South West Alpaca Group (SWAG)
is a regional alpaca group in the UK. It’s purpose is to provide education and support for its members.
About Us
SWAG is one of the UK’s longest running regional alpaca groups, with it’s core membership coming from Cornwall, Devon, Dorset and Somerset. However, membership isn’t limited to those in our region and we actively encourage you to join wherever you are based.
The group was formed to provide a network of alpaca owners to offer support, advice and encouragement to each other, as well as offering a range of educational and social events where members can learn and meet in an informal and friendly environment.
and this is as true today as it was at our inception
Over the years, we have developed a wealth of knowledge to offer to our members and have been lucky enough to count several British Alpaca Society (BAS) judges amongst our number, giving us unparalleled levels of educational opportunities.
Not just content with interacting with other SWAG members, we actively engage with the public at various shows, promoting alpaca ownership. Our highlights are SWAG at the Dorset County Show, the Devon County Show and the SWAG Fleece show, organised by a group of enthusiastic members.
