Well thanks to @BritishGas we are without heating and hot water for yet another day.
#our 3 month old boiler was wired in by an @BritishGas cowboy who thought the life of my family was worth rushing his job for!
Today’s emergency appointment was cancelled by @BritishGas!

In just over 4 months I will be taking part in the Great South Run.

This year I’m raising funds for Brain Tumour Research in memory of two friends who have succumbed in recent years.

Anything you can give will be appreciated.

@QM_Devon @ColCadetsACF Is there a chart/list available? I know a few cdts/CFAV who have the nearest size combination possible rather than the size they actually need…

[QM Devon (RFCA PSS) 🪖 @QM_Devon]

The sizes for MTP PCS have been updated, there is now a greater range (36 sizes of each) in both Trousers & Shirts.

Good news for our smaller Cadets in ill fitting (large) uniforms👌🏼

[OC Sword Wilts ACF @OCSwordWiltsACF]

We are trying to put on a celebration dinner for Sword Coy Cdts, but our usual contact is unable to loan us crockery or cutlery.

Does anyone here know of suppliers I could contact, or where we could acquire plates, glasses, bowls, cutlery for c75 people to cater a 3 course meal?

Congratulations go to our newly promoted Detachment Commander of Calne, who was presented her Staff Sergeant (SSI), by Colonel Haggerty tonight.

Great achievement & much deserved

[Tim Stokes @Timothystokes11]

@readinghalf - despite running the race (with bib/chip) & there being photos of me on the course & approaching the finish line. Apparently I don’t get to have a finish time. Very disheartened & deflated after I’d set a PB today!
