| Staff Absence |
Some of you may be aware of a situation that has happened within the family of the Chairman and Commanding Officer, but for those of you who are not aware, on Tuesday morning the Chairman lost his daughter unexpectedly.
As you can imagine this has devestated the family and our minds are now concentrating on having to come to terms with our loss.
During this time, the Chairman, CO and Adj may be out of the loop for the next few weeks. The Squadron will continue to run in our absence due to the support and dedication of the staff and committee members, however certain items of paperwork may be delayed in processing during this time.
Please bear with the staff whilst they go through their grieving process and support those who are running the unit in our absence as much as possible.
Admin Team.

| Summer Ball news |
The latest information the Admin team can give you regarding the summer ball is that a location and date has been preliminary booked for the 4th July. We are currently looking at a list of VIPs who may be invited to attend.
The Civilian Committee will now be approached for additional funding for entertainment at the next meeting so that we can move forward with the planning stage.
A menu has been provided to us and this will be made available to the Squadron in the near future after a letter has been sent out to all parents and guardians. The cost of the menu is £22 per head.
Any further information regarding the progress will be provided as it happens, any questions can be put to the Admin team via the Squadron e-mail address.
Thank you,

The Squadron was asked to send representatives to receive a donation of £2000 which will be placed into a minibus fund so that he Squadron have their own transportation for events.
The evening went extremely well, with praise being given to the Squadron for all the support that we have shown to the Lions over the last few years.

| D of E training and expeditions |
For those of you looking to take part in your D of E expeditions, please make a note of the dates set up in the calendar. The expeditions will initally be for those doing Bronze, with Silver expeditions planned for early in the New Year.
If you wish to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award and don't know how to do so, all you need to do is ask the CO. What you will find out is that every cadet on the Squadron should be taking part in this activity (even if you didn't realise that you are), and that the Civilian Committee fund your participation. There are set to be changes in how we do things; we will now start looking at getting each cadet to pay for their D of E book initially, but this will be refunded on completion of the award. The reason for the change, is that if a cadet chooses to leave the Squadron or change operating authority, the Squadron should not be left footing the bill. If you have any questions regarding payment for D of E and you wish to discuss it with the CO in private, please let him know through the contact us page; the e-mail and contact number goes directly through to him and is confidential.

| Ten Tors Training |
Cadets from 649 took part in the RAF Ten Tors Selection this weekend.  Cadets pictured at Dinger Tor checkpoint on Day 2. The team from the squadron did an amazing job, they all worked extremely hard and gelled together well as a team, many also completed their Duke of Edinburgh's Award Expedition section. On their 40+km route they visited Okehampton Camp, Oke Tor, Quintens Man, Sittaford Tor, Rough Tor, Conies Down, Lynch Tor, Willsworthy Camp, Great Links, Kitty Tor, Dinger Tor, Row Tor and finished back at Okehampton. The team were entirely self sufficient for the whole time they were out on the moor, and despite the ground underfoot being very hard to walk on they made good time and morale was high. Many of the other teams taking part in the event dropped out, 16 cadets fell-out on Day 1, and a further 18 cadets fell-out before leaving their overnight camp at Willsworthy! All of 649's cadets completed the whole event and the RAF Ten Tors Training Team were very impressed with their performance, especially being their first time on Dartmoor! Photos of the event are available in the Photo Gallery section of this website. |

Thought for the day; your 3822 record book is your identification and has records of everything that you have achieved. You should have this document with you at all times when attending parades or activities. Check you have it before attending the Squadron, but don't leave it in your uniform when it goes into the washing machine!
