Now that AFGC is back open and mostly operational, TMSA will be ending their shooting privileges for AFGC members on April 15th. We would like to thank the Board and Members at Thompson Mountain for accommodating our members over the last few months while we have been closed. Your support is highly appreciated!
Well, we missed the deadline I had sitting in my head. I had hoped we’d be open by March 1st, sadly that date has passed, and we won’t be open for a bit yet. I know the ranges look ready to go, as our restoration crew, excavation crew and caretakers have done an excellent job [...]
The bridge is open and we have been able to bring in equipment to truly start the work at the club. We do ask that members not attend the range until it is reopened, this includes just pulling into the parking lot and looking around. AFGC is an active construction site, complete with hazardous materials [...]
Winter continues to play havoc with us, more rain brings more flooding, hopefully we won’t see any drastic levels hit our club again, and once we have power restored to our pumps, they should be able to keep up with normal water levels. A bit of good news, the bridge should be open soon, [...]
Mother nature is sure intent on messing with us. As previously noted the club was submerged by the flood waters that came down the Sumas River and our own mountain. Then, the dike burst and all that water flooding us evacuated onto the Prairies south of us, taking the bridge at McDermott where it [...]
Another sign of our great community of shooters coming together, Thompson Mountain Sportsmen Association is extending their support to AFGC. As part of your recovery and after discussing it with the Board of Directors, TMSA would like to offer AFGC active members access to our club at a reduced rate and with some conditions [...]
Well, November has certainly kicked us to the ground. As I’m sure everyone has heard, the club is under water. Dan and Audrey are fine, but will likely evacuate soon if the water levels don’t start to drop. The ranges are completely submerged under close to 2m of water. All the buildings are full [...]
The club has been running great and small improvements are still being done by our awesome caretakers. New painting, new doors and other projects they’ve been working on have been completed and the club looks great, as always. We are still getting a surprising number of complaints from members about very basic safety violations [...]
Things at the club are running great, but wouldn’t you know it, the Liberals called an election. To say that this election is one of the most important in Canadian history would be an understatement. We have a party that is now calling for the seizure of unused or underused land and homes, something [...]
Notice of Special Meeting, September 2, 7:00 PM In accordance with our constitution and bylaws, any items not presented and approved at the last AGM require that a General Special Meeting be called to seek approval of the membership. There will be one item on the agenda for budget approval. Item 1 Approval to change [...]
Summer heat is still continuing, please, please make sure to use the cigarette containers for your cigarette disposal. We are finding far too many on the ground, which is a severe fire hazard for the club and the surroundings. Should you spot a fire on the property we have fire extinguishers on every range [...]
That was a hot week last week!!!! Let’s hope that we don’t see anything like that again this summer. As many have already noticed we are back to normal operating procedures now, with all the tape removed and masks not being needed on the outdoor and only recommended on the indoor. We do ask [...]
