Monday Night – Range Training

Hello 809,
We enjoyed it so much we’re going to do it again. 809 will once again be hosting 358 Sea for combined unit range training this Monday night. Anyone interested, come on out. The activity itself will take place from 1900-2100, however we ask that you show up by 1830 to help set up. Dress is appropriate civilian attire.

This time we’ll have the flight simulator set up so you can practice flying while you wait for your relay.

I hope to see everyone out.

Regards,
Lt D Couroux
Commanding Officer

Marksmanship Team Practice and Zone 7/8 Competition

Good news, everyone!

After last week’s tryouts, the 809 Marksmanship Team for 2019 has been selected.

Kudos to all of the cadets who competed for a spot on the team and congratulations to the final members!

The team will be practicing with Capt Palumbo and CV Carbone for a full two hours tomorrow night at the Old Virgil School Gym at 1665 Four Mile Creek Road. This practice is exclusively for the team in preparation for the Zone 7/8 competition on Saturday. Members of the Marksmanship Team should arrive at the front doors of the school no later than 1845 (6:45pm) for setup and should be picked up from the same location at 2115 (9:15pm).

The Zone 7/8 Marksmanship Competition will occur at the Lake Street Armoury, 81 Lake Street, St. Catharines on Saturday, 2 Mar from 0800 (8:00am) to 1700 (5:00pm). Parents should drop their cadets off and pick them up from the competition site. Lt Russell will be supervising the team at the event.

Full details for the competition can be found in the operations order here: NGTA Marksmanship Op Order 2019.

Range Team Competition Tomorrow

Correction to Wednesday’s announcement about tomorrow’s range team competition:

Only the five competing members of the team should show up at the Lake Street Armouries tomorrow. The spare members of the team should not be in attendance.

Please accept my apology for the confusion and join me in wishing the best to our team as they compete tomorrow.
