2022 Grain NSW AGM and Industry Gathering

After a couple of years of virtual meetings, it was great to come together again for the 2022 Grain NSW AGM and Industry Gathering on Friday 28th October.

Sincere thanks to outgoing Association President Andrew Cogswell of Lachlan Commodities who after a 5year tenure handed over the reigns to incoming President Adam Robinson of Robinson Grain Trade.   Congratulations to both gentlemen!

With members and industry associates keen to meet in person once again, the event attracted a record number, with 150 in attendance at Café Del Mar, Darling Harbour Sydney.
