The Board accepted a proposal made Monday night by Exeter Tennis C100 president Bill Dinney that the club become an ex, tension of the Recreation department. Dinney said that many people thought of the Tennis Club as an elite group and they resented the Club's monopoly of the courts.. And they didn't want to pay fees. to- the private organization. He feels people will be more willing to pay fees to the Recreation Board. The terms of the agreement are that the Exeter Tennis. Club will have control over the management of the courts, looking after such things as" scheduling reserved time, membership fees, lessons, and maintenance, The Recreation Board will be responsible for insurance, garbage collection and paying tennis instructors. All money from membership fees will be used for court maintenance. Dinney said that no one should expect to use the facilities and not have to pay for their maintenance. Recreation director Ian Smith said that the system was really unfair before. because the courts were maintained by the private. funds of the Tennis. Club, but everyone used the courts. Exeter rep. Don Cameron said that an honer system will have to be used for the payment of membership fees,. But he added, "There will always be a certain portion who won't pay." Membership fees are $25 for families, $20 for couples, $12 for students, and a new rate of $5 for children under 12 years' of age. Cameron Hawks lose first r me Thanks a combination of their initial loss of the season and a tie by Hensall, the Hawks for the first time this season are not leading the Exeter and area men's rec fastball league. In the big game of the week the Hurondale "Green Machine" edged the first year club in a slugfest 18-17 Monday. As a result of their fourth win of the season Hurondale pulled into a fifth place tie with McKnights and Gords. Also on Monday, I McKnights and Hensall played to 5-5 tie in Hensall which gave them their one point edge over the Hawks in the standings. On the season Hensall has picked up 13 points based on six wins and the tie. Jumping up to third place was Mt. Carmel who edged the defending league champs, the Crescent Rolls 6-5. The Rolls are in fourth spot with a record of four wins and a tie. Picking up their second win of the season was Dash- wood Industries with a 9-8 win over the Carpetbaggers. The Baggers hold down last spot in the league with 'their single win while DIL and Usborne have two victories apiece. , In Wednesday's action Herman trounced Gords 12-3, Mt. Carmel edged the Carpet baggers 7-6 and McKnights dumped Usborne 2012 ADAms said that the fees were small for those who were really interested in playing tennis, The, tennis courts will now remain Open for use throughout the day, Money said that locking the gates was driving a lot of people away. Also at their meeting Monday night, the Board approved the hiring of Liz Scott, Brenda Pinder and Brenda Pincombe, for summer program of special activities, The program, which is being co-sponsored by Experience '80, begins on July' 7 and lasts for six weeks. It is for children ages six to fourteen and includes such activities as arts and crafts, drama and bus trips. Smith said that the program is not only a town project but is for local areas too. Mel Gaiser from the Geiser Kneale Insurance agency and Dave Reed from the Frank Cowan Insurance Company reviewed the Board's insurance coverage. There was some discussion about the accident coverage for groups using the rec facilities. The Board was especially concerned about activities such as wedding receptions where the group wouldn't have its own in- surance policy. Reed advised that it may be a good idea to have groups using the rec facilities provide the Board with a certificate of insurance. But this proposal was discarded because it would probably restrict the use of the facilities. It was decided that the cover letter which groups must sign, freeing the Board from responsibility for ac- cidents, was sufficient. But the Board did decide to add an insurance coverage against accidents for Board members who weren't already covered on the Exeter council. Board chairman Howard Pym said, "None of us get 'paid for sitting around the table, so - we need something to insure us against possible ac- cidents." The Board is looking into offering an extra night each week for roller skating for children after school is finished. Currently on Saturdayafternoonsthere is a special rate of 75 cents for children instead of the regular rate of $1.00. ThelBoard is also looking into the cost of providing wall dividers for the hall. Cameron said that theliall is too big for most functions and dividing it would in- crease its renting potential. Exeter rep Jerry MacLean suggested that the Board make the dividers them- selves. Exeter rep Wayne Pearce pointed out a potential sound problem if dividers were installed. The financial report shows that the Board is almost $2,500 behind in its revenues. Smith said that this was a slow time of the year but that business should pick up in the next couple of months. Cameron brought up the problem of revenue losses due to booking cancellations for the rec hall. He suggested that the Board should have alternate plans for the use of the facility in case of can- cellations. But Smith said, "It's better to have nothing than lose $100."
