Subscriptions
By now all cadets parents/guardians should have received a letter notifying them of subscription payments for 2015. This is just a reminder that subs (either in full or as quarterly payments) should ideally be paid by the end of January 2015. If your parent/guardian has not received a letter please let us know.
We are also aware that in the current economic climate there may be some difficulty in paying subs. If this is the case please approach a member of staff so arrangements can be made to resolve any issues.

End of the Year
As we draw closer to the end of the year and Christmas I would just like to thank you, the cadets, for your efforts this year. As a Squadron we have taken part in a huge range of activities this year and you have achieved so much both within the ATC and your support to the local community. The Squadron has gone from strength to strength in numbers and we have now expanded to three Flights.
Of course none of this would have been possible without the Staff Team who have supported myself and the Squadron throughout the year, giving up their evenings and a lot of weekends so that we can take part in so many activities. Thanks goes as well to the Civilian Committee who have been busy working away in the background raising funds for the Squadron.
All that remains is to wish you all a Great Christmas and a Happy New year.
Have a great Christmas!

Want the chance to throw Ice Cold Water at FS(ATC) Symonds!
I have been ‘nominated for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (http://www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge.html) and just to make it more of a challenge, I’m giving the cadets and staff the chance to throw ice water at me.
The deal is simple, bring a £5 donation and a bucket this Friday for the pleasure!
Thanks very much in advance and spread the word.
