Bingo! Air Cadets Raise Money

Author: Laura Nixon Published: 31st May 2012 20:20

Recently cadets and staff from 272 (Wisbech) Squadron Air Cadets held a fundraising Bingo to raise money for squadron funds.

The bingo was held at Emneth Central Hall in May and this year it was themed to celebrate the Queens' Diamond Jubilee. The cadets greeted members of the public at the door when they arrived and assisted the civilian committee to sell bingo books and raffle tickets.

 


During the games of bingo the cadets helped the bingo caller by calling back the numbers on the winning tickets and giving out the prizes to the winners.

While the interval was happening, refreshments such as tea and coffee and cakes were sold by the cadets and they also helped to draw the raffle.

‘It felt good to raise over £300 for my squadron it was a good evening and everyone enjoyed it' said Cadet Josh Garner aged 15.

This year over £300 was raised for squadron funds which will pay for some new tents needed for the squadron to be able to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award. This money was greatly received.

Wisbech squadron are currently recruiting young people aged 13-17, come along to one of our parade nights on a Monday or a Thursday night at our Sandyland headquarters, email 272Sqn@BedsCambsWgATC.org or ring 01945 587251 on parade evenings.
