The Graham Blatch Memorial Goobang Scholarship (open category) was introduced in 2011 in honour of former NSW Farmers Regional Services Manager Graham Blatch. Graham was a member since he was 18 and a farmer at Yeoval before he became employed with NSW Farmers in 1998. He was well respected and epitomised the essence of our organisation. With an open and exuberant personality, he influenced the lives of many farmers in the central west of NSW.
