Cadets help out at Kenilworth Castle fireworks display

Cadets help out at Kenilworth Castle fireworks displayStaff and Cadets from 2438 (Bishop Ullathorne) Squadron were out in force on the evening of Saturday 7th November, to help the Kenilworth Round Table with its 22 nd fireworks display at Kenilworth Castle .

The massive event attracted over 12,000 visitors, and has become one of the most popular public firework shows in the Midlands. Held in the grounds next to Kenilworth Castle , and set against the historic and dramatic backdrop of the ruins the skies of Kenilworth came to life for this extravaganza.

The staff and cadets were amongst hundreds of other volunteers offering their services to help the Kenilworth Round Table with this event.

As well as attending safety briefings before and on the day of the event, the staff and cadets assisted the Round Table around the Brays car park. They were at hand to raise the alarm to a member of the Round Table if they were to notice a member of the public needing emergency assistance. They also offered assistance to the public by pointing them in the direction they wished to go in and by directing them to the nearest public convenience.

The cadets also got to see the bonfire, and a great display, as well as listening to the live DJ roadshow provided by Coventry & Warwickshire's Radio Station, Mercia. 

All the proceeds that the Kenilworth Round Table raise from the event are used to provide direct financial support to local charities and community cause, due to this the Staff and Cadets from 2438 (Bishop Ullathorne) Squadron were happy help.

Flight Sergeant Alan Tillman said “This was the first time in its 22 years the staff and cadets from 2438 Squadron have helped the Kenilworth Round Table with this event. I am impressed with the cadets that showed up for this event, it was a long afternoon and evening for them and they did the Squadron proud. The cadets thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the fireworks display was a spectacular show. I must thank the Kenilworth Round Table for invited us to help them with the event and I hope we can continue to support them in future years”.
