Well, Flag Week is over for another year and it's back to normal parade evenings tonight (Monday, 19 June) when the whole Unit is at the Welsh Harp Boat-Station for a variety of boating activities.

A big WELL DONE to all cadets, staff, committee and supporters who pounded the streets during the evenings last week and roasted in the heat in Uxbridge, outside West Ruislip station, in Ruislip Manor and in Ruislip on Saturday which was Flag Day itself. The local manager of the M & S Foodhall in Ruislip came round and gave all cadets (and the Chairman!)  a bottle of iced-water on Saturday and, in Uxbridge, a former member of staff bought cold drinks for everybody. Again, fantastic comments received from the local community during the week. Thanks also to the money-counters.

Final results for Flag Week will be posted up at the Unit on Wednesday, 21 June.
