Cadets and Cadet Parents…Happy New Year! If you look to the ‘Cadet’ section on the left of the website, you will find the new proposals for 2011 and a document showing the structure of the cadet section.

We are keen to enhance Thursday evenings, by ensuring cadets with a birthday who would like to bring along a cake to share, can do so under supervision.

I am trying to create a cadet mailing list, so please complete your e-mail contact details (both parents and cadets, if appropriate) when you receive your annual membership details/fee later this month. That way the Cadet Committee can keep you better informed about training opportunities and other events.
