The South West Alpaca Group (SWAG) is a regional group of the British Alpaca Society (BAS). SWAG is a support group for owners and prospective owners of these fascinating animals. The Group has approximately 140 members spread from Cornwall to Hampshire and north as far as Gloucestershire, with herds of both Huacaya and Suri, ranging in size from 3 to 300 or more. There are now over 3000 alpacas in the South West of England, and some 25,000 in the United Kingdom.
Membership of SWAG costs £15 per year, which covers administrative, mailing costs and some promotional expenses. Membership benefits include networking with other alpaca owners, as well as a quarterly informative newsletter and a range of educational workshops and seminars. A contribution towards expenses, normally £5 or £10 per person, may be required for attendance at workshops and meetings. SWAG is probably the biggest regional group within the BAS, and therefore SWAG members have an excellent opportunity to influence the National BAS board in their policies and decision-making.
We welcome you to the South West Region website and we hope you enjoy learning more about alpacas.
