had chosen to hold a canal boat trip for their Welfare Committee and friends. In liaison with the Safe Anchor Trust in Mirfield over 30 people, comprising committee members, parents and friends all got their own treat of a round-trip out of Shepley Bridge Marina on three canal boats, with afternoon tea included.
Finally, for that day, three cadet corporals, Sam Cookland (16), Cian Farrar (15) and Freya Pugh
(16) attended a Junior NCO Course run by South and West Yorkshire Wing, and after training were assessed on Attitude and Approach to Learning, Contribution, Participation, Confidence and Bearing and various aspects of drill knowledge and practice.
Reflecting on the weekend, the squadron commander, Flight Lieutenant Doubell said, “well that was another VERY busy weekend with our resources spread far and wide, but everything went well: we gave good support to the Wings Appeal and to the Battle of Britain Parade, four cadets achieved gliding qualifications, another four completed their bronze expeditions, and three have benefitted from JNCO training, in addition to our supporters enjoying an afternoon out on the canal boats – all thanks to the commitment and flexibility of staff and cadets alike. Very well done to all concerned.”
