Welsh and West Angora Goat Club

We are a self-help group ranging from experienced goat-keepers to complete beginners, based mainly in the West of England and along the Welsh borders.

Our aim is to promote the caring and responsible ownership of angora goats.

Our interests include:
  - general husbandry and welfare,
  - breeding and showing,
  - mohair fleece production,
  - mohair processing and craft aspects
  (including hand-spinning, weaving
  and dyeing)
- meat marketing.

We meet about 6 times a year, for workshops and teaching sessions (usually held at the home of one of our members), visits to places of interest and purely social get-togethers. We often hold club shows and competitions. There is always something new to learn, and we have lots of fun in the process. 

The club posesses a shearing machine and headgate which is available for hire to members.

We can also arrange for the sale of your mohair through British Mohair Marketing.

We club together to make bulk purchases such as equipment, feed or mineral supplements.

We produce three entertaining and informative newsletters per year to keep members up to date with our own activities and to pass on any information from The British Angora Goat Society (BAGS, our parent society), DEFRA and the Goat Veterinary Society.

Whatever your interest in angoras, and whatever your level of knowledge, there will be something for you in Welsh and West Angora Goats - do join us! Annual subscription rates are £10 for single membership or £15 for double/family. Contact us on 01432 880936 for more information.
