Congratulations to everyone who won an award!
Our squadron was also kindly gifted a defibrillator by our Civillian Comittee Chairman John Sharkey and his company. Thank you very much, sir!
It is with great sadness that we also said goodbye to our OC Fg-Off Champion-Williams. Fg Off Champion-Williams joined us 12 months ago and has worked hard with the staff and NCO team to ‘Make Huyton Great Again!’ (His words, not ours). It has been an honour to have him as our OC, and we wish him the best in his future endeavours!
With the stepping down of Fg Off Champion-Williams, we welcome in a new era for our squadron and a new OC! Our very own Sgt Holmes has stepped up and will be starting in her role as the new Officer Commanding of 1982 Huyton Squadron in January.
We hope all of our cadets had a wonderful night and we’d like to wish all of our cadets, staff, civilian committee, and families a very happy holidays and a happy new year!
See you in January and enjoy the break!
