into history the good old days supvt d sftiat jm jpnag 7ffnr fere the lions club skating carnival on sat unlay evening marked a high point in a very successful season at the community centre while the financial rewards to the club may not have been as great as they might have been the experience gained will undoubtedly assist them in presenting the carnival m future years the fact that there was ofte of the largest crowds in the arena snoe the georgetown acton milton hockey era fifteen years ago speaks well for the efforts of the club in promoting the event it a our hope and we are sure the hope of the cub that over the years the participation by local skaters wilt increase until acton skaters predominate the seasons activities at the arena we feel have been very well accepted minor hockey sponsored by the legion enjoyed a full schedule as well as play-offs- the younger teams competed in their leagues end while no team advanced too far into playoffs all completed their schedule with out postponements due to unsatisfactory ice conditions the intermediate club in their first year back in organized hockey had a creditable season curling back after many years absence attracted an enthusiastic following with the interest shown this year and registration for next years curling already on hand tndica tions are that the popularity of this winter activity will increase the operation of the centre by the parks board has been satisfactory starting m mid sea with an unfinished building was one of the mapr problems of the board another and equally difficult problem faced by the board was the fact that no person locally had had any experience in the operation of an artificial ice arena we feel the board has done a creditable ob this year with the ex penence they have qamed in these four months they wl be better prepared to pre sent an even better program in future years the boards financial operations have been most satisfactory also and early indications are that revenue received will meet all op eratmg expenses incurred we think back to last year at this time when the skating carnival had been can celled because the nafural ice in the arena went out when hockey teams finished the year w ihout playoffs and when activity at the arena had reached a low point now we have developed a feeling of pride m all the citizens of acton who have attained a new high in community spirit through their sup port and participation in the new community centre we cannot point a finger at any m dividual or group and say this is the result of your efforts rather we say this is the result of the efforts of all actons citizens it only shows what can be done when we are alt prepared to work together we would suggest that the fund raising committee study the feasibility of asking the vontrlbutors to the community centre to con tmue their pledges for an additional three or four months if the majority of contributors are inclined to do this some of the frills could be provided at the centre we feel that a defined park ng area would be a maor asset to the centre there are many other small thmas that could be done with increased funds that would make everyone s back
