The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
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 [...]
As we prepare to wrap up the year a special thanks to our members, the BOD and our caretakers for the amazing club that AFGC is. If you have only been a member for a few years you won’t have seen the incredible growth that this club has gone through over the last decade [...]
