Thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday for the SA Pruning Championships and Industry Day! The weather was absolutely perfect, and we loved spending the day outside of the office catching up with everyone. Well done to Kilikanoons' Pete Warr for wining the novelty (Covid-safe) 'Spitting Competition,' and a huge congratulations to the Barossa's Laura McEwen for becoming the first Woman to win the Wolf Blass Shield and placed first in the Ladies Spur, third in the Open Individual Rod & Spur and fourth in the Open Individual Spur. Our very own 'Anna & The Prunettes' featuring Executive Officer Anna Baum, Marketing & Events Coordinator Belinda Heinrich and Technical Committee Member Kelly Reed won the wooden spoon in the team event.
