PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENT

A fantastic evening as we made a number of well deserved promotions within our NCO Team.

Please join us in welcoming our new Corporals Cpl Zak Evans, Cpl George Hendy and Cpl Alfie Jackson. We also saw the much anticipated promotion of Sgt Mario Bujor, followed by promotions to Flight Sergeant for FS Phoebe Evans and FS Jasper Rigg.

These promotions are a significant achievement and reflect the hard work, commitment and leadership demonstrated by each of them. They have shown that they can take responsibility, set an example to others, support their peers and make a positive contribution to Squadron life. With promotion comes greater responsibility and an even greater opportunity to influence and support the cadets around them.

What makes evenings like this particularly special is seeing just how much these promotions mean to the cadets receiving them. It was brilliant to see the genuine excitement and pride from their peers as they congratulated them, particularly those who were hoping for promotion themselves on this occasion.

It is important to remember that not being promoted on this occasion does not mean that anyone is doing a bad job or that their contribution is not valued. Everyone develops at their own pace and there is always more than one route to demonstrating that you are ready for the next step. Our staff and SNCO team will continue to work alongside those cadets, helping them develop their skills, build their confidence and identify the areas that will help them progress. Keep working hard and supporting one another!

Congratulations to all of our newly promoted NCOs. You have earned it, and we are looking forward to seeing what you do next.

🏆 THREE YEARS. THREE TITLES. ONE SQUADRON. 🏆

What a performance from our cadets.

🥇 1st – Shooting

After an incredible challenge from 561 Aberystwyth Squadron, who came very close to ending our winning streak, 1092 once again finish at the very top.

A shared 1st place overall this year with 561 Aberystwyth — a fantastic achievement for both Squadrons and a testament to just how competitive the day was.

Outstanding effort, teamwork and determination from every single one of our cadets.

Three Years. Three Titles. One Squadron.

We may have been busy out on DofE, but that didn’t stop our cadets from supporting the Mayor’s Civic Service in Bridgend Town!

A fantastic opportunity for our cadets to represent 1092 (Bridgend) Squadron, support our local community, and take part in such an important civic occasion.

Proud to see our cadets and staff getting involved both on and off the hill!
