Well done, cadets! 🎖️

Seven Cadets from RAMC Detachment passed their Basic board last week, and now begin the next stage of their ACF adventure.

Their hard work, commitment and teamwork have paid off, and we couldn’t be prouder. The next challenge awaits, and we know they’ll take it on with the same determination.

Congratulations to all seven, and thank you to the staff and instructors who helped get them there. 👏

🎃 HALLOWEEN FUN AT ST MARY’S DETACHMENT! 👻

There were plenty of spooky goings-on at St Mary’s Detachment tonight as our cadets enjoyed a Halloween-themed evening!

Activities included some fantastic pumpkin carving, with creations ranging from a Batman pumpkin to a rather gruesome Bloody Pumpkin! 🎃 We also enjoyed the traditional Halloween game of bobbing for apples. 🍎

The evening finished with our best dressed competition, with the prize proudly awarded to Cadet Donaldson for their fantastic Halloween outfit! 🧛

A great evening of fun, laughter and team spirit. Well done to everyone who took part, and a big thank you to the adults who helped make the evening a success!
