Committee instated for largest event on the Angus Youth calendar

Angus Australia has announced the 2025 Roundup Organising Committee has been instated, with thirteen young members of the beef industry coming on board to bring the Angus Youth National Roundup to life. 

Bonnie Cox, Charlotte Nugent, Annie Pumpa, Chloe Plowman, Kaiti McGregor, Monique McKinnon, Annika Wynberg, Aimee Bolton, Libby Falkiner, Hannah Powe, Georgia Laurie, Brianna Meacle and Ruby Canning have all been selected as members of the committee. 

With the support of Roundup Event Manager Toni Nugent, the committee will work together to shape the 2025 Roundup event, which will take place at the Australian Equine and Livestock Exhibition Centre (AELEC) in Tamworth, NSW from the 8th to the 12th of January 2025. 

Angus Australia Extension Manager Jake Phillips looks forward to working with the group to bring the Roundup together in what is set to kick off an enormous year for Angus Youth. 

“Roundup is routinely the largest event on the Angus Youth calendar and would not be possible without the work of Toni and the committee in bringing it to life,” said Jake. 

I look forward to working with the group, which brings together previous committee members as well as some fresh faces, in organising the event. I also look forward to working with incoming committee chairperson Bonnie Cox and seeing her take on the leadership in this role.” 

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to come in as Chairperson for the 2025 Roundup and work with such an amazing group of ladies,” said incoming chairperson Bonnie Cox. 

“I am eager to contribute to the growth and education of our youth in the Angus community and create unforgettable experiences for our Roundup attendees.” 

With work already underway for Roundup 2025, further news has also been announced regarding the location of the 2026 Roundup. Returning to her role as Roundup Event Manager once again in 2025, Toni Nugent said, “It’s exciting to work with such an amazing group of passionate and knowledgeable young people as we start to plan for the 2025 Roundup. 

“We’re excited to be returning to AELEC in Tamworth and look forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be the best Roundup yet! We are also super excited to let you know that Roundup will return to the south in 2026, with Wodonga locked in to host the 2026 Roundup. 

“The facilities at both Tamworth and Wodonga are world class and we can’t wait to showcase the Angus breed, provide opportunities for our youth to learn about the Australian beef industry and network with some of the best in the industry. Mark the dates in your diary.”
