County Cross Country, 14 Jan 2012 01/10/2012
Timings for the cross country this Saturday are as follows: Outward journey: 0800 hrs Alnwick (3 cdts) 0815 hrs Rothbury (5 cdts + 1 adult) 0845 hrs Otterburn (Border Reiver)(max 7 cdts) 0945 hrs Cramlington Return journey: 1330 hrs Cramlington 1430 hrs Otterburn (Border Reiver) 1500 hrs Rothbury 1515 hrs Alnwick All cadets attending will need running kit, including something warm and waterproof, and a packed lunch. Unfortunately, given a lack of drivers and transport, we only have the one bus which SSI Dullaghan will be driving. To that end it is necessary to make some compromises on the transport front: - The Belford cadet is asked to make his own way to Alnwick. If he can't get to Alnwick then he can stand down from the event. - The Bellingham cadets, no more than 7, are asked to make their own way to Otterburn Border Reiver. If they can't do that then they are to stand down from the event. - Other Detachments not mentioned on the transport plan above are not to send cadets to the event.

 W Company's resident javelin champion, Cdt James Scott, was presented with his national colours this evening. James, who threw a personal best 38.2 metres at the National Championships last weekend, was welcomed home by proud Company Commander, Major Mark Ewart, and Detachment Commander, SI Zoe Luke. Major Ewart is seen congratulating James on his triumphant return to the Friendliest Port. His brassard is now looking rather full, so I hope the RSM isn't reading.  Amble Cadet Throws A Mean Spear 06/13/2010
 Cdt James Scott of Amble Detachment has struck gold by winning the intermediate boys javelin at the Army Cadet Force's National Athletics Championships held in Grantham yesterday. James, a cadet at Amble for the past three years, stunned onlookers at the County Athletics last month by throwing 30 metres, which was a good 10 metres better than his nearest rival. Details of James' national winning distance haven't yet made it as far as W Company HQ, but we'll publish the raw statistics here as soon as we know them. Cpl Jack Hale of Rothbury Detachment added to the Company's silverware by coming second place in the senior boys 4 x 100 m relay. Our congratulations go to both James and Jack on their tremendous achievement.  W Company Athletes 05/08/2010
 Cdt Catherine Phillips of Broomhill makes her winning jump. Forty cadets from W Company again made us proud by achieving success in Northumbria ACF's County Athletics Meeting, at Monkton Stadium earlier today.  Cpl Jack Hale of Rothbury gets off to a flying start in the 400m, which he goes on to win. The following cadets managed to win their events:
 LCpl Kate Netherwood of Alnwick two laps into her 1500m victory. Medals were presented at the end of the day by Deputy Commandant, Lt Col Sue Haughie TD, and Regional Director of Sport, Lt Col Jimmy Brown.  Cdt James Scott of Amble brings home the bacon with this 30 m winning throw.  Cdt Liam Jefferson of Alnwick achieves silver in the intermediate boys high jump with 1.60 m. Despite our mammoth haul of silverware we only managed third place in the overall competition, mainly due to our lack of older competitors. We'll not have that problem next year, when a lot of the names above will have moved up to the next age category.  Cpl Jack Hale throws a mean spear as well as being nimble on his feet. A huge thank you to everyone who worked so hard and made the day so successful.  Cpl Greg Hogarth of Berwick makes his second place discus throw. | ArchivesJanuary 2012 CategoriesAll |
