The President of the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club’s Reports on the status of the club.
Mother nature is sure intent on messing with us. As previously noted the club was submerged by the flood waters that came down the Sumas River and our own mountain. Then, the dike burst and all that water flooding us evacuated onto the Prairies south of us, taking the bridge at McDermott where it [...]
Well, November has certainly kicked us to the ground. As I’m sure everyone has heard, the club is under water. Dan and Audrey are fine, but will likely evacuate soon if the water levels don’t start to drop. The ranges are completely submerged under close to 2m of water. All the buildings are full [...]
The club has been running great and small improvements are still being done by our awesome caretakers. New painting, new doors and other projects they’ve been working on have been completed and the club looks great, as always. We are still getting a surprising number of complaints from members about very basic safety violations [...]
Things at the club are running great, but wouldn’t you know it, the Liberals called an election. To say that this election is one of the most important in Canadian history would be an understatement. We have a party that is now calling for the seizure of unused or underused land and homes, something [...]
Notice of Special Meeting, September 2, 7:00 PM In accordance with our constitution and bylaws, any items not presented and approved at the last AGM require that a General Special Meeting be called to seek approval of the membership. There will be one item on the agenda for budget approval. Item 1 Approval to change [...]
Summer heat is still continuing, please, please make sure to use the cigarette containers for your cigarette disposal. We are finding far too many on the ground, which is a severe fire hazard for the club and the surroundings. Should you spot a fire on the property we have fire extinguishers on every range [...]
That was a hot week last week!!!! Let’s hope that we don’t see anything like that again this summer. As many have already noticed we are back to normal operating procedures now, with all the tape removed and masks not being needed on the outdoor and only recommended on the indoor. We do ask [...]
Welcome to the heat! 39 degrees at the range the other day, that’s warm! Ranges are getting busier, please remember we are still operating off of the time windows of 8-10, 10-12, 12-2 etc on weekdays and starting at 10am on weekends. Until the PHO allows for us to restore all the shooting benches we [...]
We had our AGM! Massive thanks to Geoff Fraser for doing all the hard work on setting up Zoom to handle it. It ran without a hitch, which amazed me and many who attended. We hammered through the agenda with ease and passed our bylaw update, our budget and of course voted in new [...]
Thank you to all who attended our 2021 Virtual AGM! AFGC's first Virtual AGM was a resounding success and we received a lot of positive feedback about how smoothly the process went, from the visual presentation to the online Q&A and live online voting. Thank you to the volunteer organizers who put this together! We [...]
So the first of April has come and the internet is inundated with April Fools’ jokes. There are some great ones out there, the highlight for me being the one from Hornady, they previously did one on a bullet cam which took the internet by storm. Sadly, AFGC can’t announce any jokes this year, [...]
And, that’s why we can’t have nice things... Recently the club decided to purchase some nice rifle rests for use on ranges 2 and 3. These were not cheap items, and we’d hoped that we could trust our membership in having these out on the ranges. Sadly, that isn’t the case as two of the rests [...]
