By the time that you read
this a decision will have
been reached by the
directors of the RosslandTrail Country Club on the
fee structure for the
coming season. On Sunday
the Union Hotel meeting
room was filled to capacity
by retirees and in some
cases, their wives, who had
come to take part in the
discussion. Most felt the
new fees are unjust!
The fee proposals were
all spelled out to the club
directors, Jack Buchanan
and 1.eke Clements. The
one section that bothered us
the most was raising the
retiree couple rate by $114
to $544 or 26.5 per cenl The
retiree single was raised
11.7 per cent from $290 to
$324. In the five years since
1981 dues for these two
classes have been raised
75.9 per cent and 50 per
cent respectively.
We were told the club's
directors are worried about
the fact quite a number of
retiree couples use the
course on Saturday and
Sunday mornings when the
regular golders like to get
out there on their time off

from work.
Figures on membership
were posted on the board
showing 197 regular
singles, 70 regular couples,
25 family memberships,
137 retiree singles, 75
retiree couples, 20
restricted singles and one
restricted couple for a total
carded membership of 525.

Add to these 146 for the
second member in the
couples and a possible 100
more for the family tickets
and you come up with
about 800 playing members.
Now to another subject,
the B.C. Heart Fund.
Dorothy Gyte, chairperson
of the Rossland chapter

wished me to pass along
the following. Fund officials have designated this
Sunday for bingo at the
Legion in Rossland to boost
a canvass that will start
Feb. 14 and continue until
Feb. 28. Dorothy asked that
during this period people
leave their porch lights on
to assist the canvassers in

finding the way to your Spokane. But the Warriors
door and she says a have two toughies at home
heartfelt thank you for this against Nelson on Friday
and Trail on Saturday. 111's
little favor.
Now, to the Warriors for not an impossible task but
a moment. The team can it will take all the conhelp themselves this centration they c a n
weekend and should hope muster. One other thing to
for a help from the Rebels consider, Spokane's other
who play their final game game is against the Border
against the Flames in Bruins who won one of their
few victories this season at
the Flames' expense.
Our retiree curlers had;a
good time in Nelson on last
week's visitation but only
chalked up one winning
effort. It went to Angus
Popplewell's rink. Our next
visitation comes at Grand
Forks later in the waning

season.

'

And with that I'll say, nu

next time!
