Don Beven
We have received the very sad news that long standing member Don Beven passed away in late December, aged 94. Don was a club member for many, many years, experiencing orienteering until his early 80s. Since then he was awarded Honorary Membership of the club. Don has been described as a legend within the Scout movement, having been involved in Scouting in Bexley for over 60 years, most recently as District Chairman. Our sympathies extend to his family.
