Cadets from will soon enough be heading to summer training.

Cadets going to camp should already be carefully reading their documentation ( and sharing it with their parents) - it covers lots of information.

- the departure location has MOVED - it's no longer on homer watson - it has moved to 97 and 401. See the details IN your document package.
