What’s going on?

In July a team of 21 cadets and 8 staff from Derbyshire within Trent Wing, Royal Air Force Air Cadets, headed out to the Dolomites Region of Italy.

A team of Regular and Reserve chefs from RAF Wittering, on the Cambridgeshire-Northamptonshire border, competed in Exercise Army Sustainer earlier this year, with all competitors landing awards for their catering skills.

Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service Eastern Station has been temporarily relocated to a nearby Army Reserve Centre.

With their new recruitment message, the Army Cadets invite everyone to step away from their screens and engage in real-world activities that foster personal growth and development.

In the summer of 2023, while his pupils enjoyed a well-deserved break after a busy academic year, history teacher Connor McGarry fired weapons and crawled through the mud on a gruelling 2-week battle camp.
