Saturday 4 March – Biathlon Training Workshop

On Saturday 4 March, we will be running a biathlon training day. Biathlon is running or skiing in combination with shooting.

This activity day will run from 10:00-15:00 (10AM-3PM) and will be held at Wolseley High School.

Lunch will be provided.

We will be outdoors for part of the day. Cadets will need to dress for the weather, bring indoor shoes, and bring a water bottle. Dress will be civilian attire.

Sun 19 March – Around the Pole Activity

Throughout the training year we learn about airplanes and how they fly. This activity gives the cadets a hands on way of seeing it in action. Cadets will design and build a small model airplane from supplied materials, foam board, hot glue, 3D printed parts and a small electric motor. We then hook their creations to a guide wire attached to a central pole and test to see how well it flies…. or not. Cadets make adjustments to their designs to make the best flying machine they can.

Last year cadets had a blast and it was a great time. Please plan to attend.

This activity will be at the hall and will run from 10:00-15:00 (10AM-3PM).

Dress will be appropriate civilian attire. Cadets should bring a water bottle.

Lunch will be provided.
