Welcome to the New South Wales Rural Press Club |
Connect | Inform | Inspire The New South Wales Rural Press Club (formerly known as the Farm Writers' Association of NSW) is the leading independent thought leadership platform and networking and development organisation for rural journalism and agricultural professionals in New South Wales. We hold regular lunches and evening networking functions to bring people involved in farming, food and fibre together with agribusiness leaders and rural storytellers, discussing issues and developments relevant to rural and regional communities. |
