Bag Pack fundraiser
The morning after the Presentation Evening the night before the cadets were active and out in the community packing shopping bags for the public in Morrison's. The squadron turn out in Morrison's each year to raise funds for a specific reason and this year was no different, the reason this year being the new squadron minibus. The supermarket asked for a cadet to write a letter to the manager about our day in the store and Cadet H Stokes was asked to do this.
'On behalf of the Air Cadets in Beccles, we would like to thank you for letting us use your store to fundraise for our squadron, and for taking good care us throughout the day. Hopefully, we managed to raise a lot for our mini bus so all the cadets can enjoy every opportunity given, we would like to thank you for giving us the chance for this and helping the squadron.
Not only did the cadets enjoy the fundraising, we also enjoyed all the friendly hospitality given to us by all the staff, they we very nice to socialise with and made the day even better.
We hope we will be doing the same next year and have as much fun as we did this time.
Thanks again for the support and for giving us an opportunity to raise money and help our squadron.'
The final total for this year was £763.32. Well done to all the cadets who helped pack bags this year. Your hard work will go a long way in helping maintain the new squadron minibus.
