| SANDFORD-ON-THAMES COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTER |
| ISSUE 8 | JUNE |
A meeting of the Community Association is
to be held on Tuesday 31st May at 7pm. At this meeting it will be
proposed that the Association be dissolved. Instead consideration will
be given to forming a group who's aim will be to provide social
entertainment for those villagers who wish to be involved in such.
Unfortunately, insufficient support for the Summer Fair means that the
event will not take place this year. If you are interested in improving
the social aspects of the village or strongly object to the decision to
close down the Community Association then please come along to the
meeting.

GRASS CUTTING AND VILLAGE MAINTENANCE
The Parish Council has purchased a tractor mower and a strimmer and Mr. Tim James has volunteered to cut the grass in the recreation field and on the Wharf on a regular basis. We also plan to provide some seating on the Wharf and hope that villagers will make use of what we hope will be a pleasant area during the summer months.
Our thanks to Tim and his helpers.
