The BAS National Show 2023 is a real showcase of British alpacas – both suri and huacaya. It is very professionally run with live streaming of both show rings. The judging this year was by Natasha Clark (AUS), Amanda Vanden Bosch (USA) aided by Roger Clark and Barbara Hetherington (both UK). The Fleece Show was judged by Roger Clark. The fibre zone judge was Val Fullerlove.
We look forward to going back in 2024!
