This was an emotional and rewarding day for all members of the squadron who were there to witness the Squadron’s impressive performance. We must remember that all of this would not have happened without the dedication and enthusiasm of the cadets who put in many hours of practice and preparation for this competition. A great deal of credit must also go to numerous members of the Squadron’s staff of civilian volunteers and squadron officers who spent many hours of their time and effort to train and encourage the cadets who went on to achieve these impressive results. The achievements of the cadets brought out the pride, emotions and sometimes the tears that were obvious in those from the squadron who were there to witness the competition.
