After a busy weekend it's time to sit back and reflect. From 17 Sqn parading at the cenotaph, 221 Sqn at Lewisham and 579 representing the Regiment and Royal Tonbridge Wells, Southborough and Guilford. 101 had representation in East Anglia, Essex, London, Kent and Surrey. Well done one and all.

Huge thank you to everyone that supported us on this years challenge as we have now passed our target of £4000 by some way. Very humbling as we appreciate times are hard right now for so many people, but on behalf of 221 Fd Sqn we appreciate all your support
Cracking night for the London Military Boxing Club, they held their home show at the Sheraton Grand Hotel. This year is our tenth anniversary we hope the next ten are even better.
Fantastic weekend for 221 Fd Sqn (EOD). They completed their annual challenge, every year changing the challenge to keep everyone on their toes. The Blanchard challenge is in memory of Spr Will Blanchard who was sadly KIA. This year the challenge was to complete 24 marathons in 24 hrs, but the Squadron went above and beyond and completed 34 marathons between 18 competitors. This event was conducted at Bewlwater. It was great to see Mrs Sue Blanchard and her Sister pay the Squadron a visit a great moral boost for all. Huge thanks to Capt Loughrey and SQMS McGuire for all their hard work over the weekend. We are now already looking forward to next years challenge.
Fantastic result at the Inter Corps Road Race Championship, in the ladies Championship Race today at Redbridge Cycling Center. Second place behind the RAPTCI, huge congratulations to Angela, Hanna and Brooke on a massive team effort.
