Author: 2484BassingbournSqu | Published: 26th September 2013 08:47 |
Cadets from 2484 (Cambourne) Detached Flight and 2484 (Bassingbourn) Squadron took part in the annual Royal Air Force Association, Wings Appeal collection.
The Cadets, with kind permission of the Manager at Morrisons of Cambourne, Mr Steve Dadge, manned the doors of the store on the evenings of Monday 2nd Sept, Wednesday 4th Sept and both Saturday and Sunday of the following weekend.
Last year the Squadron and Detached Flight raised over £750.00, the second largest amount by any ATC unit in the country leading to the award of the Sir Gus Walker Trophy.
This year the amount raised was a huge total of £912.59 by no less than twenty staff and cadets.
Flying Officer Rogers said, “I did not think that last year’s total would be beaten, but the time and effort put in by the Squadron proved me wrong. We now wait to see if we have won outright this year. I am delighted that this large sum will be going to support RAFA and the vital work they do, supporting past and present RAF service personel in their hour of need.
Well done to all those who gave up their free time to make this year’s collection such a success.”
