The Squadron will be selling Annual Draw Tickets at Haskins Garden Centre Ferndown on Sat 27 and Sun 28 Jul 13.

The event will run from 1000 – 1300 on each day and will be split down into 2 shifts:

  • 0945 – 1100
  • 1045 – 1300

The purpose of the Annual Draw is to raise money for Squadron Funds to allow us to purchase equipment and take part in some activities.   This is one of only two fund raising activities we do for the Squadron in the year so I am expecting good support from cadets on the Squadron.  Names will be taken in the Events FOlder on Final Parade on the nights running up to the activity.
