WING FIELD DAY & PROMOTIONS

The last weekend of June saw the Squadron take part in Wing Field Day, competing against the other Squadrons in the Wing in a variety of events: drill, banner drill, first aid, leadership, cryptography, shooting, and simulator task were amongst a number of other events the team took part in.

For many of the team, this was their first Wing Field Day so we are incredibly proud of how they prepared, and how they represented the Squadron on the day!

We also took the opportunity to promote some of our Cadets. A huge congratulations also goes to our new Corporals, Fell, Jupp and Najafli who were promoted after their consistent efforts on Squadron. We look forward to seeing them in their new roles!

We also handed out our Cadet of the Month award to Cadet Hettle - congratulations!

VOLUNTEERS' WEEK FINALE

We have had a great week celebrating all our volunteers do for the Squadron and Corps, last but by no means least, we have our OC, Flight Lieutenant Horstead!

"Volunteering, for me, is a way of giving back. I joined the ATC aged 13 and stayed a Cadet until I joined the Royal Air Force at 18 years old. During my time as a Cadet I flew Chipmunks, obtained an advanced gliding certificate and was a staff cadet at 613 Gliding School. I shot in both small bore and full bore ri**es, representing the Region and the Corp in National competitions. I went on various camps, including Germany and Malta and was lucky enough to be selected to go to the USA on the International Air Cadet Exchange Scheme. To say the Air Cadets changed my life is an understatement, so I feel privileged to be in a position where I can help young adults to be the best version of themselves that they can be."

We hope you have enjoyed reading all about our wonderful volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering with us, sign up to our Adult Volunteer open evening where you can learn all about what we do and what you can achieve with us - give as much or as little time as you'd like!

VOLUNTEERS' WEEK - CIVILIAN COMMITTEE

Another volunteering force on the Squadron is the Civilian Committee, they manage the Squadron finances, support events and keep us running behind the scenes - here's why the Secretary, Richard Slack, is with us!

"I started as an Air Cadet at the age of 13 and worked through the ranks to Cadet Flight Sergeant, where I reached the upper age limit so had to hang up my uniform. I then continued my service as a Civilian Instructor at 104 (City of Cambridge) Squadron and later went back into uniform as an Officer. In 2013 I ended almost 30 years with the ATC as Commanding Officer of 104 Squadron as life events made continued service impossible.
My time with the Air Cadets taught me so much and gave me a level of self confidence that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. Being part of a team with common goals and seeing generations of young people achieve their potential in a wide range of activities was incredibly rewarding and something I will remember with pride forever.

With my own sons growing up, it was logical to encourage them to try the Air Cadets for themselves and, when my eldest heard about the recruitment evening for 105 (Cambourne) Squadron last September he jumped at the chance to join. When the Squadron then called for people to join the Civilian Committee it felt like a real opportunity for me to support the Squadron in a practical way and, in April, I took on the role of Secretary. The Civilian Committee are responsible for the finances and governance of the Squadron - supporting their activities with funding and ensuring that the money is spent wisely.

Whilst I have only been involved with the Squadron for a short time I have been made very welcome by the Staff team and look forward to seeing the Cadet and Staff numbers grow and their achievements stack-up as the months and years pass."

VOLUNTEERS' WEEK

As we near the end of our Volunteers' Week spotlight, we are celebrating our Training Officer, CI Kressy!

"I joined the Air Cadets at 13 as a shy bot with a dream of flying. The ATC completely transformed me, building the self-confidence that allowed me to represent Great Britain Cadet R***e Team in Canada, attend university, and serve as an RAF Officer for 25 years.

Now, I'm volunteering to put something back into the organisation that gave me everything. My aim is to help today’s young people realise their ambitions and make a positive contribution to society through the Air Training Corps. Plus, as an added bonus, the adult staff team is brilliant to work with! It's a really welcoming community, and it's been fantastic making new friends with such a great, like-minded bunch of people."

VOLUNTEERS' WEEK

We are carrying on our volunteer celebration through the weekend! The 5th instalment of what volunteering means to our staff is from CI Harvey:

"I volunteer at Air Cadets because I want to give back to an organisation that brings so much to young people. You don’t need a military background (I don’t), just a passion for enriching young people’s lives. In a world where it can be difficult to engage teens in activities, it’s important to provide opportunities that support a variety of interests. I’ve learned a lot about aircraft, first aid, space, radio, and more, and I hope to keep on learning. There are so many opportunities for volunteers as well as young people. I was pleasantly surprised by how seriously staff development is taken. It’s a great organisation to be a part of!"

VOLUNTEERS' WEEK

This evening we are shining the spotlight on CI Hollis, here's what she had to say about volunteering at 105!

"As a Cadet I was fortunate to gain skills and experiences which sparked my imagination and consistently pushed me out of my comfort zone. I was able to forge friendships with other young people on both local and national events. The support of adult staff volunteering their time to make events happen enabled me to gain the confidence to do all of this.

After a break for university and to establish my career I missed the comradery and varied training programme. I do not have a military background but being a Civilian Instructor enables me to volunteer when I can around work commitments.

I've been back as an adult volunteer for 6 years and in that time have been able to gain a variety of experiences and support delivery of activities including first aid, shooting, presentation skills, radio and fieldcraft amd social events. I enjoy the sense of pride when a cadet achieves something they didn't think they initially could. Seeing the young people support each other and work together to achieve is always fulfilling. I also enjoy the social aspect of volunteering with such a lovely team at Camboure Squadron."
