Hello Everybody,
Because the Coronavirus pandemic is currently worse than ever before in BC, the Executive (Brian Nicholson, Dennis Gubert, Chris Moore & David Kaplan), have decided to call off all club activities for the foreseeable future, including the November 21st, 2020 club meeting and auction of birds, as well as the early January pigeon show.
It is ALWAYS better to err on the side of caution and to rather be safe than sorry. If any member attending a club activity, or any family member or contact becomes ill and suffer with Covid-19 because of a club activity, we will never be able to forgive ourselves.
If the pandemic is again better controlled in BC early next year, we may schedule our Annual General Meeting during March 2021, and a follow-up meeting during April 2021, before we start our racing season early May. There may even be an effective vaccine against Covid-19 available by then, that will make it much safer for us to continue with our normal club activities in 2021.
Please check your emails regularly, because we will send out notifications about the 2021 pigeon bands early in January 2021. Members who may need bands before our AGM in March, may then arrange to have their bands mailed to them and cover the costs for that by eTransfer, or arrange with me to pick up their bands at my home in Maple Ridge. All club members must also pay their $50 annual membership fee for 2021 before our first old bird race.
We will communicate all news and/or new developments to our members as it becomes available. Please feel free to stay in contact by text, email, or phone, with any or all of the Executive members mentioned above, should you have any questions or require further information.
Please take good care of yourself and your loved ones … and be safe!
David Kaplan
On behalf of the NRRPS Executive
