Regional groups
Members meet on a regular basis to talk alpaca, organise events, seminars, workshops, and generally share their experience and knowledge on all things alpaca.
These regional groups form a welcoming interface for new members to meet and socialise with breeders in their locale.
They are not exclusive and are open to all, providing a welcoming informative way to learn more about alpacas. Should you be an owner, prospective owner, or just interested in these fascinating animals, your regional group will always make you welcome.
The groups also provide invaluable expertise by providing qualified judges, nutritionists and lecturers, the emphasis being always on self-help, accessibility and local initiative. Each Group organises its own area slightly differently; some hold their meetings in the same place and some move venues. Meetings are organised around barbecues, suppers, coffee mornings and workshops; most groups ask for a small contribution to cover the costs of the event
