“It’s really good that cadets have been able to keep up the success in first aid, as these were largely new teams, in fact Toby Mathews and Laila Robinson weren’t even cadets last year! So for them its on to the next round, representing South and West Yorkshire Wing in the North Region competition in the Autumn.”

The Mirfield Air Cadet Squadron meets at the Air Cadet Centre on Huddersfield Road near the Stocks Bank Road junction, on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Or for Dewsbury, 96 Squadron meets at their headquarters on Vulcan Road on Monday and Thursday evenings.
