The Club is very sad to announce the death of Ron Noble on Sunday 20th September.
Ron joined the club in 1980 following a very successful period as a semi-professional footballer playing for Bedford Town and others. After a couple of years competing primarily in local cross country and road races he redirected his talents to coaching the Under 15 Boys. He coached a large group of lads for many years before finally hanging up his stop watch in the late 1990’s. In this role he had considerable success, with both individuals and teams winning medals at both
Area and National level. Our current Boys Endurance Coach James Danobrega was himself coached by Ron in the early 1990’s. Ron was a former winner of the Club’s Peter Kot Trophy for Club Person of the Year.
There will be a celebration of Ron's life on Tuesday 3rd November at Mowsbury Golf Club at 2pm.
