OMPANY ALMA COMPANY'S FIRST WEEKEND CAMP Some people stay in bed on Friday the 13th, but cadets from Alnwickhill, Bonnyrigg, Dalkeith, Gilmerton, Loanhead and Penicuik detachments defied superstition as they headed off to their very first weekend as members of the newly formed Alma Company. The basis of the weekend was to get to know everyone so groups were mixed and completed a round robin of events including .22 shooting, Navigation ex, Patrol Skills, Command tasks and a first aid scenario. Saturday was complete with a disco and karaoke night. Everyone enjoyed themselves and declared it a successful first weekend. 15
