President Jim Keene was presented a custom rod and reel with his NCBBA number wrapped into the hand grip thanking him for 10 years of service to NCBBA as President and many additional years serving on the Board of Directors. Jim now becomes the most recent past president and will be seated on the Board as a new director and will continue as our NCBBA representative to CHAPA. Past President John Newbold was also presented with a custom rod and reel with his NCBBA number wrapped in the hand grip recognizing him for 30 plus years of service to NCBBA as Mr. Everything including President . John will no longer be a member of the Board but will continue as the Fishing News Editor for our newsletter. The Brian Edwards Memorial Trophy for the Russ Privett Memerial Tournament was presented to Mr. John Newbold in appreciation of the time and talent he has given to NCBBA over the past 30 years. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards presented this award to John as there were no Junior Members who caught a fish in the tournament.
