Quick visit from Operation Ice cream to the TIBUA. Lovely refreshing treat. Thank you to the CTT for our treat! The de Ferrers Academy

Another full-on day for the Cadets, this time focusing on TIBUA. They worked through building entry drills and room clearance, learning to move with purpose and communicate under pressure. Some strong teamwork on display, with the section leads stepping up and guiding their teams

A great day of challenges and teamwork for our cadets on Thursday. They pushed through the obstacle course, got hands-on with radio communications, took part in a vehicle checkpoint scenario, and handled a first aid simulation with focus and determination.

To celebrate a week of hard work, cadets let their hair down at the Altcar Festival – Altfest. There was dancing, glitter face paint, burgers, ice cream, and plenty of laughs. The evening finished with a fantastic firework display lighting up the sky.
