Gladiators

It was with sadness that our Secretary David Wilkin annonced last night the death of Dave Betts.

Dave died recently and David found this out only the other day.

Dave Betts was a large, affable chap who had a huge beard. He occasionally appeared at the club, most noteably at the AGM. Often he would be supporting the club at the Milton Keynes show each May.

David, Barry and myself first met him co-incidently at Peter Guilders Wargames Holiday Centre in the early 1980's and it was only some 20 years that he reappeared as a bus driver in Bedford and joined our club.

Sadly missed - another Gladiator has fallen in the game.

RIP

For those of the gang who aren't too familiar with Dave, you can see a picture of him if you scroll down the first page of The Bedford Gladiators website. Drop down to the Battle of Paraitacene - he's the chap with the large tache clutching the Costa Coffee cup!

RIP Dave Betts - Gladiator and Bus Driver!
