way for QRRRWN&#8217;s 25th annual conference which will be held in Kingaroy in September.<\/p>\n<p>QRRRWN &#8211; the Queensland Rural, Regional and Remote Women&#8217;s Network &#8211; began in the Burnett a quarter of a century ago and many of the inaugural members were from the Kingaroy area, which is why the town has been chosen to host this year&#8217;s conference.<\/p>\n<p>The QRRRWN Board met in Kingaroy on Friday to discuss arrangements and hold a social &#8220;face-to-face&#8221; get-together with local members and prospective members.<\/p>\n<p>QRRRWN president Melissa Barnett said the association was started by Monto farmer Jan Darlington.<\/p>\n<p>Durong grazier Georgie Somerset was one of the founding members.<\/p>\n<p>Since then the association has gone from strength-to-strength &#8211; and undergone a few tweaks to its name &#8211; as it grew to become a strong voice for rural women.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will be held from September 13-15.<\/p>\n<table
