ing of about $4 oiiltion on Dec, 13.That figure

about $200,000 im the fast two years, during

_ which the club fought a seven-
week court battle against’ land-
lords, said Terrillon. :

The judge, who had bypass
surgery after courtroom argu-
ments concluded July 7, said he
will hand: down a decision in the
cuse in the first week of January.
but only if the deal between
landlords and the, club — falls
through, said Terriflon.

Terrillon, who was one of
three board members who helped
cobble the deal together, said the
deal is good for members,

“It's a very positive move to
own ourselves,” she said. “The

: problem that has been (keeping)
members away ... is that we're in
litigation.” soos ,

She said the’ buy-back. will
help market the club to new
members, who wouid become
owners: and not-have to worry

about litigation and fandlords.

Financing, she said, should sot be a prob-

dem. .-Martgage payments, Terrillon added,

should be stratlar to the $360,000, in lease pay-
ments the club now pays each year.
