They came under the guidance of Adi Ritchie, the brains behind Polish Works, an organisation providing personal, professional and social improvement and development based in Glen Innes.
What can only be described as the worst drought in history and fires raging in the area, it was an incredible achievement to have so many young women in attendance.
The ladies enjoyed self-defence lessons, nutritional talks, make up tutorials, manners, speech preparation and interview skills just to name a few.
The weekend provided a platform for the entrants of this years The Land Showgirl competition to come together and network, learn new skills and prepare themselves for the zone judging early in the new year.
Oberon show girl Bronte Gavey was one of the young ladies representing her community.
Bronte said the weekend was an enjoyable and educational experience where she learnt the tools to help her succeed not only for the next stage of competition but in life.
Bronte said the calibre of presenters was incredible, and the experience was something she would treasure.
"I am very thankful to my show committee for providing me with this opportunity," she said.
Bronte was judged as Oberon Showgirl in October 2018 and at the Oberon Show in 2019 she participated in the official opening and assisted in the animal nursery.
She also had entries in several sections of the cooking competitions.
In March, Bronte represented her show society and the Oberon community with pride at the Zone 5 Showgirl Final in Mudgee.
A spokesperson said it is encouraging to know our future ambassadors and representatives for The Land Showgirl competition are now ready and prepared for the adventure ahead and we look forward to watching their journey.
