What We Do

Parade Nights, Tuesday and Thursday 1900-2130hrs:

 

Parade Nights focus on the ATC's Ground Training Syllabus which covers aviation topics, map reading and  service knowledge.

 

It isn't all classroom based though, practical activities also take place where cadets actively participate in things such as:

• Map reading, practicing in the local area

• Fieldcraft - camouflage and concealment

• First Aid

• Drill

• Night Exercises - where teams of cadets compete to achieve objectives.

We also have regular sports nights

 

Weekend Activities

Flying and gliding takes place at weekends and all cadets will have the opportunity to go flying or gliding on an annual basis.

 

Duke of Edinburgh's Award expeditions are also held at the weekends.

 

The Squadron holds regular weekend camps to practice military skills.

 

The ATC runs weekend courses in topics such as leadership and shooting.

Other Activities

The highlight of the year is Annual Camp which is held at an operational RAF Station.  Cadets get to see the RAF in action and take part in activities such as flying, shooting, section visits, sport and fieldcraft.

There are also week-long adventure training camps available for cadets to attend as well as courses such as parachuting and micro-lighting.

There is the opportunity for international travel in the way of exchanges with other Air Cadet organisations and overseas camps.
