The South East Alpaca Group was formed in 2002, by several owners in Kent and Sussex. We now cover the whole South East area. The group meets about four times a year, to exchange news and views on Alpaca matters and to hear talks by experts in any specialist topic connected with the care, management, health, training and life of alpacas and the shearing and processing of their fleece. It`s current practice is to meet just before lunch on a Sunday and to enjoy a buffet or other meal, as part of the occasion. Visits to places of related interest are also arranged. There is no membership fee, but a charge for those attending each meeting is made to cover the cost of food and drink and to leave a small surplus to cover postage and other incidental costs.
