The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
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 [...]
Spring is still taking it’s time to get here, but at least it’s brighter every day giving us some beautiful days at the range. We are still having problems with people not wearing their safety glasses on the ranges and we are at a loss as to why this is happening. As such there [...]
It looks like spring is actually showing up, a bit later than some years for sure. We are making headway with the city, have a meeting with the Mayor next week, so hope to come out of that with positive news! Enjoy the later evenings now and remember that Archery has Wednesdays after 4pm and [...]
Well that was another exciting week or two at the club! Many thanks to our patient members during the snowstorm, even with the doors our caretakers had a ton of work to do to get the range open, lots of snow had to be moved. Following that we had the flooding in the parking lot [...]
Happy New Year everyone! The new doors at the club are working great, it’s nice to be able to use the ranges and not have the wind whistling down and through all the open bays. Something that seems to just be a constant reminder that is necessary, and I will admit it bothers me greatly [...]
