Effective Speaking Competition

For those cadets participating in next week’s Effective Speaking Competition, the form that you were given last night was incomplete. It turns out that the proper form has two sides and the one you were given only has one. The complete form that needs to be filled out for next week is at the following link:

ACLC OPC Effective Speaking Application Form

In addition, Mrs. Gowans has asked me to post a few items as reminders from this week’s training session.

First, a link to last year’s competition so that cadets can view it and get ideas and pointers from watching previous entries.

2017 Prepared Finals

Second, a the Effective Speaking Workshop Presentation, especially slides 13-24.

Remember that our competition is next Wednesday and that you should be practicing and polishing your speeches until then. We’re all looking forward to hearing what you have to say.

NAG Sports Competition – Victory!

On the bus and thoroughly exhausted, 809’s NAG Sports Competition team is heading home undefeated and victorious! They scored first place in Handball and Soccer, and also won the overall competition against some very challenging opponents. There was an amazing effort put forward today, and congratulations to each and every one of them is well deserved. BZ, 809!

NAG Sports Competition – Status

The good news is that our Squadron is ahead! We’ve won the handball competition and are in contention for soccer. The bad news is that the games are running behind and we’re not going to be out of Dunnville until 5pm. This gives us a revised ETA to 809’s HQ of 1830 (6:30pm). Will update as I know more.

NAG Sports Competition – Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, we’re off to the annual NAG Sports Competition. We will be competing in two of the sports: handball and soccer. We may be able to field a crew for volleyball, but that depends on scheduling.

All participating cadets are expected to arrive at the front doors of 809 Squadron HQ (REIA) at 0615 (6:15am) and a departure of 0630 (6:30am).

Pick-up will be from the same location at approximately 1730 (5:30pm).

Bring the following: HEALTH CARD (nobody boards the bus without one), water bottle, backpack to hold extra clothes (come dressed in your 809 Squadron t-shirt, shorts, socks and running shoes with long pants/sweater overtop), snack and any reading material, card game, &c to pass the time between games. Your belongings will be left unattended at times, so do NOT bring anything that you would not want to lose.

Parents are welcome to come and watch: we will be competing in Dunnville at the High School located at 110 Helena Street.

Lunch (pulled pork on a bun and salad) will be provided for all participants. There will be a canteen as well, so bring $5 for that if you want to partake.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow morning!

Icewine Festival Bottle Pickup

Thanks very much to our SSC members, staff, their spouses, cadets, and cadet parents for taking an hour out last night to help collect the bottles from the Niagara Icewine Festival.

Mr. Zalepa, Mrs. and Mr. Gowans, Mrs. Lemoine, Mrs. Abt, and Mr. Mannella.
