Minden Company's First Virtual Training Weekend is a real success!
On Sunday the 7th June 2020, Minden Company held it's final parade of the first virtual training weekend. All staff, Cadet DS and Cadets worked hard thorughout the weekend with different subjects were covered.
Minden Company Training Officer 2Lt Tolley who organised the weekend said:
“I never expected to have to organise a virtual training weekend, however due to the current situation we are in as a country, virtual training has had to replace face to face training for the time being”
Minden Company Second in Command, Capt. Reilly said:
“What a weekend. Well done to all of the adults, Cadet DS and everyone that took part in the planned sessions. You worked your socks off. I saw some very innovative training and fantastic contributions throughout this weekend.
The parade closed with the announcement of four virtual promotions:
LCpl to Cpl:
Cpl Bott-Prior - Rugby
Cpl Tuft - Rugby
Cpl to Sgt:
Sgt Chan - Wyken
Sgt Abbit - Rugby
Congratulations to the newly promoted NCOs.
During the final parade the OC, Maj. Curran, made special mention of the Cadet DS involved for their contributions (RSM Kerber, SSgt Farmer, Sgt Cleaver and Cpl Chan). Sgt Cleaver got a particular mention due to her efforts in quickly creating 7 kahoot quizzes to support training
