GEORGETOWN HONDA MUST SOLDSALE S Che HERALD ports I and and Recreation For 30 Years We Have Delivered SECTION Wednesday May IB Page I May 19 date cancelled GMHA loses bingo ByPAULSVOBODA Herald Sporti Editor There will be no GMHA Monster Bingo tomorrow night at the Arena and Wayne Pries is not happy about the situation The financially strapped had originally scheduled the Monster event for May 19 but round out just last Wednesday that their plans would have to be shelved The association had planned to offer a total of HO in prizes with a grand prize of S3 According to Pries past president of the GMHA the association was in formed last week that only one Monster Bingo may be held over a threeweek period within a radius of 50 miles Apparently a Monster event had already been scheduled for on June 3 It a dirty rotten deal said Pries on Monday Apparently com mercia bingo operators complained about other groups holding Monster Bingos and now the ministry Ministry of Consumer and Com Relations sanctions only one a month thin a mile But according to Pries fie GMHA also learned that a second Monster Bingo is being staged on June li at Copps Coliseum In Hamilton That bingo Is apparently being staged by the Hamilton Rotary for Polio Plus and will offer upwards of two In prizes Pries said the approval of the Hamilton event would mean there are two Monster scheduled Cor June within a 50mile radius of each other That shoots down the theory he said According to Pries the ministry was not aware of the Hamilton event The ministry said they l aware of the one at Copp and they said they were going to check It out he said Pries said the GMHA also learned that a bingo operation in coke has apparently booked one Monster Bingo a month for the entire sum mer They tied up all the to and Hamilton areas he said Pries the prepared lis application for a Monster Bingo the approval of the Town The Association was apparently told Its application was in order and that receiving approval was lust a formality said Pries There was no Indication t be approved The GMHA may have wasted time by not submitting Its tion for approval sooner said Pries That was probably an error on our part he stated We rushed it through But still not convinced of the fairness of the ministry ruling Why is It the ministry to ensure the commercial operators a profit From what I understand com- plaints come from commercial bingo operators who said onetime Monster Bingos were hurting their operations said We have no mention of competing at that level Pries sa the restriction In ef feci limits the of small town operations such as nor hockey to make money It unfortunate We were looking at the range he continued The problem is that we are in the hole Commercial operators can run Monster and we II have to start applying for 1990 Pries said the had hoped to operate the event this month after enjoying success with a previous one last year The restriction will force he association to abide by a maximum prize celling approved by the Town for its next potential bingo We wouldn t need ministry approval for that explained Pries But it t have same at traction Meanwhile Halton North MPP Walt Elliot told The Herald on Mon day that a restriction limiting Monster to one every three weeks a rod us was Indeed mposed by the M of Con ana Commercial Relations but he sure f the ruling was written In stone The guidelines arc in place to be fair he said Too many Monster were causing a dry up Elliot he understood there was already one Monster Bingo in place Tor the area In June the bid was late He said he dn realize the association bingo had not been approved until lust week when he noticed there was no licence number attached to their advertising Elliot added that he would be checking out the GMHA claims that an Etobicoke operation had booked the summer months up for Monster The whole gu dell tie would be down the drain If that the ease he said However Elliot said it was for one group to probook the Monster schedule for an entire sum Technically In a 50mile radius there could be a lot of applies lions in he stated The ministry usually requires about six months notice In advance of a Monster Bingo application said Elliot There lot more to it than meets the eye He said if the planned far enough In advance there should be no problems in securing a date for a future Monster Bingo Diane Roy hall manager for mond Bingo in Etobicoke was unavailable for comment prior to press time Tim McLaughlin a Dla mond employee said the local charitable organizations that use the Diamond bingo facilities usually handle their own bookings and special event applications There that Monster he said The GMHA approached the mln directly last week In a bid o win approval Tor its May 19 event but
