ho . ® % "aa a ® Bid filed to host National Womens Fastball finals | The Scugog Angels Fastball Club is making a bid to host the 1995 Canadian Womens championship in Port Perry. Angels general manager Don Hurst said an initial bid to the Ontario Softball Assoc. was filed last week arid he expetts to find out this fall if Softball Canada accepts the Port Perry proposal for 1995, "We (the Angels organization) felt it would be nice to hold the Nationals in a small community like Port Perry where we know there would be plenty of interest and support," he told the Citizen last week. And since the Scugog Angels would get an automatic berth in the championship as host club, it would be a great incentive for the team. And he said the Nationals in 1996 will serve as a "springboard" for the selection of the Canadian Women's team to compete in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta where fastball will be medal sport for the first time. Last week, Mr. Hurst and newly appointed Angels coach Rick Finley met informally with Ed = Glibbery of Scarborough who has put together two tional tour ts to get some ideas and information on what's involved. Mr. Finley, now a Port Perry resident and formerly from Pickering has coached teams in the National finals on 12 different occasions. Bill Dowson, president of 'the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, attended the informal meeting last week and said Chamber would gladly support the bid and the tournament if it was awarded ". "Absolutely, this would bring a lot of visitors to Port Perry. "We (the Chamber) would encourage this," he said. +The tournament lasts a week . (Monday to Sunday) and brings together the best Senior Womens Fastball'teams from every province. It would require a huge amount of work, said Mr. Hurst for such things as transportation from the airport and from mbtels to the games, along with a banquet for all' the players and officials. He's confident that if the Port Perry bid is accepted by Softball Canada, the tournament would would get * solid | supper from local groups.
