Well done to Fg Off S, Cdt S-M and Cpl F for speaking to Rotary Club about 1368 Air Cadets last Wed. They were in the hot seat with very little notice (although they did get fed ;-). Great feedback. "They made a great impression on our members and they are a credit to your squadron". Great effort with uniform/turn-arounds, and helping to support 1368's engagement with the local community and Community Duties pillar. Also many thanks to Rotary Club which does amazing work for the local community, helping support organisations including the Air Cadets in Warwick. 

Last couple of Weds has seen 8-9 senior cadets from 1368 training with sea cadet band (Code name Op: Sea Band-Its). Idea is to challenge seniors with new experiences, and re-invigorate GCSE-er's with 5-6 weeks of continuity in playing ahead of Wing band comp/Remembrance parade. Photos from starting night.

Managed to collect these at WCD26 from Wing DofE Officer, hence will look to hand out. There's a few more in eDofE that just need some corrections/final reports, hence more fruit in the tree to polish off. DofE remains one of the key pillars of the 1368 Sqn experience, with most cadets progressing to Silver and an unusually large crop of 1368 Gold seeds planted who are doing Volunteering 12m sections/6 or 12m Skills sections with Cadets.

Some photos from last Sat where we had 28 cadets from 1368 take on other Squadrons in over 20 competitions (many new). Great weather, lovely day, nice to meet cadets/staff from other Sqns. Thankyou Ice Creams from Civ Comm for all the effort in the build up. 1st in ensemble (again, although it was our juniors and new starts stepping up this year playing some Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Cure songs). Last event as a cadet for our illustrious CWO H, as she heads off to Uni and looks to transitions into a CI staff role. 

Cdt B received the honour's as COTM for July, even though it was Aug. COTM is about the cadet that has a positive impact on others, hence although his Lidl attire has been second to none there have been other things. Good sense of humour bringing interest. +ve comments coming from a number of sources. He's got stuck in. His engagement levels pulling others along, impressive in GCSE year.

In last few weeks we transitioned from temp venues back into the 1368 Sqn HQ Joint Cadet Centre. 16 cadets helping on first working party was heartening. Domino's Pizza consumed. Last night of sports in CMCC hall (Jo and her team at CMMC have been amazing offering a venue to keep the cadet experience alive). Sept has seen return of quite a lot of post-GCSE-ers with the "are you staying or going" gauntlet thrown. APO O'C (2286) has been helping Banner team. Sgt J pulled an amazing WHT day out of the bag. Fg Off S has helped with Drill. We've tried to keep it fun. Some team building activities for non-WCD cadets. Some badges also with First Class for Cdts P, R and C. Cdt K gets her Blue Musician badge. Great "stream talk" 2nd half from Rose Dragon 2026-ers. Also, a realization from the newbies that there's actually a cadet centre with photo's on the wall. Sqn has started to feel like people are back. Cadet family's raring to go for another year...
