This year we have 3 Male and 2 Female cadet places and 3 staff places for this year's UK based summer camp. The camp will be at RAF St Mawgan (which is next to Newquay Airport, Cornwall).

We will leave on the 23rd July and return on 30th July, hopefully the weather will be good for us all!

Activities for the camp are still to be confirmed, but we will update soon!

Crewe Cadets involved with Wing Band

The marching band goes to different events and have various practices through out the year.

4 Crewe Cadets are Flying Abroad!!

We have had an amazing stroke of luck on the squadron this year and are very proud to announce that we have 4 of our Cadet NCOs jetting off all over the world on overseas camps.

First up we had Sgt Laura Montague who went to RAF Troodos in Cyprus for 10 days.

Next we have CWO Vici Bates who is soon flying with the International Air Cadet exchange (IACE) to Israel on 18 July. For more information about IACE view this link: http://www.iacea.com/ And then we have Cpl Payne and Sgt King both of whom are going to RAF Troodos in Cyprus for 10 days.

It is very very rare to secure this many overseas places in the same year. We are very proud of our NCOs who managed to get a place and look forward to putting pictures up on the website soon!!

Cadets and Staff prepare for Bolesworth 2011

Last year we rasied an amazing £1600 from Bolesworth. We donated £1000 to our favoured charity help for heros and used £600 to pay for our mini bus.

Bolsworth is a horse riding event where staff, the civilian committee and cadets all pull together and work hard, whilst having fun. This year is a 4 day event and we will once again be in our bright orange squadron T-Shirts.
