Presidential Perspectives

From challenges to triumphs and growth to innovation, the RUAS has evolved over the years thanks to it's dedicated leaders and knowledgeable members. In this mini video series we're getting to know more about our past presidents, how the Society has grown over recent years and still continues to support our local agri-food industry.

In the week that sees the NI Sheep Shearing Team represent the RUAS in New Zealand, it seems a fitting time to reminisce with former RUAS President, Billy Martin OBE.

In his interview he not only recalls the challenges the Society was able to overcome during COVID but also the atmosphere that the Show is still renowned for today from within the buzzing Sheep Shearing Fold.

Here’s Billy’s story.
