On Sunday, October 20th, 2286 (Coventry Arden) Squadron participated in the Wing Training Day competition held at Greenwood Academy, Castle Vale, marking the culmination of weeks and months of hard work and dedication from our cadets and staff. It was an early start, with cadets arriving at 7 AM, ready to showcase their skills and teamwork.
Despite a challenging beginning with one of our Squadron SNCOs facing a medical issue, the team rallied together, demonstrating remarkable resilience and determination throughout the day. The atmosphere was electric, with cadets enjoying the eSports taster room, watching other Squadrons compete, and cheering on friends from other units.
At the end of the day, the entire Wing gathered for a final parade, enjoying the music from our talented Wing Band before the results were announced. We are thrilled to report outstanding achievements from our cadets:
