Team F&A represented Bedfordshire District at this weekends Area Drill & Piping Competition. Out of the 10 Districts the results are as follows;

Unarmed Squad - 5th Place 
Unarmed Squad Commander (AC R Horvat-Kelly) - 5th Place 
Piping Team - 4th Place 

Piping Individuals (out of 20 Competitors) 
CFC E Roberts - 5th Place 
OC D Ashton - 8th Place 

Well done all, solid results, particularly for the 10 cadets who had not competed at the Area Event before. Competition was tough this year in particular due to having no Armed Guard Competition. We have a great launch pad for greater success in the coming years.

Heres to 2015

My thanks go out to all the Adult Volunteers who help in the training, financial/legal and supporting side of the unit, without which we would not be able to offer all of these exciting opportunities.

Final thanks go out to all the cadets who remain committed and passionate about our organisation and without whom we would not have had such a successful year.

Best wishes for 2014 to all involved with our unit and I look forward to an even more successful 2014 and the introduction of the Royal Marines Cadets to Flitwick & Ampthill Sea Cadets.
