After a long Covid shutdown, we held our first Open/Presentation evening. The cadets arranged some display stands and entertained their parents and guests with some audience participation,
As a climax to the evening, the Squadron presented trophies and awards to some lucky cadets, well done everyone!!
Following an evening of leadership and team exercises, @team2499 had an award ceremony with gliding, shooting, first aid badges awarded and for a lucky few, promotions. Well done to all!
The following consent forms are required for EVERY off-site activity.
The TG21 is the main form, complete this and if you tick the box that there is some medical information we need to know then complete the TG23 form.
2499 ATC Squadron Civilian Committee (CivCom)
Every ATC squadron has its own Civilian Committee comprised of current/past parents/guardians of cadets, past cadets and other volunteers. The squadron's Commanding Officer also sits on the committee.
The role of 2499 ATC Squadron's Civilian Committee is to:
- raise funds to help cadets get the most out of their time in the squadron (through subscriptions, social events, quiz nights, supermarket bag packs and other means)
- manage squadron funds and approve expenditure requests
- provide practical support to the uniformed staff
- keep parents of cadets informed about fundraising events and other cadet events
We are a very friendly team who meet six times per year at squadron HQ on a squadron meeting night (either a Monday or Wednesday).
If you are interested in helping 2499 ATC squadron to be successful you are very welcome to join us as a Civilian Committee member (it is not a big commitment). To find out more please speak to the squadron staff or email the Committee directly at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
A few hours of your time will make a big difference to many young people!
Many thanks,
Civilian Committee Chair, 2499 ATC Squadron
