Sunday 28 Feb is the closing date for bids on the first of this year's Exercise KHAKI BADGER camps. The 'rockie' camps, open to all, are in April (Easter weekend) and May (half-term). Priority will go to those who have not been on KB before.
Check your email for details.
Any outstanding Dining-In Night slips are to be returned today. If you are not attending, you MUST submit a LOA form.
Bids for summer camp should also be returned as soon as possible. I can confirm that our Squadron has NOT been allocated any places on the Easter camp, so please re-bid for the summer.
The training programme is now available for February. This master TP is subject to revisions, so keep an eye on it!
The Wing has been allocated 7 male and 4 female places on the Gibraltar Camp being held 29 March - 5 April 2010.
To be eligible cadets must be 15 years of age or over at the start of the Camp, physically fit, have attended at least one UK camp, be a Leading Cadet or above, and hold a full passport and EHIC.
The cost of the air fare is £188. This must be submitted at the time of application. In addition, it is expecting that a further £120 will be required to cover messing, activities and personal spending money.
If you are eligible and would like to nominate yourself for a place, please download, print and complete this document pack and return it with a cheque for £188 made payable to "Warwickshire and Birmingham Sports and Welfare Fund" to the Adjutant by 10 Feb 10.
As with all Corps activities, the Squadron Civilian Committee has the facility to provide financial assistance to those families who would not otherwise be able to take advantage of opportunities such as these camps. If you would like to apply for a grant, please come in to the Squadron and speak to the Commanding Officer.
Slight change to the TP for Leading Class - a split session with PoF and Basic Nav. Everyone else, as advertised!
Dress: No2C (Working Blues)
