Fantastic four
Four cadets, Flight Sergeant
Langford, Corporal Daker,
Corporal Reid and Cadet
Ellison, recently took part in the
Merseyside Wing Adventure
Training Exercise Competition.
This is a highly regarded annual
competition within the Air Training
Corps and the cadets take part in
several areas of training within the
competition.
Firstly, they took part in the navigation part of the exercise in last position, but did such
a fantastic job and came in first (with plenty of time to spare!). They also took part in
climbing, canoeing, camp craft, archery, a kit check and also an exam on navigation
and equipment. The guys did extremely well, especially since they were a very
young team and came home with silver medals. We came 3rd last year, a very well
deserved 2nd this year – only pipped to the post by 2 points – there’s only one way to
go! Congratulations also goes to Cpl Reid who was succeeded in being picked for the
Regional Adventure Training Exercise Competition team.
If you’re between 13 and 18 years of age and would like to take part in activities like
the above among other things, we meet on a Tuesday and Thursday night (7pm-
9.40pm), Tanks Field, Church Lane, Neston.

Crazy
day at
school
The children of St
Winefride’s RC School,
in Little Neston, held
a Go Crazy for CAFOD Day recently. They were invited to come into school,
wearing crazy clothes or sporting crazy hair styles.
The ‘Go Crazy Day’ was combined with a Skipathon or sponsored skip.
Throughout the day all the children and their teachers took part, skipping
individually or as a group skip. The children of Year 5 and 6 kicked off the event
with a ‘countdown’ on the playground, and the skipathon continued without a
break until the end of the day.
So far the combined events have raised over £360, which is being split between
CAFOD and the Good Shepherd Appeal (Children’s Charity).
