Wing Activities Day

 Achievement, Wing Event  Comments Off on Wing Activities Day
Sep 212015
 

I would like to personally thank all those cadets and staff who turned out to support the Squadron at Wing Activities Day yesterday, as well of those of you who worked up to the event but were unable to attend.  Through your efforts we have secured an overall 5th place in the competition, the highest the Squadron has achieved in recent years.  I am sure WO Haywood and FS Roberton endured a considerable amount of singing on the bus on the way back.

Though you all contributed to the sucess of the Squadron it is important to recognise the efforts of individuals specifically:

Sgt Conner Team Manager

Sgt Payne for her win in the Over 16 Public Speaking

Cpl Curtis for his individual win in photography

The First Aid Team for their First Place

Cpl O’Hare and the Drill Squad/Banner Team whose work put us in an impressive 4th place overall in drill – only one point behind the 3rd place team.

Overall this was a very sucessful event for the Squadron and you should all be proud to have represented your Squadron and achieved so much on the day.
