Update on Eligibility for Gibraltar Camp
Annual Camp, Wing Event
Comments Off on Update on Eligibility for Gibraltar Camp
Aug 242012
The original post from Wing HQ did not contain the exact criteria for attending an Overseas Camp. I have consulted ACP 237 ‘Air Cadet Annual Camps Administrative Instructions’ and its states that cadets must meet the following criteria to attend an Overeas Camp:
“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.”
Please ensure that you meet these criteria before applying.

Comments Off on Memorial Dedication to Flt Lt Jon Egging Red Arrows Cadets Required 29 Aug 12

There will be a dedication service in Bournemouth on Wednesday 29 August for the memorial to Flt Lt Jon Egging of the RAFAT. This is being hosted by the Mayor of Bournemouth and Dr Emma Egging of the Jon Egging Trust.
There will be a reception at the Miramar Hotel, followed by the unveiling of the memorial and return to the Miramar Hotel on the East Cliff. At the request of Dr Egging and Bournemouth Council, we have been asked to provide cadets to line the route from the hotel to the memorial and back, in recognition of the link to both the RAF and the Air Cadets and the goals of the Jon Egging Trust.
Following a recce with WO Hutchinson (SE Sector WO) and WO Green (OIC130) yesterday, we have concluded that ideally 50 cadets will be required along with supervisory staff in the ratio of at least 1:10.
Dress for the day will be Wedgewood Blue with Tie, No1 for staff.
Arrival on site will be approximately 1230 and all activities are expected to be concluded by 1430.
Any cadets interested in supporting this event should put their names forward on Friday night.
