1312 (Southend) Squadron are arranging an adventure training camp to Llanbedr in North Wales. The dates for this are 05 APR 2014 to 12 APR 2014. Note these dates conflict with the Falklands Competition.

The camp is open to all enrolled cadets who are at least 14 years of age and physically fit. The cost is £130, which includes food, accommodation and activities.

Activities include:

• Hill walking
• Mountain biking
• Canoeing
• High ropes
• Orienteering
• Pony trekking

An activities list will be placed on the notice board and you will be required to return a cheque for £50 payable to '1312 ATC Squadron'.

Operation Christmas Child

Well done and a big thank you to all cadets and staff who packed and donated a shoebox for Operation Christmas Child. Today we dropped off our boxes and stayed to pack even more at the Church. All these types of activities get us noticed in the community, go towards our submission to Essex Wing for the George Leonard Cup (for the Squadron community involvement) and makes a difference to a good cause. 

Operation Christmas Child

Remember to bring your shoeboxes up to the Squadron by Thursday 14th at the latest. 

You need to include a £3.00 donation, which you can either do by placing cash in the envolope attached to your leaflet, or by paying online and printing your reference number off. I personally paid online, it's quite simple and more of your money will go direct to the charity.

If anyone doesn't have a shoebox then you can still get all your gifts together. We'll take them to the Church and pack them into a box there.

We will also be attending the shoebox collection and packing day on Saturday 16 Nov. Rev Paul Carr, Padre and myself would really appreciate some help on this day. We will be meeting at the squadron for 10:00 and you can stay to help for as long as you are able to do so. Parents are also welcome to attend if they want to.
