We have received word from the hosting squadron that the Winter Arrow FTX has been cancelled due to adverse conditions. The next exercise 103 squadron will be participating in will be Spring Thunder, scheduled for 27-29 March.

As of today, the Winter Arrow FTX is still on. Given the weather, all cadets attending Winter Arrow must ensure that they are adequately equipped with cold weather kit. Standard combats are not sufficient, please wear layers: a wicking layer (i.e. thermal underwear), a warming layer (fleece, etc.), and a waterproof layer. Waterproof boots are a must, and enough clothing to keep a dry layer on all weekend is also required.

Conditions are variable: dress for snow and rain, the cold and the wet. Be safe!

If you have not already, please download the kit list and permission form: annex_g_-_permission_form___kit_list.pdf. Bring a completed form with you.

Due to the ongoing weather situation, all cadet activities for Thursday, 16 January are cancelled.

There will be no cadets tomorrow, 15 Jan, due to a heavy snowfall forecast which will affect the roads and make them unsafe.
There is no effective speaking tonight, 14 Jan.
At this moment the FTX at the weekend is going ahead. Standby for further information.
