Peter Laing Trust
Funds from this event will go to the Peter Laing Memorial Trust. The Trust grants scholarships to Wairarapa people, or people with strong Wairarapa connections who want to work in agriculture. They are designed to help people obtain practical training for entry into the agricultural industry or alternatively, for those commencing their first farm employment and requiring dogs, or specialist equipment such as a saddle.
Peter Laing managed Castlepoint Station for nearly 40 years, from 1954 until his retirement in 1991, earning a reputation over the years as a hardworking, practical man who was also a great visionary in his field. Laing died in 2004, aged 74. |
