Here is the revised schedule: ANNEX A NAG Drill Comp Schedule 2015

For an idea of who is doing what, you can read the OP ORDER for the Comp here: op order drill comp 2015

Don’t forget: bring your own lunch; canteen will be available. Bring your uniform on a hanger. Bring your polishing kit. We are Team #7 – so we’ll be on at approx 2pm for inspection, followed immediately by our performance. Tell your parents to come see!

BEST OF LUCK! I am so excited to see how much you have improved this year.

Bowling was a blast!

I hope everyone had as much fun as the Staff & Sponsors did last night at bowling. I’m pretty sure I won. If you’d like to dispute that, meet me at canteen break on Wednesday and we’ll talk top scores.

Wed night – dress: C-3 (AC, LAC, Cpl, FCpl) & C-2 (Sgt, FSgt, WOII)

Instructors check your schedules (in your email from Lt Russell) to make sure you are ready for class tomorrow night.

See you tomorrow night!

Sponsor Appreciation Tonight

PARENTS: Please join us during closing parade for our Sponsor Appreciation beginning at 855pm. We will be enjoying cupcakes and drinks to celebrate all the fantastic opportunities that our Squadron Sponsoring Committee create for your cadets, through their time, effort and dedication to our squadron.

My apologies for the mis-communication this morning regarding the March Break Trip parent meeting next Wed (I shouldn’t attempt to post before the kids go to school). We have changed the time of the meeting though, to 815pm on Wed Mar 11th, to better accommodate pick-up of your cadet and avoid waiting around after drop-off. In an effort to reduce the number of times you are required and/or requested to attend various parade night functions, the parent meeting originally scheduled at the end of the month has been cancelled (and deleted from the calendar). Thank you for your understanding.
