Former GB Paralympic team manager David HILTON has passed away
Lilleshall (GBR) – 6 December 2011
David HILTON, 55, Secretary of the British Wheelchair Archery Association (BWAA), who has organised the successful Stoke Mandeville Para-Archery Invitational Event for the last seven years, died suddenly on 4 December 2011.
He has been involved with BWAA for many years and was also the Archery Manager for Great Britain for the Athens Paralympics in 2004.
He has always worked to improve access to sport for those with a disability and he will be sadly missed.
He had already started the preparations for the tournament to be held in June 2012. When his collaborators have had the opportunity to appraise the situation, they will announce their intentions concerning the event. They hope that they can continue with this in memory of David.
Our condolences go to David's family.
