Over a windy weekend in December, Air Cadets from 84 (Coventry Airport) Squadron worked hard helping to pack bags in Sainsbury's raising a staggering £1779 to help fund the exciting and diverse activities planned for 2014!!
The
Cadets from 84 Squadron, based at Coventry Airport, have become festive
regulars at their local Sainsbury's store in Kenilworth earning them an
excellent reputation for their smart appearance, professional manner and
dedicated work in assisting Christmas shoppers to pack their bags. Cadets
manned the tills all day both Saturday and Sunday earning themselves a whopping
£1779.87 which will be used to fund special projects such as a kayaking taster
weekend, provide essential equipment for adventure training activities as well
as contribute towards the upkeep and maintenance of the highly valuable
Squadron-owned minibus which transports the cadets to and from their exciting
adventures.
Flight
Lieutenant Nathan Adams RAFVR(T) who took over command of the squadron in July
2013 joined forces with many of the
store's customers and the Sainsbury's staff in complementing the cadets on
their exemplary and professional conduct throughout the weekend. “Not only do
we provide a service for the public in helping with their shopping, the cadets
help keep the queues to a minimum, thus allowing Sainsbury's staff to manage
the store in the Christmas rush a lot easier. The Cadets did themselves and the
organisation proud and they should feel extremely pleased with the amount
raised.”
Cadets
and staff from 84 Squadron would like to thank Sainsbury's for allowing them in
store at such a busy time and look forward to future fundraising events in
2014.
