$10 (inc GST) Catalogue Sydney Royal Arts & Crafts Show 1 - 12 April 2021 Sydney Showground Sydney Olympic Park www.rasnsw.com.au From the President Thank you for entering one of our Sydney Royal Competitions. It is an absolute privilege to see first-hand the incredible range and standard of entries we attract each year to our competitions. It is thanks to entrants such as yourself that our competitions are so highly anticipated and regarded. There is no doubt it has been an incredibly difficult 12 months for all involved with the Sydney Royal Easter Show and our competitions and we appreciate, more than ever, your trust in our events and your willingness to work hard and be ‘competition ready’. Highlighting excellence, and the ethos of striving to always be better, we acknowledge a remarkable contribution from the rural and regional communities that are proud of all they are achieving despite conditions that should be working against them. It is a testament to the resilience of all involved with Australian agriculture, livestock and produce that entry numbers remain high and the standard is extremely competitive. As I thank all competitors I must also thank our judges for giving their time so willingly and sharing their expertise with all involved. Also thank you to our generous sponsors along with our Committees, Councillors, Breed Societies and supporters. On behalf of everyone involved with the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Sydney Royal competitions and the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW as a whole, I hope you have enjoyed your Sydney Royal experience and I encourage you to join in the tradition of entering every year.
