We are missing a Champion!
The Salisbury WA70 takes place in a couple of weeks and we are missing the last white horse trophy.
His name is Champion and he represents the Compound Men category. This was last won by Steve Newton in 2015, handed back to the TO at that time in 2016 and since then seems to have left the corral.
Could you all take a look in your garage, attic and back pockets, to see if we can lasso the last horse!
If Champion is found, please contact John Prior on 07887 923389
Thanks
