Following the highly successful open evening held in 2008, 487 Sqn are to repeat the event on Thursday 7 th May 2009.

Prior to the open evening in 2008, the Sqn thought that they would be lucky to get 20-30 people to attend, but over 60 actually attended the night and all had a great time.

The evening is due to start at 1930 and is designed to showcase the cadet’s abilities to both their parents/guardians and to also encourage new cadets to join the ATC.

The Sqn cadets have been working on a drill display which will be given by the Sqn’s wing field training day team, and also a continuity drill display to be given by all the sqn cadets, set to music! There will also be an inter-flight DofE exercise and also talks on the CVQO scheme and other academic lines open to cadets in the ATC.

So, if you live in the Kingstanding or Perry Barr area why not pop down to the Kingstanding TA Centre, Kingstanding Road, on 7 th May? We aim to start at 1930hrs and the evening will be concluded at around 2100hrs.

Go on, We Dare You!
