SANSON COMMUNITY HALL
Users will note we have had the eight easy chairs in the supper
-room recovered by Kelvin Hazelgrove of Feilding Upholstery and
what a wonderful job he has done. We warmly recommend his work
to anyone considering resurrecting old lounge suites, easy chairs
etc. Further improvements have been the installation of fluorescent
lights in the kitchen area. Thanks are due to Matt Ryan for this
work If you are wishing to hire the hall for your forth coming
function contact Del 329 3674 Individual quotes given.
FOXTON SPRING FLING
This Saturday in Foxton's main street from 9am to 3pm. Market
stalls, car displays, performing miniature ponies and dogs plus
street parade starting at 2pm. Join in the carnival atmosphere!
SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
At our last meeting we discussed the answers we received to our
submissions to the Council's Annual Plan. It seems that we are
no closer to getting Fagan St from Dundas Rd, to the school widened
so we will just have to keep niggling, Our request to have that
portion of our rates that goes to the Makino Pool diverted to
our pool was rejected but at least we have given them our thoughts
on the unfairness of the rating system. We have been told that
the walking track will be finished this summer so there was some
good news. One of our residents complained about rats on her property
and she had contacted Horizons about this. Rats have always been
a problem to those of us who live close to the stream. Councillor
Giles told us of rat poisons that can be obtained from Amey's
in Rongotea that can be stapled to a post thereby preventing rats
from taking them away and storing them. Our next meeting will
be in the Library on Wednesday September 23rd at 7 30pm. All Welcome.
SANSON COMMUNITY LIBRARY
Where are all our readers? While we have dozens of subscribers
enrolled we only see just a few of them. Thank you to those of
you who came to help with our book change. We will have a holiday
programme for the children in the second week of the school holidays
but more about that next month.
SANSON SUNDAY MARKET
The committee has made its first distribution of funds to local
organizations. The Play Centre will receive money to complete
their roof repairs, the Swimming Pool will be able to do pump
repairs and their grant will go towards repairing and painting
the pool. The final grant is for the Bulls Fire Brigade to install
smoke alarms in all residential properties in our village. Thank
you for supporting the market! Recently I have been a bit more
sociable than usual thanks to Bulls Rotary who organized a bus
trip to see Miss Saigon at the Regent Theatre. This was a wonderful
show and those of us who availed ourselves of the offer greatly
appreciated the chance to go and see this very professional show.
Thanks to the bus diver Bryce Tamblyn who contacted me about the
show. And on Friday night I went along to the Sanson Club's mid
winter Christmas Dinner. It certainly beats cooking one's own
dinner and eating on one's own. A most enjoyable evening! Thank
you Sanson Club for the invitation!
DOGS!!!
There has been a complaint about all the dog excrement at the
Rec. It is a dog exercise area but that does not mean that owners
should not take responsibility for their animals crap. Please
take it away with you. And if you are the owner of the pitbull
dog that attacked another dog last week and was impounded by the
dog ranger shame on you! This dog had no identification and should
not have been allowed to roam at will. If it had been a child
that it attacked it could have been a real catastrophe! Recently
a resident complained to me that someone had contacted the S.P.C.A.
about her animals. The inspector who visited gave her the thumbs
up and was quite satisfied with the conditions. This was a waste
of the S.P.C.A.'s resources. If you are unhappy with a neighbour
why not just talk to them instead? RECYCLING
CENTRE
Not again you say? This time I will give you the opening hours
of the Bulls dump and please take your rubbish there. Do not leave
it at the Centre!!! The transfer station is in Watson St. and
the hours are Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7 30am to 11 30am,
Saturday 8am to 3pm and Sunday 9 30am to 4 30pm so there is no
excuse! LOST BIRD. A male galah has escaped from its home and
its mate is fretting. If by chance you have found it or maybe
you have a male galah to sell please contact Kim on phone 3293432
