IMPORTANT - Re: Karting Party 19th December

All cadets intending to participate in the karting this Tuesday must bring with them a completed and signed TG21 Form and where necessary one or more TG23 Forms.

The forms can be downloaded using the links below and printed.

If you do not have the facilities to download and print these, Fg Off Taylor will have a supply with him on the night and these can be completed and signed by a parent or guardian of the cadet at that time.

Any cadet who does not have the relevant signed forms at the start of the event will not be able to participate.
