I would like to offer a personal note of thanks to all of our Cadet Force Adult Volunteers who have helped to make Annual Camp 2012 such a success. We should all take satisfaction from the achievements of our cadets who had to contend with a shorter camp period and weather which was quite unlike the typical summer camp expectation.
We have now a sizeable chunk of time to fill before Annual Camp in August 2013 (Okehampton in Devon). We need to ensure that suitable opportunities are made available over the next 16 months for star board testing to take place. I would encourage the Coys and the RE Sqn to look at the possibility of laying on extended weekends or Coy Camps in this time to maintain the monentum of training and testing during this period.
Rest assured that preparations for Annual Camp 2013 will begin as soon as we return to Kent, with the aim being to have a workable camp plan in place by Easter 2013 lead by Major Chris Gilbert and his team.
My priorities for cadet training remain, namely to further develop our provison of BTEC qualifications through CVQO, expanding the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and building on our shooting successes. My appointment of Captain Roberts as County Shooting Officer and Major Graham Cable to take the lead with cadet and adult awards will compliment the good work already being carried out by Capt Rob Wood.
Enjoy the brief respite before returning to your normal lives!
