There's no I in Team

Cadets enjoyed a multiple of leadership and teambuilding activities led by Flying Officer Wright. They were tested in their communication abilities to work as a team, as well as electing a leader to make the decisions. These skills will be useful for all parts of cadet life, but specifically for those who want to try for promotion. 


This photo shows bonding belt, the cadets are connected together with clingfilm and then have to set a time across a mini Olympics course. We also did some blindfolded tasks, a balance activity and a spidersweb course.

A look back at 2015


Following another successful year, on the 27th February the squadron celebrated the achievements of individuals and of the unit in the annual presentation evening. Many special guests, including the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Chris Middleton, attended this event. Special thanks goes to two members who entertained us: the evening’s vice, Cadet Wilson and Flight Sergeant Webb who played the bagpipes. Here’s to another great year! 

The cadets make the decision for each award very hard with the amount of effort and dedication they all put in.

Cdt Wilson – Sports Award 
Cdt Broomhead – Best Cadet 
CWO Dovey – Best NCO 
Sgt Weyman – Commitment to squadron 
Cdt Smith T – Academic Award
