As previously announced, the Dorset Cadet Challenge will take place on Sunday 18th March at Stanley Barracks, Bovington.

The format will be the same as last year, with live L98 shooting again replacing the DCCT element.

Team selection will take place with a number of training events during February and March, although cadets wishing to take part will need to be physically fit and ideally have some knowledge of the L98 weapon.

I have received initial indications of interest from 2391,171,2182 and 874. If any other units are interested in cadets taking part, please let me know no later than Friday 3 February with a brief indication of numbers and sex. The current plan is to enter two teams minimum, with potential for a third subject to space and demand.

Names of interested cadets by Friday 03 Feb 12.
