His tireless commitment and leadership were instrumental in the club’s success and growth.
An accomplished angler, Kidd was celebrated for his skill, perseverance, and ability to inspire those around him.
Among his many achievements, earning the prestigious ‘Angler of the Day’ award stood out as a testament to his dedication and love for the sport.
Beyond his prowess as an angler, Kidd excelled as a sports administrator.
