It is with the greatest sadness that we must announce the passing of Derrick Lovell MBE.

For so many of us, Derrick wasn't just a colleague, a mentor, or a friend; he was a pillar of the archery world, a man whose passion and dedication helped shape the sport we love.

There are so many achievements of note in Derrick life, but still, I think Derricks greatest and proudest moments would be to see those he helped achieve their goals.

The Air Ambulance was a charity very close to Derrick's heart and his family have requested donations to this cause rather than flowers.

Details of the funeral will be shared in due course, however in the mean time, please take this opportunity to add a comment about your memories of Derrick and how special he was to all of us.
