The Achiever Issue 02 - Winter 2013/14 | Page 9

RHINE COMPANY Cadets from Rhine Company took part in the Annual Edinburgh Christmas Light Night helping raise funds for Radio Forth's Cash For Kids. A very cold and busy day saw performances on the many stages across George Street & included an appearance from Olympic Gold Medalist Sir Chris Hoy. This is not the first time Cadets from the Battalion have been involved in raising funds for the local charity. Many Cadets from Rhine Coy also “jetted off” to Edinburgh Airport where they raised further funds. The Cadets collectively through 2013 managed to raise over £1000 for the Charity and as a reward were invited to the home of 97.3 Forth One to be presented with a Certificate and given a tour of the Radio Station where they also got to meet Drivetime Presenter Dave Connor and Travel Jo. Other fundraising events since May have included car washing with the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service as well as their own Bagpacks to bring more Coy funds in for Weekend Camps and of course this years Annual Camp in Altcar. Well done all of you!! 9
