​On the 20th of August our Squadron competed in the Wing Field Day. The main event was drill. However, the Squadron contested in various events such as Modelling, PR and Photography. The Wing Field Day was held at our home turf around 1145 Squadron on MOD Caledonia so the standard was high. The total cadets representing the squadron for drill prepared themselves months in advance for this special day, it all came down these final hours. The final outcome for the wing field day was the drill team being placed 2nd  along with our uniform. The day also consisted of the modelling competition where our CI was highly awarded for his models that he produced he was placed. In Class 4 2nd and 3rd in class 5 CI Turner was placed 3rd.  Cpl Noble also done well in the wing field day, in Class 2 he was placed 3rd also in Class 3 he was awarded 1st and 3rd. Finally, PR which the Sqn won at region last year which was delivered by Sgt Noble, Sgt Richmond and Cpl Clough, they went through what we had done through out the year, how the Sqn recruits and how we use our PR martials and to what purpose. We came 1st at PR and look forward to going to region to represent the wing. 

From the 19th to the 26th of August Cdt Stephens and Cdt Todman went down to RAF Syerston in Newark. We underwent training to get badges such as, blue and bronze comms, both powered and gliding blue wings, and first aid badges. We also went on visits to other RAF bases such as Waddington and Linton. We also got a visit from a chinook. Half way through the week we had a very special visit from Air Commodore Dawn McCafferty and Group Captain Carol Vorderman. As well as this the red arrows, military police and the tornadoes came and visited us at the base. In the evening we would do inter-flight competitions which we really enjoyed and it helped us work on our leadership skills. The camp was an amazing experience, we met lots of new people, learnt new skills and had a great time and if we got the chance we would love to go back there next year. 

Yesterday we had a fantastic result at Regional Field Day for Scotland and Northern Ireland, Our results were..For the second year running, we have been selected winners of the Media and Communications (PR) Competition!Sgt Lewis Noble also received 3rd in modelling for his model of a samurai warrior. 2nd in photography which Sgt Richmond achieved for a photo in ACO in the community. Congratulations and well done to all the people who participated in the day and we hope to do as well next year. 

It was a wet and cold evening on the 21st August at 1145 Squadron. The soaking started with a donation of money in exchange for a wet sponge or a bucket of water. It was the only time us cadets could push around the NCO’s. The first NCO victim was Cpl Craig White. The money raised was for our charity of the year, The Captain David Seath memorial fund. David Seath was an ex cadet of 1145 Sqn and an inspiration to the current cadets. After the soaking, the NCO’s got dried and pizza was ordered in celebration of the excellent effort in second place for the drill team.  
 

Swimming
On Sunday the 3rd of September Sgt Black and Cpl Stephens attended the wing swimming competition at Dean’s high school. We had to swim different types of swimming styles, there were back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, free style and the medley. Both Sgt Black and Cpl Stephens took part in the breast stroke and freestyle. Sgt Black got silver in the breast stroke. Lots of cadets from different squadrons turned up from our wing to take part in this event. It was a really enjoyable event as we met lots of new people and had great fun doing the swimming. We really enjoyed taking part in this event and would love to do it again next time.
