BECCLES CADETS GAIN STAR AWARDS

This is the text and photograph submitted by CSM Mark Galley:
Eight Army Cadets from Beccles recently have successfully gained their Two Star Award. All eight, who attend the Sir John Leman High School in Beccles, gained their award through a lot of hard work. They all completed the gruelling 15-mile expedition in the Peak District, a shooting test, various military assessments and also the St John’s Essentials First Aid award.
Sergeant Major Mark Galley who runs the unit at Beccles said: ‘All the Cadets have worked really hard over the last few months especially on their expedition where the weather was extremely bad. At this stage it is about working as a team and helping each other out. They can now look at themselves with a lot of credit and with a sense of achievement by gaining their two star.’
The cadets received the award at Lowestoft TA Centre from Captain Les Jackson.
Anyone interested joining the cadets can contact 01502 714943 or visit the unit on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at the Drill hall in Peddars Lane.

In alphabetical surname order: Cadets Jamie Barnard, Kirsty Featherstone, Lindsey Guy, Jon Hampson, Jon Hoffman, Lee Knowles and Syd Payne.
Missing from the photo is Cadet Gavin Hewitt.
