Festival of Remembrance

Updates from our team preparing for the weekend. 

Day 1

Well the big week is here, some of us slightly more exciting than others as Mandy shouts Tigger over at me! 


We where ready and willing to go but it seems that RAF Northolt had other plans. After arriving at the guard room to find out that some of us didn't have accommodation a slight panic set over the camp. Though no doubt in true RAF style it would be sorted.

We started off in the QCS lecture hall for our intial brief with the WO and FS who weren't as scary as you'd might think. Telling us our fire exits where here, here and here We were all told which ceremonies we were doing and when, meal times, training times and of course where the bar was. After everyone was told what they would be doing we all set about organising ourselves for greatcoat and No.1 inspection. Emma and Andrew were given the all clear, few minor things with Mandy's and mine but all in all No.1 were all in tip top shape, it's a shame the same couldn't be said for the greatcoats which nearly all have to be altered! The Taylor's will have fun with these demands I'm sure.




More faffing over it was off to collect keys for rooms and dinner! Pasta bake anyone?


Enjoying every minute of it
