The above photo shows a emotonal Alec Knott presenting The Arabian Trophy in memory of his wife Mrs Lynn Knott, to the Champion Arabian at Cheshire County show. 

When this trophy is presented every year, those of us who were priviliged enough to call Lynn a friend, will remember her and recall what a super lady she was, and how much of her time she gave freely to the Arabian Horse

Alec remains a stalwart member of the North Staffs Committee, as well as a familiar face around the Arab Shows. 

Congratulations to

Mr & Mrs G Stone
