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.

Relay For Life has finally arrived!
The link to the team pack is below with all the details throughout the day as well as the kit list, however there will be a final brief Friday evening for all those attending.
As per previous years we will be unable to provide tents as they are being used in other areas of the event. You will need to arrive at the hut at 08:30 on the Saturday and we should be finishing around 15:00 on the Sunday afternoon.
It would be nice for more cadets to attend this event, not only to support the Squadron in this event but the wider community.
