This has come up quite suddenly and there is an extremely short time to apply for any of those who wish to attend. Wing has been allocated 3 places for Easter Camp at Cyprus from 11-20 Apr 2014.

Wing are only interested in cadets who can DEFINITELY attend. This means that you have the agreement of your parents and sufficient funding.

The cost of the Camp is £280.00 Cadets wishing to attend must meet the following criteria:

Cadets selected to attend overseas camps must be at least 15 years of age at the start of their respective camp. Additionally cadets must have attended at least one UK, or equivalent ATC-organised, camp of at least one week’s duration.

Any cadets who wish to attend must contact me by email oc.2358@aircadets.org by 1800 hours on Wednesday 05 Feb 14. I will then put your name forward to Wing HQ. Note that this is no guarantee that you will attend the camp as Wing HQ are responsible for the selection of cadets for the Camp.

Uniform Update

 Not Front Page, Squadron News  Comments Off on Uniform Update
Feb 032014
 

An update on the uniform situation has been recently received from HQ Air Cadets. There is basically no change, in that the RAF is still short of uniform and the ATC will have to wait until stocks become available.

To attempt to alleviate the situation, within the sector we are able to ask other Sqns for specific items of uniform. The shortages however, extend mainly to Berets, Badges and Black Ties. These are in short supply across all Squadrons. Please note that the Sqn has already spent £140.00 to attempt to resolve this issue.

Therefore, with great reluctance, I am requesting that if we do not have Berets, Badges or Black ties available that cadets purchase their own for the foreseeable future. If this is not possible due to financial issues please come and talk to a member of staff and we will attempt to resolve the issue through other channels financially.

I will post further news as it becomes available from HQ Air Cadets.
