27 Nov – Weekly Briefing

We have a number of different activities in the next few weeks before our last evening before Christmas. Skating, our Holiday Party, and a CO’s Parade will round off our year. Training will resume on Wednesday 4 January 2023.

HEALTH UPDATE – We are aware of a large amount of absenteeism in schools this week due to an outbreak of the flu. PLEASE DO NOT COME TO CADETS IF YOU ARE SICK! Let us know at this link if you can’t come.

ADJUSTMENT TO START OF TRAINING TIMES – effective Wed 16 Nov, senior cadets (level 5+) will arrive at 1820 hrs – we ask that all other cadets arrive between 1830 and 1840 hrs – we do not want cadets waiting outside in poor weather. Additionally, last week those waiting were very noisy and we do not want to bother the local community.
