Bio - Rotorua show 2024

We are very pleased to announce that Jillian Elwers has agreed to judge the Rotorua show 2024. She is very excited to come and judge at the Rotorua show. There will be a chance to chat with Jillian after the show at a BBQ to be held at the farm of Denise and Bruce Taplin (250 Endean Road RD2 Ngongotaha Valley Rotorua).

This will be a stand alone show as the Rotorua A&P have moved their show to early December. At this new date in December we put on an alpaca display with help from Brenor Alpaca - Brenda and Ivor Gainsford, Surico Alpaca - Sue Richards and her grandchildren, Greenbank Alpaca - Ruth Hutton and Pete Jackson and Bruden Alpaca - Denise Taplin. In return Rotorua A&P will generously continue to sponsor our alpaca show on Anniversary weekend.

Judge Profile - Jillian Elwers (Level 2 Judge)
Jillian has run her stud since 1998 and has been successfully been showing and breeding a herd of approximately 100 suri and huacaya alpacas of all colours in Victoria.
Jillian commenced alpaca judging in 2012. She attained her level 2 status in 2014. She has judged many shows across Australia and is a keen advocate that showing is to be fun and educational for both exhibitors and spectators.
In addition to her alpaca passion and judging, Jillian has two teenage sons to help keep her busy with their motorbike racing, soccer, and air force cadet commitments. She breeds and shows British bulldogs and Bengal cats. Jillian is a qualified dog and cat groomer and runs her own grooming salon and shop.

UPDATE ON SHOWING ALPACAS AT THIS YEAR’S CANTERBURY A & P SHOW, 14 NOVEMBER
Many of you will have read and listened to news about the challenges that our Association has faced not only this year but also over the past several years.
But we now have a new Board of Directors with Sir David Carter leading as the Chair. The previous General Manager has also left and Peter Engels from Hazletts is now acting GM.
Canterbury A & P Assn Show has been saved this year by Event Hire who have undertaken to run the Entertainment, Trade and Food areas on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
All livestock sections will be running only on Thursday and Friday this year. Some of the sections have cut their classes back to fit into the two days.
The Wool Section has opted to run this year with their display in a marquee along Deans Avenue between the alpaca ring and the Shearing Pavilion.
All entries are on-line.
The Alpaca Schedule is available by clicking the link below:
