We had the pleasure of enrolling four new cadets to our Squadron. Over the past few months they have learnt basic drill, RAF and RAFAC History and what it means to be an Air Cadet and they are now fully fledged members of the Royal Air Force Air Cadets.

See yourself doing the same? We’ll be hosting an Open Evening in October. Visit our website to register your interest.

A massive thank you to the Mayor of Sawbridgeworth, Councillor Pagdades. We were nominated as one of the Mayor’s charities where the council would help fundraise. Last week we were invited to Sawbridgeworth’s Awards Evening where the manor announced that they had raised an astonishing £2,526!

This money goes a really long way to helping us grow as a squadron and deliver even better experiences for the teenagers of Sawbridgeworth, and we are incredibly grateful.

Last Thursday the Mayor also toured our squadron, getting to see what we do whilst the cadets were testing their general knowledge in an inter-flight quiz.

We had a fab time at the Sawbridgeworth May Fayre today. It was great to chat to so many of you today.

Thank you to all who supported us at the event and a big thank you to Flight Sergeant Martin who parades at a different squadron but still took the time to help us out today.
