At the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) Annual Meeting held on Friday 25th March the prestigious President’s Plate was awarded to Alexandra Woods from Banbridge.
This special award acknowledges a Society member who has made a significant contribution to the RUAS over a period of years. This year, Alex was the worthy recipient having been a member of the RUAS since 1994 and elected to Council in 2011. She is an active member of the Catering, Cattle, Trade Exhibits and Kings Hall Exhibition and Conference Centre Committees and has stewarded at the Balmoral Show for over 20 years.
