CCF Biennial Inspection

Wednesday saw Colonel R C Maybery and his inspecting team visit the Combined Cadet Force (CCF) for their biennial inspection. 

 

Starting with a visit to St. Oswald’s the team saw a variety of activities in which the cadets demonstrated clarity of mind and quickness of foot.

 

The Colonel then saw water barrels traverse bottomless chasms, raised radio aerials and fixed rafts. In all cases the cadets spoke with authority and were well versed in talking to Senior Officers. 

 

 

After seeing the RAF Section demonstrate their knowledge and skills in campcraft there followed a glorious lunch. 

 

Then it was on to Tiddesley Woods, Pershore, to witness the Army Section at work in the art of campcraft,  camouflage techniques as well as patrol observations. 

 

 

Colonel Maybery expressed his thanks to the cadets on St.Oswalds as well as those at Tiddelsey Wood and congratulated the School CCF on a good inspection – commenting that he was mightily impressed with their turnout and enthusiasm.
