History of the Sandy Point Newsletter

The very first Sandy Point Newsletter, called β€œNews Waves” was produced in March 1989. It was an A4 sheet of paper folded in two and handwritten on both sides, then photocopied and given away free to the about 80 permanent residents who lived then in Sandy Point.

The first page is reproduced below, or you can download the entire first handwritten newsletter.

It was the brainwave of and produced by Jude O’Sullivan and Sue Allen and is full of gossip, a funny quiz, as well as news of the many social activities coming up (even the monthly community group meetings were social events) and birthday congratulations and condolences.

Apparently Jude and Sue only produced this for a few editions and it was eventually replaced by a typed newsletter.

The current form of the newsletter, the Sandy Point News was started in Dec 2011 and was numbered Vol 11, Issue 3. Congratulations to all the people involved in the production over the years, including Trish Beckhurst, Wendy White, Joyce Crawford, Di Cooper, Sally Gibson and Di Cornwell.
