Hello Everybody,

If you remember correctly, we held a young bird auction on Friday evening April 28^th, 2023, to auction off donated young birds to compete in the Auction Bird Money Race in the 250-mile race (Greenwood race), which will most likely take place this coming Saturday, September 16^th, 2023. 

This effort raised $880 total, with $440 for our club, and $540 to be paid out as prize money.  The donated birds will compete for the prize money, and were auctioned off as follows:

Hello Everybody,

Here is the timetable for our club activities for April:

1.    Basketing for an Old Bird training toss from Rosedale Bridge will take place on Friday April 22^nd, 2022.  The training toss will take place on Saturday April 23^rd, weather permitting.

2.      Allocation of electronic bands for Old Birds will take place on Sunday April 24^th from 10:00 am until everybody has been served.  Please remember to bring your electronic clock.  Electronic bands will be available at $3.20 per band.

3.      An auction will be held at the clubhouse after basketing for the first OB race ... most likely on Friday April 29^th, 2022.  Fanciers who wanted to boost the club finances, used to donate youngsters and other birds like breeders or extra birds, during our annual pigeon show to be auctioned off.  This year we did not do this during our show.  So, anybody who wants to donate youngsters or other birds to be auctioned off with all the proceeds going to the club, are welcome to bring these birds to the clubhouse during basketing for our first OB race.  And anybody who wants to buy some of these birds on auction, is more than welcome to attend.

Any questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Best regards,

David Kaplan

Hello Everybody,

All the club members who qualify to vote on the new proposed young bird race schedule have voted, and they all voted “yes”.  So, we will be flying this new schedule, starting with the club training toss from Rosedale Bridge on Saturday July 31^st, followed by our first race from Sunshine Valley on Saturday August 7^th, if the weather and wildfires allow.

Keep training those young birds, and we hope to see you soon!

Hello Everybody

Here are the Minutes from our General Club Meeting of Saturday April 3rd, 2021

Please note that the race schedules for 2021 were voted in, with our Rosedale Bridge club training toss on April 24^th, 2021 ... weather permitting.

Allocation of electronic bands for old birds at the clubhouse on Sunday April 18^th, 2021 from 10:00 am.

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 21^st, 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
