Be CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 1987—Page 9 r bottles for cash BAYFIELD Beer drinkers and baseball players here will delight in a new scheme that will see empty bottles turned in for cash in the latest fund raising effort by the recreation committee. This summer a beer bottle depot will be established in Bayfield as a way to raise money to help finance the new ball diamond work. The idea will.help to solve two problems. presently there is no bottle depot in Bayfield and empties must be taken to Brewer's Retail stores in Clinton or Goderich. Presently the recreation committee is $7,000 in the hole and this new fund raising concept is aimed to help bring in more money. . Recreation committee head Joan Cluff met with council on April 6 to ask permis- sion to establish the depot in the old town hall. Plans call for the depot to be open every Saturday in the summer months, and every other Saturday in the fall and winter months. The depot will be manned by three or four SEAFORTH SEBRINGVILLE SEAFORTH OPEN: Mon. -Fri. 8-12, 1-5:30 Saturday 8-12:30 SPRING SPECTACULAR Cash and Carry Only!

Bottles will be loaded onto the truck and transported to the nearby beer store. Mrs. Cluff promised council that the depot would not create an unsightly mess. She said that the Brewer's Retail people are willing to assist. Clerk Pat Graham added, "The Brewer's Retail is eager to help. They're desperate to get a depot centre here." Mrs. Cluff said that she hopes to receive volunteer help from members of the local baseball teams. She noted, "They're the people that want this ball diamond." Council members voiced some concern that they did not want to tie up the town hall on a long term basis as a beer depot. Coun- cillor Pat Muratori indicated that by the fall, feasibility studies may be undertaken regarding the future use of the town. Mrs. Cluff assured council that the depot could relocate if its use at the old town hall was no longer appropriate.
