ORDER No.1 REMEMBERANCE PARADE AND REHEARSALAll cadets and staff are required to attend the Remembrance Parade in Loughton on Sunday 9th November. This is the only 100% obligatory parade in the calendar and reflects the importance the ATC and I attach to this event.
It is important that our image and behaviour is outstanding as we will be representing the Squadron, the ATC and the Royal Air Force at this event.
ORDER No.2 INNES SWORD COMPETITON
Congratulations to the Inness Sword Team, who put in a strong performance, coming third in the competition. The team also came first in the Navigation and Stretcher Race.
ORDER No. 3 WING FIELD DAY COMPEITION
Congratulations also to the Squadron Drill team who put in a very respectable performance in the Senior Drill Competition. This was the first time for some years that we have entered a team for the senior competition.
The Banner Drill Team came second in the Wing with the new Squadron banner. This is the first time the Squadron has entered a banner party and therefore an outstanding performance by the team. I hope that the experience picked up will stand us in good stead for the Remembrance Parade on 9 November.
