"C" Colts, playing . with very few returning players from last year, and in a new league, open their 1977-78 season this weekend. The Colts travel to Mitchell on Friday night to battle the Red Devils, and then host the, Monkton club here at the Clinton arena on Sunday night at 8 p.m. The Colts, who folded this fall, were revived by a group of intermediate hockey supporters in town, but switched leagues .from the Ontario Hockey Association to the Western Ontario Athletic Association, and many of last year's Colts quit rather ti -an play in the WOAA. But Harvey Carter, along with several other interested hockey fans in town, revived the club last month, and they have been practicing at Vanastra. Not only were they suf- fering from lack of players at first, but they didn't book ice time at the Clinton Arena soon enough, and had to practice at Vanastra. They will play all their home games at Clinton, however. Paul Anstett is handling the managers reins, while John Leppington is treasurer. George Divok is looking after the coaching duties with assistance from Harvey Carter. Clinton snowmobile club picks new executive There was a small turnout Monday evening when the Clinton and District Snowmobile Club held their first meeting of the season at the agriculture office in town. The absence of members did not deter those present and Ray Potter noted that members tend to stay away on election night. Although only 10 men were present, less than half of the expected membership this winter, elections were held and new officers chosen. The executive for the 197 i- 78 season is: past president, • Ray Potter; president, Joe Gibson; vice president, Don Forrest; secretary -treasurer, Brian Gerig. President Gibson noted to the men, "I hope this isn't the end of the club. I hope we get some good trails to run on." Initial plans were made at the.meeting for Whipper's 4th Annual Snowarama which helps to support crippled children. The event, to be held on January 29 wilt be similar to last year's run with four clubs participating - Clinton, Hully Gully, Pineridge Chalet and Ailsa Craig. The Clinton club will have a 25 mile trail and each snowmobiles will collect a minimum amount of dollars in pledges in order to par- ticipate. With the permission of landowners, the club hopes to run their trail from con. 4 in Stanley township to the Maitland River and back to con. 2 in Stanley at the Bayfield River. The entire run will be 100 miles and Clinton will be putting up a quarter of it. Last year over $36,000 was raised for Timmy and the crippled children. The group' discussed the purchase of a groomer- to prepare the trail but no decision was made. The snowmobile. en- thusiasts will meet the'second Monday of each month at 8 p.m. in the agriculture of- fices..
