Master William Darlington:
We would like to pay tribute to a man who has lived and breathed taekwondo and taekwondoscotland.
He is what can be described as the founding father of taekwondoscotland and is partly responsible for the inception of The Commonwealth Taekwondo Union.
We hope each and every person who was part of The 2014 Commonwealth Championships realises that without him; the whole concept of these events may never have been born.
Everyone at taekwondoscotland and throught the World taekwondo family should wish him a
happy "retirement" from The Chairperson position. Well done Master Chairman!
