1414 Crowborough Sqn have started preparing for the future of the organisation with their Astra project. Astra looks at everything we do and how we could do it better, as well as exploring what new training activities we could undertake. Cadets at 1414 have undergone a briefing and have started on projects identified to boost their experiences. They've got a jobs list of over 100 tasks, but are progressing through them at speed!
We were delighted this week to see our very own Jane Smith receive a Lord Lieutenants award for meritorious service following many years supporting both 461 Chichester Sqn and Sussex Wing. Jane was the chair of our civilian executive committee leading fundraising activities and support to squadron committees. Jane's dedication has served numerous cadets and made a real difference to their lives.
Sussex Wing had cause to celebrate this week with the announcement of a new Lord Lieutenant Cadet for East Sussex, CWO Boutcher. The Lord Lieutenant Cadet accompanies the Lord Lieutenant to key events in the county over the year including any visits from the Royal Family.
The winner of the 2023 Best Tri-Service Cadet Award for the county of Sussex has been announced. Cadet Warrant Officer (CWO) Worth was presented with the award on the evening of the East and West Sussex Lord Lieutenant’s awards ceremony taking place at Lancing College on 24 October 2023. This is an amazing achievement and a well deserved award.
