ANNUAL MEETING:
A well-attended Sandal Community Association AGM heard chairperson Gail

seen the launch of the gardening club. A number of events are planned
for the next 12 months, including wine and cheese evenings, charity
coffee mornings, afternoon tea dances and a ceildh. There will again be
one of the popular annual social events that follow the Christmas tree
lights switch-on at the end of November and this year there will be a
special guest in the form of Santa Claus. The meeting, held at Sandal
