We still have a few outstanding validations. If you have not yet returned them please bring them this week. If you need another copy, please see 2Lt Drew so she can get the appropriate documents to you.
Tri-Service Volleyball Invitation
41 Hercules RCACS (Regina) has invited us to the volleyball tournament they are hosting on 23 November, 2019. The tournament will be held at Pilot Butte School. Lunch will be provided.
If you are interested in participating on a team to represent 691 Hawk, please speak to Captain Walton or 2Lt Drew. We will need to submit our team before 1 November. We will need a minimum of 8 cadets for a team.
We are still looking for a few juniors (under 15) to participate.
Level 5 Workshop
The level 5 Workshop is a mandatory tri-service workshop for 5th year cadets. This weekend exercise reviews topics like time management, dynamic instruction, ethics, personal development and more.
Due to the number of cadets eligible for this training weekend, they have split it into two weekends. Our weekend has been changed to 29 November – 1 December. It will now be held in Dallas Valley. Please see 2Lt Drew Monday night to confirm whether or not you can attend.
More details to follow.
Ground School
Ground school is open to all cadets who are interested in taking the gliding or power flying exams in early January 2020.
Ground School will resume on Sunday, 27 October. The class will be held at the Regina Armoury (1600 Elphinstone St) from 18:00- 21:00 (6PM-9PM)
Please let Captain Walton know if you are attending ground school as there is paper work that needs to be completed.

Technology Project
We are always trying to expand the program and offer different programs so there is something for everyone. Captain Walton is looking to offer an optional technology project. As air cadets, we would like to keep it related to aviation but are welcome to all ideas.
Do you have any ideas you would be interested in?
Is there a cool activity you did at summer training you’d like to expand on?
See an interesting project or activity and think we should try that? Let Captain Walton know!
Current ideas include:
- A code club, building and coding some sort of game or program. Possibility of using a Raspberry Pi or a micro controller like a Adruino
- Learning more about basic electronics
- Build a robot to preform a specific task.
- Build a fighting robot (battle BOT).
- Build and program a homemade drone or RC airplane.
- Build an air plane tracker like a piaware flight feeder. https://flightaware.com/adsb/piaware/
- Tear down and rebuild a small 4 stroke motor
- Air Traffic Control live simulation
