I always remind my cfav's that even though I am commandant I am still a cfav top. Had a great day being RCO on the range on Sunday. Can't wait for the next opportunity to teach cadets. @ArmyCadetsUK @CambsACF @CE_EA_RFCA @ColCadetsACF

@CambsACF had a great year with recruitment, with almost 100 new cadets, meaning they now have 850 cadets training. They've also seen an expansion of their adult volunteers, with 161 adults on strength, and another 65 waiting to come on-board ow.ly/v9Cu50QRlJh #WeAreEARFCA

I've been doing a lot of reflecting too about how @CambsACF can develop and assist on a national scale.

I have been reflecting on the ACF Conference this weekend at Grantham. It was an excellent event and attended by 49 of our 54 counties. Lots of information, discussion and debate. Many thanks to all that attended , supported or participated. Looking forward to the next year.
