1 - 13 September 2016 Sydney Showground Sydney Olympic Park CATALOGUE www.sydneyroyal.com.au 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.

Judges put Spring in the step of local producers Saturday 24 September 2016 Australia’s best fine food producers were named on Friday evening as the 2016 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show held its annual awards night at Sydney Showground. A team of 115 expert judges put approximately 1,200 products to the test in categories showcasing branded beef, branded lamb, deli meat, olive oil and regional food for the chance to be awarded a prestigious Gold, Silver or Bronze medal or Sydney Royal Championship. Sally Evans, Chair, Sydney Royal Fine Food Show said it was great to be involved in such a thriving national produce competition at a time when Australian consumers are increasingly interested in the provenance of their food, as well as in diversity, choice and flavour. “The Australian market continues to demand new products and flavours from both large and boutique producers. It was excellent to see such an array of high-quality, innovative entries this year,” she said.
