All rights reserved. VICN14184LOB. Welcome from the President Thank you for entering one of our Sydney Royal Competitions and congratulations to those who were successful in winning a prestigious Sydney Royal medal. I’m delighted to see that the Sydney Royal Competitions continue to attract a remarkably high standard of entries, not only from New South Wales, but right across the country. Agricultural competitions are at the heart of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) charter – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. To be the recipient of a Sydney Royal award is a significant achievement representing months, years and sometimes decades of hard work and dedication. To help winning Exhibitors promote their success, the RAS provides Champion, Trophy, Gold, Silver and Bronze medal winners with Sydney Royal artwork to use on product packaging, websites, signage and other marketing materials to promote their success. We review our Competitions every year to ensure they remain relevant to industry standards and up-to-date with changing trends. I hope as an Exhibitor you enjoyed the changes and new improvements we made in your area of Competition. Please do give us your feedback, as we are always looking to strengthen our links with agricultural industries. There are many people involved in making our Competitions the world-class events they are. Firstly I must thank our judges for their time, expertise and energy. Their impeccable ethics ensure only the best of the best are awarded. I also extend my gratitude to our generous Competition sponsors along with our Committees and supporters. On behalf of the RAS, thank you for your support of our Competition program. Your participation plays an important role in assisting the RAS to educate and increase awareness about the importance of our agricultural industries. I hope you enjoyed your Sydney Royal experience and I encourage you to enter again next year.
