President of the Show Society Will Marr presented the award to Mr O’Neil at the official opening of the Show.
“He's been heavily associated with the Show, for many years he was the ringmaster, and he has always been a guiding and stable individual with the ring,” Mr Marr said.
“He doesn’t want us to make a fuss, but it is a very worthy award to a man whose given a lot to the Show Society and to Nyngan.”
Mr O’Neill thanked everyone he has worked with over the years.
“While Will's got that microphone in my mouth, I would like to thank the committees that I've worked with over the years, It’s always been a great gratitude,” Mr O’Neill said.
“I’ve got more out of working with the show than I've put in I’m sure. Thank you so much,” he said.
