QMGS CCF

@ApoopanThadi Cadets returning early were told details last night and told to confirm with parents...

@QMGSCCF @HQWMCTT @qmgs1554 Good to see this. Do we know what time the transport for the Friday returnees gets back? I.e. those who are in the arts festival

All having a good time so far on the @HQWMCTT annual camp for the exercise phase. @qmgs1554

Some on the long range and some in camp today with @HQWMCTT

Some morr photos form yesterday's exercise on camp with @HQWMCTT

After a wet start to the day, it turned into a nice afternoon for Leadership, signals and some air rifle shooting with y9 cadets. Was interesting to reflect how this group haven't been to @farchynys in y7 due to COVID. @qmgs1554 @qmgs1554qma

Being part of @QMGSCCF has always been a highlight of‘The QM Experience’ for students & staff!Our Pastoral Team(Assistant Heads;Mr Brown & Mr Collins,HOY 7,HOY 8,HOY 10)were all suited & booted in their military gear,ready for action for CCF Field-day with new & existing cadets🫡

A good day on our Field Day today. Shame it rained right at the end!

Start of a new academic year and some exciting training! This weeks parade is just for the adult CFAV. First full parade Fri 16 Sept for existing and new cadets. @qmgs1554 @qmgs1554qma @QMGS_Year_9

@qmgsgeoging First hand experience for @QMGSCCF this week as aspects of training on annual camp were banned because of the extreme wild fire risk!

Wildfires are becoming more common in the UK – but the threat can be managed theconversation.com/wildfires-are-…

What was on offer today at Holcombe Moor 2022 for @HollyLodgeCCF and @QMGSCCF? Long Range shoot, Section Attack and a 10k exercise. Finish off the day with everyone's favourite...weapon cleaning!

Temperatures return to normal so we are back to our planned training, trying to still give everyone the #CadetExperience. Exercise, range and expedition today. Followed by beloved weapon cleaning! @HollyLodgeCCF

@GenBolivar @HollyLodgeCCF @GenBolivar You're missing the swoop/richness of House Martins back out around camp now the temperature has dropped.

@QMGSCCF @HollyLodgeCCF Great to see you out with QMGS CCF. Have a great Camp. I'm with you in spirit, tho' thankful no longer in person.

Arrived with @HollyLodgeCCF for annual camp. Cadets settled in, unpacked, fed and now starting some evening training. All preped ready for adaptions over next few days in the heat, but it's a relief to be here at last after postponing twice due to covid!

Another day of adapted activities at Holcombe Moor 2022. @HollyLodgeCCF and @QMGSCCF cadets took part in another ,22 range, expedition preparation, harbour drills and 'Gold Standard' model building. Exercise starts tonight!

A low paced day today! Scorching in the sun but not too bad inside or in the shade (it's all relative!) Breeze has arrived bringing the change of the weather @HollyLodgeCCF

CO out on some welfare checks of CFAV and cadets (the adults work harder than the cadets 😉) Free flowing water, juice and sun cream. Nice and cool in the shade of the woodblocks. Roasting on the open range! Some cadets practicing proper soldier skills 😴😴 @HollyLodgeCCF

@HollyLodgeCCF and @QMGSCCF summer camp 2022 at Holcombe Moor. 100+ cadets will be tested this week with cadet activities and by the weather! Ice breakers done, kit issued, everyone fed. WHTs to finish off now.

Lots of bird song this morning on Ex Dawn Chorus. Now the cadets are up, fed, and back to training. Thanks to @BSquadronRY for assistance and bringing some fancy kit to look at!

Cadets exploring ration packs for the first time and cooking their meal.

Enjoying discovering a new training area for our field day. And there's a nice breeze on an otherwise hot day!
