Somewhere between the ironing, the last-minute searches for a missing beret, and the mysterious ability of a uniform to collect an entire field’s worth of grass stains between the car and the front door, you’ve become an honorary member of 1015 Squadron. Thank you — genuinely — for the driving, the washing, the early alarms on parade nights, and for putting up with a house that now smells faintly of boot polish. None of what your cadet does here would be possible without you, so this page is here to make your life a little easier: how to reach us, what to do when kit goes wrong, and where to find everything else you need.
GETTING IN TOUCH
Got a question, need to let us know about an absence, or just want to double-check what night it is (it’s always Tuesday or Thursday)? Give us a call on 01403 210426 during parade times, or send a message through our contact form and a member of staff will get back to you.
UNIFORM & KIT
Cadets have a habit of growing at the worst possible moment, usually about a week after their uniform finally fits. If something’s too small, too big, or has mysteriously vanished, don’t rush out to buy anything — just have a word with staff on a parade night or drop us a message, and we’ll sort out an exchange from squadron stores.
PARADE NIGHTS & WHAT TO BRING
We parade weekly on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the dress code changes week to week — you’ll always find the next one in the banner running along the top of this site, so there’s no excuse for turning up in the wrong kit (we’ve all done it). For the full calendar of parades, camps and other events, take a look below.
FORMS & PAPERWORK
Consent forms, medical declarations, and other essential paperwork all live in one place, kept up to date so you’re never chasing an old version. A few of these need completing before your cadet can take part in certain activities, so it’s worth bookmarking this one.
KEEPING CADETS SAFE
The safety and wellbeing of every cadet is our top priority. If you ever have a concern, however small, please don’t sit on it — speak to any member of staff or contact our safeguarding team directly using the guide below.
