The Greenbank Gamblers are hoping that you will puchase a During the past eight years the Greenbank Gamblers have been one of the premier fastball clubs in the Province of Ontario. They have represented Green- bank at Championship Competi- tions and Tournaments across the Province with outstanding results, In both 1987 and 1988 they were invited to participate at the "Bulova Watch' Tournament at the Canadian National Exhibition. In 1986 they won the "All On- tario" Intermediate "C" Cham- pionship and last year they topped off an outstanding season by be- ing crowned the "All Ontario" In- termediate "Open" Champions after defeating Oshawa, Peter- borough, South Porcupine, Grimsby and Acton in the 0.A.S.A.

Traditionally at these Monday night games, "The Hat" has been passed to help defray the costs of Umpires and Balls, etc. This year the team is dropping "The Hat" collection and instead is selling season tickets that will cover admission to all Gamblers games in 1989. A season ticket is only $10.00 and could well be considered as one of the great values of all time here in the Village. 'Some of the teams playing in British touch on the courts Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
