Just had a PM from PD - hope it's all in the past but might be worth keeping eyes and ears open just in case....
Sydney Barwick
Wondered when he'd turn up again.
How well do you lads know him?
Chubby lad - wears spectacles.....
VERY CONFIDENTIAL WORD TO THE WISE - Syd was turned out of our re-enactment unit some years ago for theft...... Please keep this to yourself and anyone responsible at events - but if you get or have had incidents then remember this warning. I still have copies of the letters we sent him.
Regards
PD
My reply:
Cheers, thanks for the info. I've known him for the past year and was aware that he had had a reenacting past as well as memorabilia/surplus dealing. A couple of us have been to his house, met his family and so have address and telephone numbers. He is working as a security guard, last I heard.
So, we'll keep our eyes and ears open - let's hope it's all in the past. Once again, thanks for the word to the wise.

Very interesting. If it's true, then I hope syd has turned over a new leaf. If he hasn't, then, well, we'll deal with it if and when it happens.
Good response by the way C-W.

I always give the benefit of the doubt until proved wrong with everyone . Syd's a bit of a plonker 9like us all ?) , but I still reckon he's ok AFAIK .
