Don Longwell, president off the newly formed Goderich Squash Club, is clearly pleased with the new club which he feels will be of benefit to interested residents. The group has received approval from the Goderich Recreation Board to set up a portable, fold up court in the Mini Com- munity Centre, rent free for the first year. The projected cost of installation and operation is estimated at $20,000 with approximately $7,500 coming from Win- tario. According to Longwell the court will be operational in September. He hopes to bring down the cost to the 20 individual members who have put up the money for the course by getting more people actively involved as members of the new club. Longwell is confident that enough people .. will take up membership to offset the large cost burden taken on by the 20 founding members. In a release, the club is hoping to attract at least 40 "founding members" which reduce the cost to •each individual substantially. ' - Founding members would receive a three year free membership, • for their financial .commitments, which would cover a one year free membership. for their children and spouses. There are also individual memberships available at a cost of $175 a year. A $3 user fee is also be- ing considered. • • However, the cost of membership is offset by the relatively inexpensive, equipment needed to participate :in squash. All that a player •needs is a racquet, a ball and one partner to play a game of squash. According to. • Longwell, squash is recommended as part of an individual's fitness program and offers sufficient exercise of the 'cardio -vascular system to make it well worthwhile. He explained that one 40 minute session of squash provides superb physical exercise as well as peing a thoroughly enjoyable. . • Recently released figures show that dedicated squash players can reduce the. risk of heart attack by approximately 40 COMING EVENTS July 5...Fitness Day International Friendship Marathon �c�)?'-r4��'"Tr:r� e ?MAR r<��j�C'y^FY�,'v�' fur. y,,,y,,t.(�' W •6 `. .j stl��,r Si:. .,MF16YM1 y 7..,ILra July 8...Mini Golf July, 9...Beach July 12,,.T -Ball & Baseball Tournament July 13...Trip of the Week -- Cherrydale Farms Contact.

Vanastra Centre in need of financial support BY KRIS SVELA Representatives for the Vanastra Recreation Centre met with the Goderich Recreation Boardin an attempt to raise money, to help the centre pay its projected operation cost deficit of approximately $40,000 for 1982. .0 Jack McLauchlan, treasurer for Tuckersmith Township, told the board that approximately six per cent of the registered users of, the Vanastra centre were from Goderich and that because of this the Recreation Board should help offset the deficit through a cost sharing arrangement.
