468 (Hyde & Hattersley) Squadron will be holding its first recruitment night of 2017/18 on Monday 18th September. You need to be in at least year 8 at school and can join upto 17 years old. What do you get from it? Aside from flying, sports, target shooting, adventure training and great fun? You’ll soon find that being an air cadet is its own reward - you constantly see the benefits of your own efforts, building on your achievements and earning BTECs and DoE Awards. You'll be expected to take part in as many of the activities we run as possible, but with what's on offer you won't need much persuading! Come on down and see us on the 18th. Event starts at 19:30. For more information and to register you interest email the commanding officer at oc.468@aircadets.org or why not message us on facebook?
