1368 Clay Pigeon Shooting, 28 Mar 2026

Image
Last Saturday saw 8 of our more senior cadets experience clay pigeon shooting for the first time. It's taken staff team over 6 months of liaison and admin to get all the pieces in place, with aim to share their passion. Priority was given to slightly older cadets on first one, which was also a nice opportunity to keep in touch with some of the year 11's. Great success though, including support from venue.  Plan, timings and approvals all seemed to work. More to come, as we look to provide new and exciting stuff in 2026.

Essential First Aid (EFA) badges for new intake, 25 Mar 2026

Image
Well done to 8 cadets from 1368 Sqn who all passed the St John's EFA course last Wednesday. The night also provided an opportunity for 2 additional staff and cadet Sgt H to be signed off EFA trainers. EFA is the base First Aid qual, and needs to be achieved within first 6 months/renewed every 3 years. Not only does it mean they are better prepared to help save (mainly) old people, but some have also achieved their first badge (aim is to get brassard & sow it on, ready for uniform).
