All donations are not in yet. Scorekeepers at the front are Dora Rood, and Lia Vandenberk, while bowlers Grada Vlemmix, Toni Vandenberk, Mary Mom- mersteeg and (hiding) Francine Smits wait their turn to bowl. Wetbike owners get approval for operation Members of the Grand Bend Har- bour committee recommended ap- proval to rent wetbikes for the new harbour this coming season. B. Collins and R. Murray, from Waterloo, presented their proposal to the harbour committee at their meeting. They explained that this wetbike is a much better bike for the water and is a quiet machine. The bike automatically quits if the person happens to fall off. Five feet of water is needed to operate the bikes. The delegation was told that they would need $2 million liability in- surance with the village, and a seasonal launch permit of $100.00 for a commercial business would be needed. The transient trader fee will be $300.00. These five wetbikes will be operating from the Pier Booth, at a charge of $20.00 for half an hour. The machines will be governed to do 20 mph. Collins and Murray hope to eventually have a shop in Grand Bend. The interviews for the summer staff have not been completed yet. An approval for Challenge '86 grant has not been received. Employee from last year, Dave Gill attended this meeting and was instructed to post six "slow signs" along the river south of the cruising club. Correspondence from Mrs. Thelma Waldron, re- gtlesting the signs, prompted the meeting. Another sign will be posted on Highway 21 as well. The new launch ramp sign will be erected in the near future, in order that highway boaters will know where the launch,ramp is located. The 1986 dockage and launch ramp rates are: 40t per foot for (transient) dockage, which includes hydro and water; with the launch ramp daily rate set at $4.00, residential at $50.00, and the commercial seasonal rate at $100.00.
