ASWGA Fleece Competition Winners 2020-21
Congratulations to Carol & Allan Phillips of “Glen Stuart” Tasmania for their win in three categories of the ASWGA Fleece competition, the class 90s quality along with first place in the Tasmanian region and the big one, the “Grand Champion” Trophy for the best overall fleece sponsored by Australian Council of Wool Exporters & Processors.
Allan & Carol Phillips said ‘We feel very honoured to win the Grand champion Fleece award in the ASWGA Fleece competition this year, considering that the fleeces were drawn from many of the best superfine woolgrowers in Australia.
It was fortunate that we had an excellent season here in Tasmania for growing wool.
We would like to thank the sponsors Australian Council of Wool Exporters & Processors Inc, the judges, and everyone else who assisted in making this competition happen. Congratulations to all the other winners, and placegetters! Hopefully we can all enjoy some of the good wool prices on offer for superfine wool.
The Australian Superfine Wool Growers’ Association Inc. (ASWGA) congratulates all winners of respective regions and quality classes.
There were seventy three fleeces entered in this year’s competition and the results were very close.
‘A huge thank you to our sponsor Australian Council of Wool Exporters & Processors for the grand trophy and to AWTA for arranging transport of fleeces for judging. We would also like to thank Natsun for sponsoring the quality class section along with Nutrien Wool, Dyson Jones, Fox & Lillie Rural, Riverina Wool Testers and Zoetis for sponsoring the regional awards. ‘
‘A special thank you to the fleece committee for their assistance in arranging and sorting the fleeces. Once again a special thanks also to AWTA, Nutrien, SBBL & AWN for assisting in the transportation of fleeces. Thank you to Mark Hedley & AWN for assisting with space made available for storage of fleeces and judging. It was a huge effort and greatly appreciated by the Association. Finally, thank you to judges Mark Hedley of AWN & Tim Marwedel of G Schneider.’
