February's News from 2200 (Oldham) Squadron

Air Cadets  Jordan  Crowther,  Matthew  Howarth and  Connor  Povey-Hillan, Alexander Richards, (all 14), members of 2200 (Oldham) Squadron Air Training Corps,  have successfully completed trials and have represented  East Lancashire Wing Air Training Corps at rugby. This entitles them to wear the coveted “Wing Blue” on their cadet sports kits in recognition of their achievement. In addition, Alexander and Jordan have also been selected to represent the North Region ATC at rugby.

 

Jordan, Michael and Alexander, joined the squadron six months ago, whereas. Connor has been in the Squadron for only 3 months. Connor said:” I really did not expect to be selected to represent the Wing especially as I have only been with the Squadron for a short time. I joined the air cadets as I had heard that a variety of activities and sports are available”

 

Alexander and Jordan are no strangers to sporting success as they represented East Lancashire Wing at football last year. Alexander has also represented North Region ATC at football.

 

Flying Officer Mike Holroyd, Officer in Charge of the Squadron said: “Everyone in the Squadron is thrilled for these cadets. This achievement is amazing, especially for Connor considering he has been with the squadron for such a short time. We are very proud of them.”
