SANDFORD LINK
You may find this months Sandford Link very sparse in news and information.
The reason for this being that I took over the editorship at a late stage
in the month.
My hopes for the Sandford Link during the coming months will be to inform
you of all activities taking place in the village, i.e. Youth Club,
Toddlers Group, Keep Fit, Bingo etc. Also monthly notes on Parish Council
meetings, plus a few notes: from PC Dell the Community Police Officer; and
possibly notes from Councillor Nikki King, on points of local interest
raised at District Council level.
My wishes are to have the children more involved with the Sandford Link,
therefore, I will be asking the children to send along any of their jokes
or poems and I will pay £1 for the best one printed in the months issue.
Maybe some of you ladies in the village would like to send along a simple
recipe that we can print each month.
Finally, I have decided that no letters of a political nature will be
printed in the Sandford Link or political comments made. However,
controversial points of view will be printed, but these will be strictly
of a village nature.
Please let me have all your letters by the 20th of each month. My home
address and telephone number will be on the back page of the Sandford Link.
If you would like any news items collected from your house, please phone
me, I am only too willing to collect them.

***** ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH NOTES *****
The annual Spring Bazaar, which took place just before Easter, raised a
total of £162.58. This was slightly down on the 1982 total of £175.00, but
in view of the comparatively poor attendance, it shows that those who did
come and support us gave very generously. All societies and organisations
have to have money to keep going and, unfortunately, the church is no
exception. In these days, if a Church cannot pay its way, it is in danger
of being made redundant and close, and if that happened here all Baptisms,
Weddings etc. would have to take place at Littlemore or further afield.
There are two further opportunities for Sandford people to support their
Church during the Summer months, the first is the Annual Fete, which has
been fixed for Saturday 25th June. Weather permitting, this will be in both
the Village Hall and the Recreation ground and will include the usual stalls
and sideshows. The second is the Flower Festival in the Church on the same
day as the Summer Fayre, namely, Saturday 13th August - so you will all
please make a note of these two dates and give us all the help you can. At
last year's Flower Festival the Church was most beautifully decorated and
everything was greatly admired by our many visitors on that occasion. It
is well worth a visit.

We are still in need of more choristers and would welcome two or three
