Annual Ceremonial Review

This coming Saturday is the Squadron's Annual Review. This is one of the most important events of the training year as the squadron will be inspected by a guest Reviewing Officer (LCol Suzanne Bailey) as well as our Detchment. It is also an opportunity for everyone to recognize the accomplishments of our cadets over the past training year and so we invite parents, grandparents, friends and family to attend. This also means that cadets should dedicate time this week to washing and pressing their uniform, ensuring badges are sewn on properly, polishing boots, etc.

Annual Practice
There will be an ACR practice this Thursday May 29 from 2030 h (6:30 pm) to 2100 h (9:00 pm). All cadets should be in attendance. Please bring with you your boots, tunic and pants.

The Day Of
On Saturday May 31 all cadets are to arrive at the cadet hall by 0800 h. We will use these hours for extra practice, to set up the armoury and static displays and to fix any last minute uniform problems. Lunch will be provided. All cadets are to arrive in appropriate civilian clothes and MUST bring the following items when they arrive and all items MUST have your name in them so you don't lose them (Use this as a checklist):

• Boots
• Grey Socks
• Pants
• Wedge
• Tie
• Tunic
• Dress Shirt
• Epaulets 
• Name tag
• 1812 Pin
• (Whites for those cadets that wear them)

Also bring a bag or label your civilian clothes so they don't get misplaced.

After Annual
There will be NO CADETS on Monday June 2, 2014. The following Monday (June 9) there will be a BBQ and summer camp information night. All cadets and parents of cadets who are going to be attending (or are on standby) for summer camp need to come this night to get the necessary information. The BBQ will start at 6:30 pm and family is also invited to the BBQ.

MESS DINNER

A reminder that this coming Monday night will be our Mess Dinner. Mess Dinners are a long standing military tradition. You can see some of the tradition here. We will celebrate a Mess Dinner in as much the traditional way as possible.

This is a formal dining evening. The dress will be full uniform without a wedge or name tags. In the past many senior cadets have substituted their blue shirt and cadet tie for a white dress shirt and bow tie. This is acceptable for the Mess Dinner.

Please remember your manners and dinner etiquette and plan on enjoying yourself.
