I’d like to give a huge thank you to Lt Col Grace Edinburgh for serving as the Coordinator for the Wing Cadet Competition. These events are difficult to put on, as they rely on a large amount of precise preparation and specialized facilities to conduct a fair & exciting competition.
Thank you’s are also in order for Lt Col Edinburgh’s staff – without their assistance, we could not put on an activity like this:
