Wing Athletics 2014

On a warm, sunny Sunday in Cheltenham over 150 cadets gathered to show their support for the Wing by actively representing their squadrons at Bristol and Gloucestershire’s Wing Athletics Tournament at Prince of Wales’ Stadium.

One cadet was heard to say to another “isn’t it brilliant we can get together like this”.

93 (City of Bath) Squadron won every trophy.  They were present in every event in their bright yellow t shirts.

Another trophy for 93 Squadron!

The athletes, and their sportsmanship, were outstanding.  They were an inspiration to the staff who witnessed some of their remarkable achievements.

The Wing Sports Officer, Squadron Leader Andrew Slater, thanked all those who helped and took part before presenting the trophies at the end of the day.

Royal Visit to Nailsea

The Air Cadets are now sharing their unit with the Army Cadets after almost 40 years of being on their own in Nailsea and they were rewarded with a new building and a state of the art 25 metre Range with 4 firing points last year. Major Stuart Mejers said “This is the best facility in the country” Councillor Claire Hunt, Chair of Nailsea Town Council, a good friend of the squadron was amazed at how nice it was and she toured the ATC stands as she was shown around the new building. The new building is fully networked in the ATC Classrooms and allows full use of the training packages available to cadets. Each classroom and the main hall is kitted out with networked projectors which are HD.

 

All of the staff and 18 cadets were their with the addition of the Regional Commandant and Wing Commander and Sqn Ldr Thompson - all great supporters of 2467 (Nailsea) Squadron.
