CANCELLED > 2020 RED DRUM TOURNAMENT AND JULY OPERATION BEACH RESPECT (OBR).
Announcements were made by President Bill Smith at Todays Annual Meeting Conference Call!…..See Below

This week the NCBBA Board made the decision to cancel this year’s Red Drum Tournament. We had a great deal of discussion but with the issues arising from the presence of the COVID virus and the challenges that would create, the Board did not feel it was feasible to move forward with this year’s Tournament. We know this is a disappointment for many but hope you will join us in looking forward to next year’s event. Refunds will be forthcoming to all who have already registered for this year’s tournament.

We had also hoped to have a mid-summer Operation Beach Respect event and picnic next weekend but with the restrictions currently in place by the state of North Carolina, we didn’t feel we could effectively have the kind of event we wanted and thus it was necessary to cancel that event.

This has been a challenging summer here on the Outer Banks. Visitation numbers are off the charts, with many first time visitors. As NCBBA members, let’s be ambassadors out on the beach, especially by setting an example for others, whether it be airing down, driving safely, being courteous while using the beach or being a resource if any first time visitors have questions or need our advice. Let’s have them look to us as an example out on the beach.

On another note, we are currently holding a raffle for a painting called “Running of the Blues”. Tickets can be purchased on our website and information about the painting and the raffle are located on the website and on our Facebook Page. The painting was donated by George Deems Jr., whose father was a former NCBBA President.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
Bill Smith, NCBBA President
