First Class Presentation Evening

Thursday 14th May

Congratulations to Cadets Hall, Lacey, Owen, Thomas, and Thomas-Lord who all received their first class badges and certificates.



First Class classification allows you access to most events, and you should definately all now look at attending annual camp, this year at RAF Boulmer, http://www.raf.mod.uk/rafboulmer/

Mayday Fete

When I looked at the weather forecast I wasnt hopeful for a fun day. I arrived at the squadron, met the NCOs and we wandered down and met some more cadets at the rec.
You put the tents up quickly, and prepared the leaflets, the cockpit arrived and Cdt Percy marshalled it in. There was a steady stream of people coming to look in the cockpit and Cdt Owen did a good job of pointing out the various controls. Cpl Jones and Cdt Hollins marshalled younger children to try on the helmet (as long as Cdt Lacey wasn't wearing it, which he was for most of the day!)
Cpl Oldrey no doubt has some new stories to tell us about the historical side of the RAF from all the people that approached him. The poster displays and leaflets were distributed to all those who were keen, and I can only assume the fact that most of the army cadets were loitering for the day means that they are about to see sense and swop units?!
It was good to see so many of you, and I think we achieved our aim of raising local awareness and recruiting some new faces. Now we need to keep persuading your friends at school to come down and see what makes us the best youth organisation in Towcester.
