abuchan1986 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hello, I have acquired a couple jackets that belonged to my great grandfather and was looking for some more information regarding them. My father gave them to me along with a few knives last year, he was apart of the Welland Hunting Club but when I search I cannot find that it is still active. Anyone that was once part of this organization or know someone who was I would love to learn more, especially if they knew him. His nick name was Buck but his name was Alex Buchan. Im guessing these shirts are anywhere from 70-80 years old. Thanks for any help, if you knew him id love to meet for a coffee and learn more.

shoemaker Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 I could be wrong but I think they may have had a clubhouse on the hwy 140 and Buchner Rd?. Again I may be wrong but something tells me that was the name of that club. You mite start there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teedee Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 I remember going to a welland club when I was 14 years old . it was open for young kids then on sat. afternoon . we where taught how to handle and shoot guns . it cost us 25 cents to shoot 3 shots at clay birds. we went on a few trips planting trees and a fish hatchery . . I know it was called welland something . best gun club I ever attended. that was 60 years ago. td Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmcclem Posted October 16, 2017 Report Share Posted October 16, 2017 As was stated their club house is located on highway 140 in Welland and they have a hunt camp located in the Port Loring area . There is usually members at the club house on Tuesday nights and they could provide you with more information. Hope this helps. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
