(updated 24th Sept)
Due to the COVID disruptions and the Health Departments necessary guidelines, the LPAF&G Club has reluctantly decided that due to the current restrictions on the number of people allowed to gather together and due to the uncertainties as to what the early part of 2021 will hold, the LPAF&G Club will unfortunately NOT be holding a yard sale swap in February 2021, this cancellation has been done in order to avoid any potential transmission of covid from either us to you or you to us at the swap. Please stay safe.
We look forward to holding a yard sale swap again when this COVID situation calms down and it is safe once again to do so.
Judging by the number of positive comments from hunters it certainly looks like the 2020 Norfolk County Pheasant release was a hit and a success. The Club would like to express its appreciation to all those who bought a Pheasant licence and for the positive comments given to our members and/or left on our facebook page. The total number of licenses purchased has exceeded the total for last year. Success as always varied by hunter but there were still Pheasants being seen and harvested in the final week of the season. We are already looking forward to continuing the program based on the excellent response from the 2020 pheasant release.
Hunters and others should be aware that parts of the St. Williams Conservation Reserve are currently temporarily closed for logging opertions,
