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

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.
