When nominating cadets, Squadrons are to detail them to a course; please bear in mind courses are limited in number and will be as much as possible divided equally around the Wing. Some cadets unfortunately will miss out, however it is envisaged that not all Squadrons will take up an allocation or indeed attend, therefore allowing for more places to be given to individual Squadrons.

All Cadets wishing to attend are to complete and submit an ACF13C with payment to the squadron.

Action Required. All Staff and Cadets wishing to attend are to complete and submit Consent Forms along with any Asthmatic questionnaires, if applicable. Forms are also required for the reserves and Squadron commanders are to ensure that the Forms are annotated accordingly.

Fully completed applications are to be submited along with payment (Cheques made payable to 2168 (Yeadon) Squadron) to the squadron prior to the deadline.

The deadline for this weekend is Friday 26th February. Applications made to the squadron after this date WILL NOT be considered.
