The Norman Lethbridge Award began in 2002 and has been running continuously. The award was named in honour of the New South Wales State Committee’s past secretary Mr Norman Lethbridge.
Mr Norman Lethbridge was a stock and station agent for most of his working life. He travelled throughout New South Wales with his employment. A large number of his clients were situated in the County of Cumberland and within 200 kilometres of Sydney. The award is open to students and cadets over 16 years and under 25 years of age, studying agriculture, livestock auctioneering or stock and station. The applicant must reside in Sydney or within 200 kilometres of Sydney.
It is unique that the same committee formed at the inception of the Norman Lethbridge Award, comprising Mrs Christine Erby, Mr Mark Lucas, Mr Simon Hennings and Mr Richard Buck have interviewed applicants and adjudicated for the past eighteen years.
Past winners of the award are succeeding in the agriculture industry.
The 2002 inaugural winner of the Norman Lethbridge Award (Rachael Parkes, Richmond High School) along with her husband, Ged Mullins, run the largest dairy farm in Queensland.
The 2003 winner (Stuart Moeck, Richmond Tafe) runs Valley Creek Simmentals at Bowral.
