The British Llama Society is a brand new organisation with a twenty-one year history! In 1986 the British Camelids Association was set up as a registered charity and breed society, to represent the interests in the UK of Alpacas, Llamas, Guanacos and Vicuna (collectively referred to as 'camelids’). Such has been the growth of the camelid community, alpacas and llamas in particular, that in 2005 it was agreed to restructure British Camelids.
The plan was to divest British Camelids of its breed society functions and concentrate solely on welfare, educational, and charitable objectives. Members owning alpacas were to be transferred to the British Alpaca Society and those owning llamas into the new British Llama Society (BLS).
This restructure is complete and so we have great pleasure in welcoming you to our 'under construction' website. Meanwhile we hope these temporary pages will be helpful and reflect the fact that Llamas are great fun and a delight to own. We have great plans for the website so do please keep returning – and, better still, we have great plans for BLS so do please join us so that you can benefit from those plans and contribute to their fruition!
