Hensall citizens have their
new Community Centre,
thanks to all who par
ticipated in the fund raising
efforts and now the
Recreation committee is
looking towards other needs.
In March, the Hensall
Recreation Ball Committee
was formed, consisting of
Andy Imanse, fund raising
chairman, Roy Bell con
struction chairman, Kay
Gardner, secretary, Tom
Neilands, treasurer, Brian
Campbell, Dave Smale, Bill
Smith, Charlie Dalrymple
and Bill Soldan. The com
mittee investigated to find
out how much interest there
was in recreation ball and it
was found that there were
many groups interested,
these being boys and girls,
mens and ladies recreation
teams.
It was deciced that a new
ball diamond would have to
be built because the old
diamond was destroyed by
water main and sewer
construction and the location
of the new arena. The old
lighting system has
deteriorated from old age so
new lights are needed. ( It
should be noted that Hensall
bad the first lighted ball
diamond in Huron County.)
A fund raising sub
committee was formed to
raise funds and a con
struction sub-committee was
formed to locate and build
the new diamond.
After meeting with the
Hensall Parks Board, the
latter decided they would
match any funds raised by
donations and that ap
plication would be made to
Wintario, (Ministry of
Culture and Recreation) for
funds. It was found that
capital expenditure from
Wintario had been stopped
but because of the en
thusiasm of interested ball
groups it was decided to
carry on without Wintario
support.
The construction com
mittee investigated the
location of the new diamond
and with the approval of the
Parks Board decided that it
would be located in the
north-west corner of the
Park directly behind the
Arena. The reason this
location was chosen was that
further construction of
utilities would not interfere
with the diamond, and the
diamond would be more
BALL FUND MEMBERS — This group of Hensall residents has been working many hours for the past four months in order to
build a new ball diamond in Hensall. Members of the ball diamond committee are (back) Bill Soldan, Andy Imanse and Dave
Smale. In the front are Bill Smith, Spike Bell, Charlie Dalrymple, Kay Gardner and Tom Neilands. T-A photo
accessible to parking,
washrooms facilities and to
the pavilion area. Also this
location would least in
terfere with other uses of the
Park.
The diamond is estimated
to cost $9,500.00 This includes
excavation costs for the
infield and backfilling with
suitable fill; six 48 foot
towers with two 1,000 watt
light fixtures on each tower
with all associated electrical
wiring, also suitable ben
ches, bleachers and
backstop. All labour is being
volunteered by local ball
enthusiasts.
The fund raising com
mittee has canvassed local
businesses and service
groups and to date has raised
approximately $2,000.00.
This canvass is still being
carried out and there is a
door to door canvass of the
public and other fund raising
events being considered for
the future.
Construction chairman
Roy Bell says the diamond
will be ready for use for the
upcoming ball season.
