The spring is always a busy time for the Army Cadets.
During the run up to their summer camp they take part in events as varied as shooting matches, sports meetings, D of E expeditions and cadet skills competitions.
This weekend they have just completed company camping and a fieldcraft exercise at Rumster Forest. Thirty seven cadets and nine adults took part. Activity was split into three grades by age and experience.
The fair weather helped make it a success.
