Southern Area Aviation Skills Competition

Whilst our competitive team has been selected to attend this weekend competition, there are still a number of spots available for Cadets to come along and compete in composite teams, and help out with general competition activities. A great opportunity to meet other Air Cadets from around the South Island, and participate in some out of the ordinary activities. The competition runs 2-4 December, at Burnham Military Camp. If you are interested in attending, apply on CadetNet. This is an ATP activity, so it is under “ATP” and not “Unit Training”. This opportunity is available to all Cadets. Those who are successful will be informed by the 17th of November.
