Cadets from all over Cumbria & Lancashire Wing all descended onto the UCLan Sports Arena for the annual inter-squadron athletics competition – giving cadets the opportunity to not only compete against other squadrons but also meet friends from camps and other events. This year, however, the 471 Cadets had one aim – To claim the Weeton Cup!
Tonight was the Annual General Meeting (AGM), meaning a review of the year took place. Every year, the committee chairwoman, Mrs Ashcroft, goes through the year with cadets, parents and the committee in attendance, as well as Squadron Leader Entwistle. After the AGM, the Squadron Leader and our squadron commander – Warrant Officer Ashcroft – had a few awards to give out!
Today, eleven cadets from 471 Squadron took part in a bag pack, fundraising for Cadet Sergeant Ball & Cadet Corporal Sherrington’s expedition to the Pyrenees and for new computers on the squadron, and you can find a few photos from the day, taken by Cadet Corporal Pym (during his break) on our Facebook page!
