ISSUE 02 | WINTER 2013/14 MINDEN COMPANY For our last camp of 2013 we travelled to Otterburn in Northumberland. One of the best things about Otterburn is the ranges, so we of course used these to their full potential with many of our cadets getting to shoot on a range they never had before. We identified some great shots and many of our cadets received shooting badges. As well as this, more star testing was completed while our Two Stars were put through their paces in preparation for their up-coming Three Star. Cdt. L. McIntosh to Cdt. L/Cpl (6 Platoon) Cdt. K.
