The Clifton Hampden Longbow Society

'a drinking club with a traditional archery problem!'

Peter 'Dobbs' Madden sadly passed away on Friday 31st January 2020 after a long battle with cancer.

He was one of the founding members of Clifton Hampden Longbow Society and until fairly recently was an active member of the club. He had many roles - from leading the committee, to setting out the flags, scoring, making bows and for a long time being the club's main arrow maker. He loved to laugh and relished in entertaining everyone with his funny speeches and stories! Peter was extremely passionate about CHLS and would love nothing more than to see the club he helped found keep going; drawing new members in and most importantly maintaining tradition.

Peter will forever be an honourary member of the club; he has a trophy named after him and will be honoured with the ILAA/Club's black & white arrow ceremonies.
