A rare insight into a more relaxed approach to a CRMCU evening.
Our cadets took on the challenge of Halloween wearing alternatives to uniform and taking part in a variety of games and competitions set up by our UMT Pink Ladies.
No cadets were hurt in the making of these photos 🤪 but did require a scrub up after an alternative version of Apple bobbing with cream
