WSAG AGM ‪23rd February, 1pm (lunch) 1.30 AGM start, at Stoke Bliss & Kyre Village Hall WR15 8RR, followed by a talk by Cotswold Seeds on Pasture Management, with any questions welcomed from the floor – really useful for new and experienced owners. If there is anything specific you’d like them to cover let us know in advance!

We’re putting on lunch, just let us know if you have any dietary requirements.

Now for the formal bit!

The AGM is an important meeting for the group, it’s where members get the chance to openly discuss how the group operates, provide ideas for events or activities, elect committee members and see how group funds have been spent across the year.

Hopefully we’ve bribed you enough with a useful external speaker and the promise of a good lunch (we don’t skimp!) but on a serious note, it would be great if we could see as many of you there as possible!

Please confirm attendance at info@WSAG.org.uk along with any allergies/dietary requirements and we will make sure we accommodate!🦙😊🥪🥗🍰🥦🍍🥕!

It was really great to see so many of you at the WSAG winter social. We certainly managed to fill the pub and both the food and the company were excellent! 🍾🥘🍻

We know that many of you travelled some distance to be there, so thank you! We hope the event was a success and that you enjoyed the evening.

As we head into the festive season we would like to wish you all a very🎄Merry Christmas🎄 and all the very best for 2020🔔

Don’t forget, the next event is the AGM and talk on Pasture Management in February, preceded by our now traditional veritable feast, hope to see you there!

Thank you to everyone that joined us at Abberley Alpacas on Saturday (19th October) and a special thanks to Jay, Hilary and Ginnie for sharing their knowledge and experience for a very informative and valuable Alpaca Husbandry session. We hope everyone took away something useful from this afternoon. 

See you next at the Midlands Championship on the 9th November…..if anyone is available on the Friday 8th and would like to help we do still need some manpower for setup, all offers gratefully received!

We all had a great day yesterday at Pure Alpacas courtesy of Hilary and Jay.

People brought their fleece with show result cards and histograms and Jay meticulously explained what it all meant – along with various history lesson opportunities along the way!

When we were done with looking at fleece it was time for a delicious barbecue – it was noted that lots of people went back for seconds…..and thirds… 😊

In summary – great weather, great company, a great learning experience and a fantastic spread to round it all off! 

On Sunday we had the WSAG Craft Show judging followed by a BBQ.

Whilst the weather was unkind, in true British BBQ fashion, we adapted, with Iain (aka ‘Grumpy Chef’) cooking under a gazebo while the rain poured down and everybody else took refuge inside.

It might have been wet, but our spirits certainly weren’t dampened, and we had a very good and well attended event with good food and good company.

Our thanks go to Julia & Adam Berry for kindly hosting this for us and to the expert judges drafted in from the wider craft world.

Following the craft show judging on Sunday 9th June we’re having a BBQ for members – an opportunity to chat ‘alpaca’ and to see the results of the craft show.  Food will be ready from 5pm. Hope to see you there !
