Thank you from the President Thank you for entering one of our Sydney Royal Competitions. Once again, I am delighted to see the remarkably high standard of entries they attract. We first judged livestock, produce, cotton and silk in the 1820s with the aim of ‘exciting in proprietors an ambition to excel above others’. This initial aim forged the charter of the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) – to encourage and reward excellence, and support a viable and prosperous future for our agricultural communities. Your participation in this competition continues the tradition and wholeheartedly supports our charter. Sydney Royal Competitions highlight excellence and the passion of so many talented producers and exhibitors not only from New South Wales, but from right across the country. Winning a prestigious Sydney Royal award is a reward for hard work and dedication, and brings numerous commercial opportunities as well. Major award winners have the benefit of Sydney Royal medal artwork to promote their success to collectors, customers and consumers. The increased interest can help our rural communities to remain strong and vibrant. We review our Competitions every year, to ensure they remain relevant to industry standards and trends, and we always welcome feedback. Encouraging a dialogue with producers and exhibitors in another way in which we can retain our strong links with agricultural industries and communities. Thank you to all of our judges for their expertise and the time they dedicate to recognising the best and providing valuable feedback to entrants. The integrity of our competitions relies on the experience and impeccable reputations of our judges, stewards and competition officials. I also extend thanks to our generous sponsors along with our Committees, Councillors, Breed Societies and supporters. I hope you have enjoyed your Sydney Royal experience and the opportunity to receive comments and advice. It is through competition that we grow and go on towards greater things, and I hope that you are suitably encouraged to return next year.
