Dates For Your Diaries

Here are the dates that you should be putting in your calendar for next year.

Those of you doing Bronze & Silver Duke of Edinburgh's Awards need to get on the relevant expeditions and planning days.

I will be bidding for these on the first parade back in the new year so will be asking for names that can take part so I can out your names in.

There are a few other things in the pipeline but I'll put the dates for those up when I have more details.

2012:

Jan 10: First Parade

Feb 13: Snow Cadet Brief for Cadets & Parents.

If you want to do Snow Cadet then you must be over 15 on feb 27th 2013 and have a passport.

It will also cost £200 which you must pay on the night of the brief.

Your parents can ring me or pop in to Detachment on Jan 10th if they want to ask me any questions about it.

March 16 - 18: CNE Weekend

Apr 14: DofE Bronze & Silver Planning Day
