This is the hardest report I’ve ever written in my time at AFGC. For the first time in the club history a virus, not water, not snow, not wind, has shut us down. Going to the club to check the mail or see how some of the scheduled work is going, is heartbreaking. No [...]
Abbotsford Fish and Game Club (AFGC) has received many communications from its membership regarding renewals for 2020/2021. Some of these communications are asking if we are going to prorate our membership, provide refunds, or other monetary reimbursements for the range being closed due to the Public Health Order (PHO) issued by the Provincial government. We [...]
This is a letter I never thought I would have to write, but uncertain times bring with them new experiences. As a result of the new mandates from the Province of British Columbia, under the Public Health Act, we are closing Abbotsford Fish and Game Club until further notice. This closure applies to all members, sub clubs and private [...]
The rain, and potentially the snow is upon is! Welcome to dreary BC weather! But we have a cure for that, our ranges are all heated, lit and open until 10pm! That means you can beat the dreary by coming out and shooting! I know the ranges were absolutely packed during the holidays, great [...]
Normally at this time of the year it would be all about the upcoming Christmas celebrations and New Year’s Eve; however, this year is different. Unfortunately, the Liberal government has decided to enact a draconian firearms prohibition and confiscation, based on nothing but fear mongering tactics of the anti gun crowd. DO NOT fall [...]

The summer is in full swing now it seems, with some really nice hot days, if you find yourself needing water at the club, feel free to get it from the hose bibs near each range, just remember to hook this back up if you have to disconnect anything. We have a new system [...]
We’ve had a pretty decent summer up to this point, no ridiculous heat waves yet. However, if we do, the water bibs along the garden as well as the water inside the clubhouse is potable water and is safe to drink, I have had many questions on that recently. Range 2B is coming along [...]
