll a few more borrowers but we once again
implore those of you who have overdue books to please return them!
Thank you to those who came and helped us with our book change.
We have one more change just prior to Christmas. Remember our
photo-copying service 10c per A4 sheet and 20c per A3 sheet. Laminating
50 c per A 4 sheet. You won't get it cheaper anywhere else!
Library Hours.
Monday and Thursday 10am to midday. Tuesday and Friday 2pm to
4pm
Saturday 11am to 1pm.
SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
At our last meeting we discussed engine braking, lanes, drains,
the walking track, spraying etc. and sometimes I think nothing
changes. We co-opted two new members on to the committee. On Sunday
November 2nd the responsibility for the Sunday Market will be
the committee's and this has been a learning curve for us. The
item in the Herald was not correct when it said that the Council
had taken on the market. We have and profits will go back into
the community. We are very interested to see what plans the M.D.C.
have for the hotel building and will keep you informed of future
developments.
Next meeting of the committee will be held in the Library on Wednesday
26th November at 7 30 pm.
SANSON NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT
Please keep a look out for suspicious vehicles cruising the back
streets. There have been some unsavoury characters about and if
anything causes you unease please call the police. We have heard
of petrol siphoning once again. If your dog barks at night why
not investigate the reason? If you wish to form a neighbourhood
support group in your area just call Allan Muntz on phone 3237386
SANSON ARCHIVES.
Keep those photos and newspaper clippings rolling in! We have
received cuttings of events of long ago which we had long since
forgotten about. We intend to eventually have them on display
possibly at the Library.
TRIVIA!
I recently had the good fortune to travel to Auckland on a coach
trip to see Phantom of the Opera and would love to go again. If
you have not seen it and have the chance to go, do go. The only
problem is that now I can't get the music out of my head!
