Annual Awards Night Results Report 2010

Monday, January 24th, 2011
OC's Report

OC's report

Thursday 13th January saw the re-arranged 2010 Witham Air Cadets Annual Awards and Graduation Evening. The event has originally been scheduled for 20th December 2010 but was re-arranged due to the icy weather.

Over 200 people attended the event at the Maltings Academy School in Witham for presentations from Cadets and Staff from the Squadron. The evening outlined the Squadron’s key achievements throughout 2010 with presentations from Officer Commanding, Flight Lieutenant Mat Moakes, a piano performance from Corporal Alex Benham and a short presentation on the Cadet 150 Expedition to Lesotho by Cadet Warrant Officer Ryan Baker.

The proceedings were then handed over to our recent intake of new recruits who began back in September 2010 to present what they’ve done since joining the Corps. After a short presentation and drill display they were formally enrolled into the ATC by Squadron Chaplain, Revered Michael Child and awarded their First Class badges by Squadron Leader Mike Dodd (Senior Wing Staff Officer for North Essex). The recruits of ‘C Flight’ have now completed their four month training, which covered everything from basic drill, RAF knowledge to fieldcraft and weapons training.

There were a number of awards presented to the intake on the evening, these were:

Best Cadet of the Intake: Cadet Owen Deighton

Best Drill of the Intake: Cadet George Lindsay-Flemming

Most Improved Cadet: Cadet Toby Day

The evening ended with awards and promotions for the main Squadron. The following awards were presented by Squadron Leader Mike Dodd:

Best Cadet Exam Results: Cadet James Culley

Sports Cadet of the Year: Corporal Alex Benham

Marksman of the Year: Sergeant Tom Creane

NCO of the Year: Corporal Kris Baker

Most Improved Cadet: Cadet Robert Gill

Cadet of the Year: Cadet Grant Cook

Following an NCO selection cadre in November 2010 the Squadron also announced the following promotions:

From Cadet to Corporal:

Corporal Alex Benham
Corporal Grant Cook
Corporal Jonathan Bradley

From Corporal to Sergeant:

Sergeant Rebecca Baker
Sergeant Adrian Hooker

From Flight Sergeant to Cadet Warrant Officer:

Cadet Warrant Officer Ryan Baker

The following awards were also voted for by the Cadets:

Best Member of Staff voted by the Cadets: Pilot Officer Sean Purcell

Best Cadet voted by the Cadets: Corporal Leah Johnson

Parents, Guests and Cadets then joined Staff members at the Witham Royal Air Force Association Club for light refreshments to celebrate the Squadron’s achievements.
