1368 cadets support Warwick Lion's Christmas parcels community duty, 8 Dec 2024

Image
Well done to all the cadets that supported the Warwick Lion's annual Christmas parcels packing duty.  Many hands make light work. Cadets drew a lot of praise for their due diligence, work ethic, dedication to duty and enthusiasm. Really super-smooth operation this year. Each year, Warwick Lion's collect food donations from the local community, so the duty consists of re-sorting it into bags that are then delivered to families and others in the community that could do with a little more help over the Christmas period. Helping the local community has been a long tradition with 1368 Squadron Air Cadets, and is one of the Squadron's pillars (core activities that make us what we are as a Sqn). The Lion's calculated that just over 1 ton of food (an estimated £3000 in donations) was collected around Warwick to sort into 200 bags. Many thanks to the people of Warwick who donated.

A bit of catch-up but fantastic night on Wed 4 Dec. Well done to brave new intake and the cadets who put on a great show looking back on their successes in 2024. This annual awards evening is a chance for cadets to reflect on some of their achievements for 2024. The evening was delivered by the cadets themselves hence gave them the opportunity to experience holding the attention of the 120+ audience, fantastic for those using Coaching, Teaching & Leadership > Air Training Corps as their DofE Volunteer section. 1368 Squadron's achievements for 2024 included 1) Winning Wing Athletics 2024 (third year in a row), 2) 3 Junior Leader graduations (unprecedented), 3) 1 Qualified Aerospace Instructor Award graduation, 4) 3rd in Wing competition incl. 3rd Drill/1st Cyber/1st Ensemble, 5) 5 Gold DofE Awards, 6) Wing Best Sqn for DofE Trophy 2023/24 7) Squadron's first ever band performance (3rd in Wing band competition) 8) Having fun. Squadron is consistent year-on-year with number...

Sqn parade strength remains solid with all 12 of 0924 intake having stuck. All 44 cadets on 2 Dec turned up in uniform (very impressed). New staff member CI M gets a framed lanyard from crew to commemorate his cadet journey. 1368 Sqn finally unlocks the key to the Bronze Cyber badges with 5 awards from earlier Sqn-run Bronze course. 3 cadets attend Wing CyberFirst day also get theirs on the day having done the Bronze iDEA certificate.
