Competing against leading event centres and venues from across the state, the wins have once again positioned Royal Randwick as a sought after destination for national and international events and hospitality including catering and venue services.

The AJC will now go on to represent NSW in the National Awards for Excellence to be held in Melbourne at the end of October.
