available to their age group. Mr. O'Donin inquired if they were interested in a sod
or cinder court. Michael also asKed how many people were interested. Mr.

followers. Mr. Logue commented he feft it was a good idea and all ti�at would be
required is a flat, level surface. A motion was made and seconded to in�estigate
