I'm interested in becoming a member of 2200 (Oldham) Squadron, what do I do next?As A Cadet Interested? Then why not try an evening at the Squadron to see if you may enjoy it? Cadet membership is open to young people, both male and female, between 13 and 20 years old who accept the challenge. We welcome prospective cadets any parade evening. There are no specific joining dates and so you may simply come along to the Squadron any Monday or Wednesday between 7.00pm and 9.30pm with your parents to see what you think. Your parents don't have to stay the entire evening but we do need to meet them. It does help us, however, to know in advance whether to expect visitors so better to drop us a note via our email just so say you are planning to attend. As A Member of Staff There are a number of Uniformed and Non-uniformed roles for adults within the Air Cadet Organisation. As an adult you can join the ATC as a Civilian Instructor and even become a uniformed Officer. You do not need to be ex-Services to have the skills to make a difference. All staff are volunteers. Each Squadron or Unit is led by Commissioned Officers from the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (Training Branch). Within the Air Training Corps they are supported by Adult Warrant Officers and SNCO's with Civilian Instructors completing the team. We welcome prospective staff any parade evening. There are no specific joining dates and so you may simply come along to the Squadron any Monday or Wednesday between 7.00pm and 9.30pm and see what you think. It does help us, however, to know in advance whether to expect visitors so better to drop us a note via our email just so say you are planning to attend. As A Member of the Committee The Civilian Committee, which each ATC Squadron must have, takes responsibility for the overall management/direction of the Sqn, fundraising etc. Many parents and friends get a great deal of enjoyment, satisfaction and fun from working in this important area. If you would like to join the Civilian Committee then please contact us via email or telephone on a parade evening and we will let you know when the next Committee meeting is (they run once every two months) and make arrangements for you to attend. |
