When you join the ATC you get the chance to do lots of activities that you would never normally take part in, some quite challenging but all conducted in a safe environment with trained Instructors and Staff to look after you.
These include, amongst others, gliding, flying, shooting, radio training and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. All Cadets over 16 are also encouraged to participate in the V involved Team Scheme and gain 50 and 250 hours of service to the Community, receiving a Certificate at the end of each period of service. We also offer you the opportunity to gain a BTEC and NVQ whilst a member of the Air Training Corps, helping you with your future employment.
You will also get the opportunity to visit RAF Stations, go on Easter, Autum and Annual Camps and take part in Adventure training weekends. There are also regular opportunities to visit RAF Stations abroad.
The Air Cadets offer a wide range of sporting opportunities for those who are keen in Football, Hockey, Rugby, Netball, together with swimming and athletics and many more.
Locally 2028 Squadron is involved in the Annual British Legion Poppy Appeal and Remembrance Sunday Parade in Southam. We also look after the Holy Well a local Heritage Site on behalf of the Town Council and much much more.
Every opportunity we can find within the Training Programme, we go out on Social activities together, allowing the Cadets and Staff to have fun and relax out of uniform. These can be as varied as Ten-Pin Bowling to visiting Air Museums.
