User fee to be charged for tennis courts This year, area tennis buffs will have _to get the old pocket book out if they want to have a few matches on the ten- nis courts in the Town of Penetanguishene. For the first time in a number of years, the Arena, Parks and Recreation Board have placed a user fee on the courts to help pay for the expenses of having to resurface the courts this year. According to Arena, Parks and Recreation Board Secretary, Ron Mar- childon, memberships will be available for anyone interested at the Municipal Offices. The structure has been set up for Town residents, out of Town residents and a daily user fees for both resident and non-residents. Marchildon says because the residents of Penetanguishene already pay a certain amount towards the courts through their taxes, the cost is considerably lower than those for the tourists and out of Town residents. The added revenue will be used to redo the colour coat on both the sur- faces at McGuire Park and Memorial park courts which the secretary estimates will cost the board between $12,000 and $15,000. When the fees are paid, the members will receive a tag to put on their shoe to signify their membership. Marchildon says the problem will come in monitoring the courts adding that the members will have to act as monitors themselves. A member will be able to ask anyone without a tag to leave the court if they wish to play he added. Residential fees will be $7 for adults, $5 for students, and $2 for children, while non-residential fees will be $12 for adults, $8 for students, and $4 for children. Daily rates will be $3 for adults and students, $1 for children.
