First-hand account from the titleholder. Unverified against any external source, and deliberately so recorded: a search across eight queries returned no online mention of the title.

Transcribed: Richard Cope stated that he was Mr Brisbear 2005. Told directly to the Bearings steward in conversation. No published record of the title has been found; the Brisbears club's documented title is Mr Bear Queensland (lineage from 2013).
