They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

On Sunday, 48 of our Cadets showed their respect to the fallen.
Them who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom must never be forgotten.

Good Evening all.
Unfortunately we will continue to be closed this week but we have set up a Teams call from 730pm for all Cadets so that they dont fall behind in lessons etc.
Can all Cadets please check our private Facebook group and WhatApp group for the link to join the call.
You will ideally need a Laptop or Tablet.
Dont need teams installed, can join as a guest and access the lessons via Webpage access.

Hopefully we will be back open next Monday🤞

Stay safe folks and see you next week!

Last night we focused on Leadership - our more senior cadets took a step back as many of our junior cadets took the opportunity to be a leader.

The night started with an introduction to leadership principles, group roles and the SMEAC briefing format.

Then the cadets got to have a go leading small teams to complete a variety of challenges and tasks.

It was a very enjoyable night with some very confident future leaders successfully leading their groups.
