The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) is pleased to announce plans to establish a Youth Advisory Group to support and nurture the next generation of Victorian agricultural leaders.

It’s wonderful to begin the new year being able to have the RASV team progressively return to the office after the summer break. The comradery, energy and enthusiasm generated by staff being able to come together again in the office is fabulous and gives us renewed optimism about the year ahead.

Stage 2 of the 30-year vision community and stakeholder engagement was held during November. Three workshops were held with the RASV Board, Committee and Industry Advisory Group representatives, food and beverage stakeholders, staff, local residents and interested public as well as a public webinar.

As we approach the end of 2020, there is great optimism and enthusiasm about the year ahead. We are particularly buoyed by RASNSW recently announcing that the 2021 Sydney Royal Easter Show will proceed from April 1-12. We look forward to Sydney Royal being a huge success and that all agricultural Shows around Australia return bigger and better in 2021.

The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria (RASV) is a not-for-profit organisation, supported and guided by several advisory groups and committees, whose members are approved by the RASV Board. The members of these groups are experts in their industry and help to shape and develop a vibrant calendar of activities, events and competitions, including food and drink award programs, on-farm events, agricultural competitions and Victoria’s largest and most iconic annual community event, the Royal Melbourne Show.
