Two Warkworth A&P stalwarts were recognised at this year’s show held on March 16.

Medals were presented to Karen Woolley and Doug Poland.

Woolley received the medal from the NZ Salers Society and the Royal Agricultural Society, on behalf of her family. It recognised their committed promotion of the salers cattle breed through their stud and participation in A&P shows around the country.

The medal awarded to Doug Poland, of Poland Motors in Wellsford, was from the Royal Agricultural Society. It was given to the Warkworth A&P Show to present to whomever they felt deserved it.

Poland was chosen as the recipient in recognition of his commitment to the show’s trade section for 30 years straight. He also lends a hand on show day, making vehicles available for show organisers.
