Intended for last week,
The Wingham Figure Skating
Club held its annual meeting re-
cently with a poor representation
of interested parents.
Reports Showed a good member-
ship, several club •activities and a
splendid percentage of passed tests.
The financial report disclosed that
$60.81 more iwas spent than reeeived
with outstanding account of
$18.42, to be met.
It was decided to discontinue giv_
.• ing crests to members but, to make
them available at an approximate
cost of 75c to members,
• The largest item of expense is the
Cost of 'professionals. Everyone
present felt that Harold Brooks
was completely capable of teaching
those in the lower groups. but that
many of the skaters have reached
levels beyond his studies, thus •malt_
ing it necessary to have -the second
professional. Whether one could be
secured for less time and, there-
fore less cost, limiting his activities
to the senior students was dis-
cussed.
There were three skaters who
pas'sed the bronze dance tests and
will receive their medals. Perhaps
this will have to be discontinued'
in future due to cost.
Mrs. E. Hamilton presented the
nominating committee's report and
the president asked for nomina-
tions from the floor. 'There were
none, and the full slate was de-
clared elected.
A very healthy discussion of var-
ious phases of figure skating was
held.
The meeting adjourned and the
directors met to decide the offices
to be held by each, with the follow-
ing results:
• Past president, N. Welwood;
president, John Strong;• vice. W. W.
Gurney; treasurer; Mrs. H. Wild;
secretary, Mrs, H. Burrell ; costume,
Mrs, Rosenhagen; arena supervis-
ion, Mrs. M. Willie; phoning, Mrs:
H. Spry; magazine subscriptions,
Mrs. C. Burke; CFSA. counsellor,
N. Welwood-; test chairman and
assistant, Mrs. Burrell and Mrs.
Day.
• Men's Town League
Semi-final results: Burke Elec-
tric, first, 941; second, 946; third,
904; total, 2791.
CKNX, first, 1112; second; '954;
third, 908; total, 2974,
Next Monday night is the big
night for the Men's League. The
CKNX team, by defeating Burkes,
will he up against the Hydro team
to decide the 60-61 league champs.
Norm Elliott of Burkes was the
big gun for the night with a 257
single and a 701 triple. Norm
couldn't get the necessary support
and CKNX, led by Hap Swatridge
with a 664 triple, were able to win
-all three games. •
Now that CKNX have won, I
wonder if we will have television
coverage of next week's bout? Per-
haps Hydro would sponsor it.
