CCF Field Day

A large number of Everett pupils took part in varied and exciting activities on CCF Field Day this week. The RN cadets travelled down to HMS Bristol spending overnight on board, before transferring to our parent establishment base HMS Collingwood. Here they were given a tour and demonstration of new weapons systems, before being put to the test on practical leadership tasks and a low ropes course. The Army and RAF sections travelled to Bramley training area, basha building, first aid, section attacks, cooking in the field and a night patrol were among the training stands on offer. However the highlight for some lucky Y11 and 12 cadets was a trip in Lynx helicopter provided by the Army Air Corps.
