The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
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 [...]
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 [...]
Our new Limited Visibility Zone safety system is now up and running, please see the instructions on the website on how to use it. As well, there is ample signage on Range 2 that explains how to use and work the system. I’ve seen a lot of ear plugs in the parking lot lately, [...]
Not a lot to report this month, things are going well, our new doors will be online soon, and there will be a new rule regarding them, “Do NOT handle firearms behind closed doors”. If you wish to uncase, case, or otherwise handle a gun, it must be at the bench (not the back [...]
As of September 27th, 2023 the steel ammo ban has been lifted at AFGC. Thank you for your cooperation during the wildfire season!
As many have noticed our new doors are installed on all the ranges. They won’t be active until we finish up a few other things. Our new safety system is almost done on Range 2 and instructions on how to use it, along with new signage, will be coming along shortly. Things are going [...]
