Our 2025 PICNIC was hot, but fun and informative. We had the 'Fox Hunt' with some custom antennas, and several members participated in the SKEETER Hunt. We all enjoyed each others company & great food that was shared.
This year (2025) we had a combination BCRC PICNIC, Skeeter Hunt and Fox Hunt at Pennington Park from 1-5pm! Directions posted below.
Please note we cancelled the Mon Aug 18 meeting this month!
BCRC PICNIC - this event was held 'rain or shine' at Pennington Park under shelter. Details will include 'bring a dish to share', the club will provide hot-dogs and hamburgers. Come join us for camadre & the families are of course invited too! During the event we will be participating in the 'SKEETER HUNT' (details below) and 'FOX HUNT' activities!
