RNBRA & FULLBORE SECTION CHANGES

As of December 21, 2014:

Many of you may already know that the RNBRA Board of Directors and Executive Committee recently received the resignations of President Bob Kierstead, Treasurer Bobby Jones, First Vice-President Paul Richie and 2nd Vice-President Morrill Sisk. We thank these folks for their work on behalf of shooters, coaches and especially young shooters in New Brunswick over a long period of time and wish them well in their future endeavours.

These resignations have required some rapid changes and adjustment on the part of many people and these adjustments have, in turn, affected the make up of the executive of the Fullbore Section. After considerable soul-searching, Michael Lutes has accepted to take on the responsibility of presiding over the Board of Directors of the RNBRA and is now Interim-President. This meant that he could not perform his duties as Fullbore Chairman and Representative to the RNBRA Board and so Bert deVink will move to Fullbore Chairman while Don Coleman takes over the job of Fullbore Representative to the RNBRA. Bert's position of Fullbore Section Vice-chairman will be taken over by John Holleran.
