Due to the challenges with COVID-19
the annual Affiliates Conference was
not held in 2021, but is a priority in
2022 to re-engage. Future plans include
ongoing support and communication with
the regional agricultural societies across
WA, as they look to rebuild and prosper.
Agricultural Shows of Australia (ASA),
with Doctor Rob Wilson OAM as the
President, has worked hard to secure
federal grants to assist the 56 affiliates
Regional Show groups and the RASWA.
These grants have been available to
those regional shows that were cancelled
during 2021/22, and the ASA has worked
with them to secure these grants .
Congratulations to Trevor Blight the
winner of the 2021 Governor’s Cup at
the 2021 Perth Royal Show. RASWA
would also like to thank the Hon Kim
Beasley AC for his outstanding service
as Patron of the Society, when during a
difficult period, the Governor has always
been available to support the Society
and promote its activities.
