The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1965-12-23, Page 8umununuintuminiumuinumulumununnumumounnunnuinnunimiumillunnottnnumn , Last weekend's snowfall, while reminding ev- eryone that Christmas is here, also perked up the area's winter sports enthusiasts who have been pa- tiently waiting to get into action. Local skiers and tobogganists now have their snow and a great many people will be making their way to their favourite hills over the holiday season, While there are a few adequate skiing hills around town most of the skiers head for the Grand Bend area where the Pinery Provincial Park and Walker Woods provide fine facilities for every kind of winter sport enthusiast. The Pinery Provincial Park just south of Grand Bend is one of the most popular spots this time of year. The park will operate two main ski. hills and one hill for beginners this year and will also have four toboggan runs and an outdoor skat- ing rink. The 135 x 75 foot rink is open every day and is the perfect thing for a skating party. Besides the various hills the Pinery Park boasts a Chalet which is equipped with its own first aid room to look after any accident victims. A Poma- Lift is also provided to make the long trip back up the hill enjoyable. Vehicle permits are required to enter the Provincial Park with a yearly permit costing $5.00. Daily permits cost S1.00 while tow charges are 500 per day per person. FIGURE SKATING CLUB Membership in the Exeter Figure Skating Club is up this year and club officials are looking for one of their best seasons ever. The club which has a membership of 90 skaters this season meets every Monday at the Exeter Arena to practise for their annual carnival and skating tests. The club has gained about 20 more members than last year and instructress Mrs. Faye MacDonald of Walton is working with the youngsters in prep- aration for their annual carnival which will be staged on February 19. The theme of this year's carnival is "Holiday on Ice" and the event is being held earlier than in previous years in order to give the skaters more time to practise for their skating test which will be tried towards the end of the season, In addition to the carnival and upcoming test the club will hold a Competition Day later on in the season to judge the best skaters in each age group. MINOR HOCKEY TOURNAMENTS With the tittiday season upon us again there will be a couple of minor hockey tournaments as well as extra skating sessions for holidaying students. Public school students skated from 4 to 5 on Tues- days and Thursdays when school was in session but Arena Manager Alvin Willert has increased the skat- ing times from 2 to 4 on the same days. Christmas holidays also mean hockey tourna- ments and both the Exeter Pee Wees and Bantams will be playing in tourneys over the holidays. On Boxing Day Lorne Haugh and Lyle Riddell will take the bantam club to the Treasure Island Gardens in London to play in the London Suburban Hockey Tournament. The locals have not received word as yet as to who they will play but their first game is scheduled for 2:00 o'clock. The local pee wees, under the direction of Terry Bourne and Jim Brown, will compete in the annual Leamington tournament on December 28. The Exeter squad will meet Blenheim in a 9:00 o'clock contest. Because both Christmas and New Year's fall on Saturday the regular Saturday morning minor hockey houseleague games will be played on the previous Fridays. RUSTLINGS — In addition to extra skating time there will be more practise time for local minor hockey teams during the holidays . . The Exeter Junior Hawks really stood out in their new uniforms last Friday night.
