In February 1998 an article appeared in one of Nottingham's local newspapers entitled
"Missing link - our Robin Hood Society"

The article posed the question;
"what do Leeds, Toronto, Amsterdam and Sydney have that Nottingham doesn't?

Answer:
A Society dedicated to Nottingham's very own folk hero Robin Hood"


The point was rightly made that that a Society would give people the chance to have fun, make friends and learn more about the legend.
The article went on to say "people could join up and receive official membership certificates, photographs and the like"

This got us thinking hard and long about what we could do to put this situation right. It just seemed crazy to us that Nottingham was lacking a focus for the most important part of its heritage.

We were already involved in the internet, designing other peoples' websites. And living as we do, in the heart of Robin Hood Country, we hit on the idea of a Robin Hood Society, not just for Nottingham, but a Society for anyone in the world who shares our passion for our history.

So all of a sudden it made sense. We would use the "power of the Internet" to unleash the "power of the Bow". Through this medium we would act as a true focus for Robin Hood, promoting our heritage, providing a resource for anyone who wants to use it and fulfilling the call for a Robin Hood Society here in Nottingham.

It's an ambitious plan, but from our initial thoughts, the Worldwide Robin Hood Society was born. Now we need you to join us.

We want this site to develop in line with your needs and interests. If you have a story, article, view or enquiry, simply let us know and we will try to incorporate it on the site.

Use our forums or add your name to our Outlaws Lair directory to make new friends over the internet.
