Thank you to all who attended our in-person 2022 AGM!It was great to be back in person for this year's AGM. Unfortunately we were not able to have it at the Clubhouse, but the Clarion Hotel provided a great venue with food and drinks. Thank you to the volunteer organizers who put this together!We had [...]
Just a reminder that the deadline for our AFGC Scholarship Fund is on June 15th. If you or your children are looking to enter a post secondary education in the Fall, the club is offering up to 3 scholarships at $4,000 each, with a potential for up to $2,000 for subsequent years! Make sure to [...]
Great to be seeing people out at the range enjoying our shooting sports. Sadly our government has decided to attack us yet again, we still don’t know all the details, but suffice it to say this is cultural genocide by the Liberal government. They are going after reading material along with handguns, and rifles. It [...]
We are open! I cannot properly express my joy about being open, and gratitude to everyone who worked so hard to get to this point. We still have a lot of work to do before we are fully opened though. Range 2 still has a lot of work being done on it, but we [...]
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 [...]
