- Cadets wishing to participate should check the box on the mess dinner registration page of our website. Participating cadets are to purchase a present to the value of $10. These should be wrapped as one gift so as to keep any parts together. On the night, cadets bring the gifts to our mess dinner. Gifts will be placed on a table for display and numbered. Cadets will then select a number from a hat and that present is then theirs. The presents should be displayed before supper and we will select numbers and distribute after supper.
