Convenors Report

Several key changes to the llama compound as well as attendance rules were important elements of this year’s Christchurch show. The new larger judging area was an important improvement, especially as the old judging area had been changed into an adjacent holding area which permitted the classes to smoothly flow one into another. Entering the holding area from the compound itself through a new gate also facilitated llama movement. Inside the compound, deer pens had been introduced for the safeguard of intact males and were available to exhibitors who wishes to employ them. This certainly did contribute to a more relaxed show for a number of llama owners. For the first time, llama owners could select which days their llamas would attend the Show. All exhibitors took advantage of this option. Another feature was that llamas did not require to be TB tested prior to attending. Manuel de Patagonia was selected as Supreme Champion and went forward for Best of Show honours, being called forward in a shortlist of 5 and receiving complimentary comments from the MC. Next year will enable us to build on this year’s success. We are asking for a volunteer to become Convenor for the 2017 Show, our thoughts are that a small team to share the effort has advantages over an individual. Keith Payne, Convenor 2016
