The ABPA acknowledges the achievements of members and past members who specialise in specific areas which help to promote the cause of the ABPA and of bush poetry in general.

He was ABPA President from 2006 to 2009 and presents the Verse for Vinnies bush poetry shows in Brisbane six times a year. Noel and his wife Ann have been running the event since 2012 and have raised over $90,000 for the St Vincent de Paul Society.
