published a letter from mary maredith formerly of goodwood and now of stouffville in which she criticized the new fee schedule charged the goodwood playgroup by the community park and centre association for use of goodwood hall because of the rate the organization has been forced to utilize accommodation free of charge in goodwood baptist church mrs meredith said the correspondence has prompted a reply from treasurer brian plewes ex- plaining the boards position it reads as follows dear sir on behalf of the goodwood community park and centre association i would like to reply -to- the criticism brought against us by mrs mary meredith of stouffville in- the april 7 edition of the tribune first of all we do take exception that the remarks were made on behalf of a local goodwood group by someone who is not even aresidentorc taxpayer in this riiunicipality mrs meredith does not mention that the increased rental charge would have been only 1000 per morning session i cannot see that this amount is in any way out of line or unfair with the ever increasing operating costs of the good- wood community centre approximately 2500 per day in 1981 i fail to see how rental increases can be avoided other parties renting the facilities have been affected riot just playgroup and we haveni- received complaints it was suggested to the playgroup delegation who attended our march 15 meeting that each mother be assesseda weekly fee in order to cover the rental charge this proposal was rejected by playgroup this charge would have been in the area of 35 cents to 40 cents based on the number of mothers attending based on the number of children in at tendance 35 has been men tioned the cost per child per mother would be ap proximately 29 cents the association feels that the 1000 rental charge is- realistic arid warranted arid intend to stand byour decision we have received feedback from local area residents regarding this matter- all positive in our favour j we cannot be fully con vinced that playgroup is indeed a community service itap- pears to us that this is a somewhat local group providing a private service only a happy day five left along with michelle from them these groups have five right for tickets call 9- had a more realistic approach jim thomas to the matter goodwood you never left her home without having first been served a cup of tea commented a
