Great honour yesterday (Fri 11th) that 2 senior cadets, the RSMI and myself got to meet and chat with the King at Balmoral Castle at a tree planting and dedication ceremony to the late Queen by the A&SH Regimental Association and to represent the ACF as part of the Argyll family

Did you know the ACF Media Conference js planned to take place 16-18 June this year?

If you are a county Media officer be sure to sign up, if not give your county media officer a nudge. 👍🏻

Great camp visit to Lothian and Borders Bn ACF at Altcar today. Many thanks to the Comdt and team for hosting me. Also it was brilliant to see their Platinum Jubilee Coin and Commandants Coin. Very nicely done. Keep up the good work - ‘Inspire to Achieve’.
