I would like to express my gratitude to the Cadets that attended and supported this years Wing Activities Day, we put in a great effort, and I was really pleased with the performances of our Cadets on the day. It was great to see you coming together as a team after all the hard work you have put in as a Squadron.

This year we placed joint 17th out of the 26 Squadrons that entered

I was very impressed with the high standard of Drill, which is a testament to hours and hours on the Drill Square…well done as we placed 7th overall in Drill! also there were good performances in the First Aid & Initiative Tasks.

I’m already looking forward to next years event, let’s see if we can go one better.
