Victoria Beach Sports club Monthly Newsletter for August 2011
The Sports Club
For over fifty years the Victoria Beach Sports club has been a place of community. Where children have grown up and adults have enjoyed each other's company. The numerous activities and events hosted by the club and its many volunteers has helped to kindle a sense of belonging to the many people in the area. The drawing area of the Sports Club is much larger than the Rural Municipality of Victoria Beach. The club draws in people from Albert Beach, Hillside Beach, Traverse Bay, Belair even as far as Grand Marais and Powerview-Pine Falls.
Membership
We have extremely reasonable membership fees for general use of the Sports Club. Individuals pay $10.00 and families are assessed $25.00. To cover specific costs, there can be additional registration fees for activities and events. For more information contact Lynn at 756-2575.

There are two main facilities
5 Ash Avenue, at the junction of Pine Road. This is original site and is made up of the hall, curling rink, skating rink and canteen. Although it is in the restricted zone, special allowances are made for functions. On these occasions you can access from Ateah Road.
