On the 14th of December we have an opertunity to visit Ferndown fire station. This is a cadet night so the sqn will be closed, meet outside the fire station at 19:00 and will be finishing 21:30.

For any more info see Sgt Roberton.

I would like to personally thank all those cadets who turned out for the Dorset Plane Pull.  Both to pull the aircraft and help the smooth running of the event.

Peter and Linda Thornton of the John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation have asked me to pass on their thanks for your efforts on the day.  The Squadron mananged to raise a whopping £575.00 for the JTYAF and this combined with 149 Poole Squadron raised an overall amount of £819.85.

For all those cadets attending the plane pull, please ensure you have raised the minimum amount of money which is £20 before the pull, as you will need to hand it in on the day. The timings for the day will be 09:30 – 17:00, you will be asked to help out doing various duties to help run the event. If any cadets need to leave earlier they can.  The time for our teams pull is 11:00. Any one requiring sponsor forms needs to attend cadets Friday, I will be putting an electronic copy on Friday night.

1. Please make sure your that all team members bring photo ID (passport/driving licence) they can’t pull without it
2. Please arrive 45 minutes before your pull time
3. Team Captain to report to the JTYAF tent on arrival, with the completed cover sheet (attached) together with a completed waiver form for each team member and the £400 pulling fee. We can only take cheque or cash (We will only need Team Captains at this stage)
4. Once all the paperwork has been checked as present and correct Pete will take you over to the Plane Pull team to register (no later than 20 minutes before the pull). At this point you will need to collect the whole team together – each team member will need to present their photo ID as they won’t be able to pull without it
5. Gloves – a good idea to advise team members to wear gloves to prevent any rope burn
6. All pullers must be over 14 years of age
7. If the weather’s dodgey please check the Plane Pull website http://www.planepull.co.uk/ or their Facebook page to make sure that the event is still going ahead. If you let us have your mobile number we will phone you if the event is cancelled just as soon as we have the news.
