Rural Alliance

From the 4,500 nominations received, the Countryside Alliance has announced the winners of the 2012 ‘rural oscars’. The awards started in 2005 as best rural retailer competition. Now they run over five categories spread across ten geographical areas. To find out who the winners are in your area click here.
