Subject: RE: Use of I)unmoore for Robbie Tournament
Understood which is why we worked with Peter Jamieson who has the permit for Sundays at
Dunmoore to get his agreement for us to use it for the Robbie.
If we can get the Ci1ty agreement to waive the user fees for that one weekend for this Charity
tournament we would appreciat€~ the support.
Thanks Everett

Subject: Use of Dunmoore for Robbie Tournament
Each year the Robbie Soccer Tournament is run on the July 1st long weekend (this
year June 30-July 2).
All proceeds from this tournament go towards charity and no one, including the
referees, get paid for tlu:ir involvement.
Each year we host a few games here in Pickering and supply field convenors, etc,
With the new user fee structure for field use in Pickering we would like to ask that
these user fees be waive:d for the weekend games that will be played for the Robbie
in light of the fact that this is a charity tournament.
Tllis would be for Dunl1100re and Kinsmen Large fields (Don please confirm).
More details related to the tournament can be found on the following web page:

Please contact Don Maher or myself if you have any questions.
We look fOIward to your confirming the ability to waive the fees for this charity
event.
Thank-you
