Lieutenant Newman was confirmed as the new Contingent Commander today by 38 (Irish) Brigade Cadet Training Team. The CCF has been without its own CC since Lt. Daniels retired in June last year. Commander Gordon stood in from 38X CTT in the interim. Lt Newman brings many years experience to the CCF having a wealth of experience with ACF etc. We look forward to the passion and energy Lt Newman will bring to the Army Cadet Syllabus, badges, awards and promotions.
Today several Cadets earned their Basic Award which Lt Newman duly presented to them:
Cadet Pressley
Cadet Gowdy
Cadet Kavalynas
Cadet Francey
Also earning their stripes today was
Corporal Fleming and
Lance Corporal Afangsenkov
Corporal Cytryna
We look forward to camp in July and return in September on a changed day, Monday for Parade. This change will mean a great opportunity for Laurelhill CCF to carry out the syllabus and have more opportunities to have fun and not be so weather dependent. This will allow us to use the school assembly hall for activities.
If you are 12 years old and would like to join the CCF speak to David or Adele in school or collect a registration form from your Form Tutor.
