HITCHIN CADETS RECEIVE SILVER AWARDS
BY FLT LT ERICA VEY
-------------------------
Four cadets from 1066 (Hitchin) have been presented with their Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards by Air Commodore Gordon Moulds, Commandant Air Cadets. The cadets and their guests were invited to attend the Wing awards ceremony held at Halton House Officers’ Mess on 29th March 2008 after they completed their awards in November 2007. The ceremony also provided the cadets and their guests an opportunity to look around Halton House Officers’ Mess.
Sgt Michael Page (17), Sgt Benjamen Reed (16), Cpl Douglas Johnson (16) and Cdt Dumal Welikala (16) all completed their awards with the squadron following the achievement of their bronze awards the previous year. All are well underway with their gold awards and have expeditions and residential projects planned for this summer.
Sgt Reed said ‘I worked hard for my Silver award and enjoyed the challenges faced during its completion. To have it presented by Commandant Air Cadets made it very special. I enjoyed the ceremony itself and talking with the Commandant.’
The cadets used a variety of topics towards their awards such as fundraising, uniformed youth service, cricket and aeronautics. A number of new subjects are being introduced for their gold awards including marksmanship, driving and badminton. They all hope to use attendance at an annual camp this summer towards their gold residential project and Cpl Johnson has decided to use his Germany camp in August as his project. Cpl Mariko Kemp (15) and Cpl Simon Moore (15) have also achieved their silver awards but were unable to attend the ceremony. They will receive their certificates at the squadron’s annual awards evening in April.
