The event finishes at about 1730 so it is likely that we will return to the Squadron HQ between 1900 and 2000,
Uniform
Uniform for the day is smart No3 (CS 95 combat clothing). Please ensure that these are smart and presentable and that your boots have been polished. All cadets attending MUST have a beret, we are aware that we have a shortage at the moment so please arrange to borrow a beret of someone who is not going on Friday, if you do not have one.
Cadets taking part in the drill competition should bring their No1 uniform (light blue shirt and tie) as well as a Jumper and ATC anorak.
In addition cadets should pack a pair of trainers to take part in the sports or climbing wall. Sports kit is NOT required,
Forms and ID
All cadets must be in possession of their 3822 with a photo in it. In addition all cadets should complete a TG21 form (and TG23 as necessary). These are to be handed to Sgt Roberton (Team Manager prior to getting on the bus).
