UPDATE FROM SENIOR OFFICER, T.C. Byrne - 31st January 2010

Last years programme of events again provided a great challenge for our Cadets with an action packed Summer Camp hosted by the RAF Regiment at Honnington. We are again proud to have been selected to provide the Mayor's Cadet and Sgt Tom Rimmer is very busy in support of Civic events. We continue to support our local villages and our Padre, Fr Adrian Ling, for many Remembrance Day Services and our band have also attended a number of Help for Heroes events. We are proud to do so.

The New Year sets out yet another busy programme for our unit and the challenges will be many, with being "The Best" as our aim

Winterton-on-Sea and Hemsby.

We are busy people. If you think you are tough enough, good enough and you like a challenge then come and "JOIN US".
