North East Awards

Each year the Society brings together a panel from a range of leading organisations in the North East to help it to honour individuals who have been nominated for Outstanding Service to Agriculture. Anyone may put forward nominations and four winners are selected annually. The presentations are made in association with key sponsors at the Royal Northern Awards Lunch in November. On this distinguished occasion the Society also recognises three promising agricultural students and engineering apprentices.

The Awards Lunch is always a very well attended function where all are welcome to attend.
