Unfortunately this conflicts with Mother’s Day. Although we regret to pull your cadet from family commitments, we ask that you understand that there are 69 teams competing, and at least 25 units must be scheduled for the Sunday. Our team members have been working hard each week to improve their 3rd place finish at the NAG Drill Competition in April. We look forward to them representing 809 Sqn on the area stage at the drill portion of the competition next weekend.
