The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
The construction is really starting to look like something now, with the framing all done, some windows in, plywood sheathing up and more. I can hardly wait for this to be finished and can’t believe that is still months away. This month we see the return of IPSC matches on June 28th and 29th [...]
Well not the election results we wanted, but what we have to deal with. Keep your heads up and keep shooting. Don’t let them win and give up on our sports. In better news, our club reno is coming along nicely, the block wall is going up on the addition and it’s starting to look [...]
Finally winter has set in and our heaters are getting some good use now along with the roll up doors. As you may have noticed, construction has started on the clubhouse and parking area. New fences have gone up so please be careful where you’re walking and driving. Members are not allowed in the [...]
Happy New Year everyone, and what a great start to the year. Justin Trudeau has stated he “intends” to resign as soon as a new Liberal Party leader is selected. Sadly, he also prorogued parliament, which is, well, disgusting, but not unexpected either. Once a General Election is called please, please remember that it is [...]
It is with a lot of excitement that I can finally report, we have our Building Permit. 10 years of trying to get this, and we now have it. That means, finally, we can get to work remodeling the clubhouse and restoring the damage from the flood. Once we have our revised schedule from the [...]
Welcome to fall! We’ve had some interesting weather blow through already, and the club has handled it awesome. The roll up doors certainly make a big difference when it’s cold and windy, as do the heaters. We unfortunately did have an negligent discharge recently that struck one of the rolled up doors on Range 2, [...]
Well it looks like summer has left us, with temperatures dropping considerably once the sun goes down. If you use the heaters and experience any problems with them lighting up please let our caretakers know if you see them, or let us know via the website. If you’re interested in a new sport, our [...]
The club is running great with our caretakers doing an amazing job keeping it looking beautiful. The summer weather has been really hit and miss, with heaters still being needed the odd night, who would have thought?!! We have had a significant number of rules infractions this summer, mostly new members, often ones that [...]
Juneuary has moved on and I was worried we’d be going into Jubruary instead of July, but it seems that some heat is finally here. You may notice around the club property there are water bibs, you are free to use those to fill water bottles and such, but please make sure to not [...]
Well, into June and finally two nice days, still chilly at night, have to love the heaters we have on the ranges! Everything is going well at the club, we are closing in on our permit for the club house redo, and have finalized the environmental issues and the city is happy with the [...]
Spring is here, although the temps would tell you otherwise at night. Work on the clubhouse is progressing nicely and looking good upstairs, as well as in the trap house. After our meeting with the City today we are hopeful we will be seeing a BP by June 1st for the rest of the [...]
Thank you for all who came out to the AGM on Thursday evening! We saw an increase in members attending the AGM this year and we're glad to see more members come out to participate. Attendees were able to take home some goodies including AFGC toques, lanyards, pens, bags, stickers and the newly coveted [...]
