The Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland Long Service Medals and Certificates for employees with 30 years service or more are awarded by RHASS each year and these medals are often presented to the recipients at Fife Show by a local RHASS Director. Employees working full time in the agricultural service industry e.g for a firm rather than on a farm, may now also be eligible for an award.
Application forms for Long Service Awards can be obtained from the Secretary of the RHASS, or from the RHASS website and further information is also available from the Fife Show Secretary (fifeshow01@gmail.com). If you would like the medal to be awarded at Fife Show, please complete the form, with employee and employer’s details and counter-signed by an RHASS member, then return it to the Fife Agricultural Association Secretary, Nether Findas, Chance Inn, Nr Cupar KY15 5PQ. The Association Secretary will then sign it and forward to RHASS.
Completed applications must reach the Fife Show Secretary before 15 March 2025 as RHASS requires a minimum of 7 weeks to produce the medal and certificate.
