Socialising
is a very important part of life on an Air Squadron. We meet once
a week during term time at our town headquarters, near central Cambridge.
This "town night" consists of a meal and a short presentation
and then the Squadron retires to our own bar.
In addition to these weekly meetings there are
various annual formal occasions (Annual Dinner, Christmas Draw,
Summer Ball, Leavers' Dinner) as well as various other, more regular, social
occasions including Formal Halls at Cambridge Colleges. All of this
of course in in addition to any socialising done after sporting
events or on adventure training expeditions.
The Squadron also goes away as a unit during the
Easter vacation to a nearby RAF Station or Camp for a
one week "team building" camp. The primary aim of this
camp is to foster the team spirit that is pervasive through all
of the squadron's activities. During this week many activities are
available, including paintballing, leadership tasks, sports, and a great many other activities.
