2497 COSFORD SQUADRON
Presentation Evening
Athletics
This month the Squadron hosted it’s annual presentation evening. The event was held on the 26th
May at Cosford sports pavilion. There was a lot of
preparation leading up to the evening with many
thanks deserved by Flt. Lt. Vince for organising this
and ensuring the event ran smoothly.
On the 13th of May the squadron took part in inter
squadron athletics. The days weather had been
kind to us and we started the event with a warm up
lap of the track. There was a great turn out which
automatically put us in good stead to take the lead.
The evening is a formal presentation of awards
given to cadets who have really stood out in the
past year. The award winners were as follows:
Best NCO’s - Cpls. Giles & Frost

The first race of the day was the 200m. Everyone
who took part put in maximum effort and were rewarded with some good results.
Throughout the day we had many achievements.
Cdt. Morjaria completely abolished her opponents
and made the 400m look easy. Also a huge well
done is deserved by Cdt. Dhir for taking part in the
grueling 1500m and coming 4th.
Some of our Cadets also received Certificates for
their achievements during the previous year, as
follows:
National Navigation Awards - Cdts Cox, Alder,
Pagett and Ibbs-George.
First Aid - Cpls Giles & Stokes, and Cdts Dowd,
Cook, Mathias & Willey.
The presentations were followed by a few short
speeches, from our boss and other important guests
who then announced that the refreshments were
open. Friendly chatter filled the air. Parents who
had proudly watched, now shared experiences
while their children skulked off in embarrassment.
Besides the track events, the field also saw a lot of
action. Sgt. Collins and Cpl. Beacham both used
their skill to power the javelin through the air with
Cpl. Beacham grabbing the gold medal.
The evening came to an end and as Flt. Lt. Vince
took his place at the front, conversation died down.
He put out a thanks to each cadet and their families for the time and comm ]Y[? ^H?]?H ? B???[?\?][?Y?\? ?X?H?[Y ?H\??[??[Y[? ?? ???[?? \ ? H??? ???Z[??[?H?Y] ?] ?M? ?]XY ??H ?[??] ?Z\?B?[?
