💥Do You Want to Make an Impact on Young People’s Lives?💥

We are looking for members of the community to join the squadron as part of our civilian committee!

Our civilian committee is vital to the running of our amazing squadron, and all the awesome things you see our cadets get up to would not be made possible without the background support of our committee.

You require no formal qualifications, and all we need from you is a couple hours of your time every 2 months. So, if you are looking for a way to give back to the community, then joining the 1165 family as a committee member might be the perfect opportunity for you!

To find out more information DM us and email the squadron at: [email protected]

A busy evening for 1165sqn on Tuesday.
We were honoured in having senior members of West Mercian Wing Staff attending our Civilian Committee (Civcom )meeting. Wing Chair Ryan Phillips, Wing Treasurer Su Stone & Lead Trustee Marcus Hall were highly impressed by the performance & involvement of our Civcom team, without their vital role our Sqn couldn't continue.
Meanwhile the Cadets were having lessons in drill dress & discipline. Moulding the beret in the photo is one of our new recruits & did an excellent job in creating a superbly moulded head gear.
The Sqn also had a mysterious outbreak of facial fur growth with the cadets demonstrating various "Aviator" interpretations inspired by our CO's very own hairy caterpillar.
If as an adult you would like to help out with a fantastic youth organization by using your skills & contacts to broaden their horizons, then join our Civcom & become a Trustee of the Squadron.
As a Trustee you will also have the opportunity to take part or help out in some of the Squadron activities with only the requirement to attend a handful of times a year for a couple of hours.
Please feel free to email the Squadron or drop in on one of our Parade Evenings for a chat at our Willow Street HQ. Tues or Fri eve 18.30 - 21.00
