Camp 2009
Friday 7th August - Visitors' Day
Week One is almost at an end - but today is just as full as ever for the cadets. Everyone is up bright and early on a clear dry day and looking forward to entertaining their Visitors. First things first though, and it's off to practice the Parade before the visitors arrive mid morning. The remainder of the moring will be taken up with lots of different competitions and stands where the cadets will have the ability to show off their skills and abilities. The afternoon climaxes with Commandant's Parade and the Presentations and Awards and in the evening the cadets will go to their "end of camp" Disco. In between all that the cadets and Instructors have to find time to pack their kit in preparation for the journey home tomorrow - busy, busy, busy.........! |
