limbo as far as the issue of users fees past and future is concerned the clubs senior executives met recently and decided not to pay last years outstanding fees which the club still maintains was never properly billed for club officials are still holding to the opinion that while they were told users fees were coming they werent invoiced until this past january for last years fee of 2000 this makes it much too late to collect the money from 1992 registration fees the club claims its still not sure what this years fees will be although seniors division official alfons rubbens said the club is building in an amount in its adult registration in anticipation of another 2000 where the confusion seems to enter into it is the seeming uncertainty as to just how the users fees are to be assessed by the head or by flat rate apparently the town has told the club it will be forced to pay i5per cent interest on last years outstanding fee if it wasnt submitted by monday of this week a meeting of several wssc executive members and the towns facilities supervisor john crawley monday morning resulted in the clubs being told they could now have to cough up users fees for the youth as well as the adults this could prove difficult for the club as registrations are almost finished for the upcoming season crawley agreed the adult users fee issue hadnt been handled as well as it could have by the town and told the club to write council with the purpose of setting up a meeting to clear the air ji 9 t sssf sfsh ww v f
