International Volunteers Day

International Volunteers Day

The Royal Agricultural Society of New Zealand (RAS) want to thank all those people who work so hard to showcase rural excellence in their own time, both locally and nationally.

The RAS has 93 A&P association and 67 breed and kindred society members, all of whom cannot run without the involvement of their passionate, dedicated volunteers. Without them, local communities wouldn’t have their show, in some cases their facilities, and be able to continue what for some is a history of well over 150 years.

Thousands of people around the country are involved in connecting their local communities, and then there are those who further get involved at district level. We equally appreciate our judges and national officials who work across the country.

Thank you to each and every one of you, we appreciate you all.
