I am committed to supporting the NZLA for the wellbeing of the llamas here in New Zealand. I like to promote llamas and do fundraising for charities etc. I also go to resthomes and visit schools to show their gentleness and to explain their uses.

Jacky Middleton Nominated by Robyn Robinson Seconded by Alex Robinson
Last year I was nominated as a volunteer committee member and have enjoyed being part of such a proactive and positive team. I have been involved with llamas for six years and now have 22 llamas roaming on our 26 acre block. My llamas are a huge part of my family and are such great friends. I love being part of the llama world and feel so blessed to be in its field.

Robyn Robinson Nominated by Jacky Middleton Seconded by Alex Robinson
Llamas are my life. I enjoy llamas mainly to gaze in awe at their beauty and to laugh at the silly things they do. They have taken over our home and are an extension of our family. We love everything about them from having babies, to using their fibre, to trekking and showing. My husband, Mike and two children, Flax and Ferne are very supportive of my addiction particularly with our adventure into Suri llamas.  I have thoroughly enjoyed being on the NZLA committee and I am happy to continue for the 2009/10 year. I would do my best to promote “Green Lights for Llamas”.

Emma Schwithal Nominated by Mike Richardson Seconded by Lynn Richardson
I have been the Treasurer for NZLA from the beginning and am happy to continue for the coming year.

Peter Webster Nominated by Raewyn McKenzie Seconded by Penny King
I am happy to be on committee again for this year. I’ve been Secretary since we began in 2003 and I would be happy to carry on in the same role.
