Bancroft Ontario

The Planica Hunting and Fishing Club was incorporated in May 1976. Since that time the roster has increased from ten to eighty members. The club's main objective is to provide recreational facilities for its members and their families.

Planica owns 400+ hectares of picturesque, rolling property in Mayo Township east of Bancroft. There is year round access via Highway 28. The members built the clubhouse, known as Koca Alojzij, in 1976. The two modem buildings house 47 individual rooms, each with its own bath, kitchenette, and balcony. In the basement of Dom I there is a fully equipped kitchen, public washrooms, and a large hall. The hall in Dom II is mainly for indoor recreation and for the annual Fun-Education Camp. Many hunting trophies decorate the walls. The hill above the "Dom" offers a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Criss-crossing the property is a network of roads and trails used for snowmobiling, four-wheeling, hiking and cross-country skiing. The grounds have a regulation trap range and a fishpond. Club activities include; forest management, reforestation, game habitat improvement and, of course, hunting and fishing.

Planica is a private club but visitors are always welcome. An annual picnic attracts over two hundred people from all parts of Ontario. Other activities, such as dances and banquets, are also well attended. Interclub trapshooting competitions are held yearly.
