We got the chance to go rock climbing and kayaking, we went walking and got chance to go swimming too including spending a fabulous day at water world in Ayia Napa. We went to St Hilarion castle which was massive and very interesting. We also spent an evening on a boat which included live music, bbq food and the chance to jump off the boat into the sea which was fantastic. We also spent some time doing team building exercises and familiarization exercise which helped to cement friendships that I will keep even after returning to the UK; the staff were amazing and made the entire time brilliant in every way. We spent time at Turtle Beach of course as the weather was hot every day. We ate out at lovely restaurants and This month there have been several promotions. So on behalf of all the cadets I would like to say a well done to Corporal's B. Giles & Frost who got promoted to the rank of Sergeant and to Cadets Mathias, Pagett, Alder & Phillips. For achieving the rank of Corporal. Cadet of the Month – July This month the cadet of the month is slightly different. Long before this newsletter was published it was decided that Cdt. R. Phillips was to be July’s ‘Cadet of the Month’ for his excellent commitment and the fantastic work he produces in the form of the squadrons new website. However just before the newsletter was released his efforts were rewarded by his promotion to Corporal. So on behalf of the NCO team, well done and good luck in your new role. also had time to shop at mini markets and duty free. We got the chance to see a movie in our down time along with playing a few sports and swimming. We also enjoyed a visit to the UN including a good look around the now disused airport. I learnt so much from this visit. My entire visit to Cyprus was packed full of fantastic and interesting adventures and I must say that it was one of the best experiences of my life. We travelled back on the 28th July after having ten amazing, fun filled days away. Air Cadets have afforded me so many wonderful opportunities but I have to say that this is by far the best yet.
