2011 was no exception to this and the Squadron were there stronger than ever. The band played many of their signature tunes including 1224, Aces High and Highland Cathedral. The usual Drum Major, FS Alex Chambers, was unable to make the parade so Cdt Jonathan Forward took over the role instead. Despite only having been taught a little bit Cadet Forward did a brilliant job leading the band through the streets of Addingham.
On the field the Squadron held it's usual tombola stall which raised £120. In addition to this there was also a large selection of cakes and sandwiches made by Mrs Whitaker which went down a treat and also raised £237!
Cadets also collected for RAFA during the day and raised $### selling pin badges and a name-me claim-me teddy bear.
Thankfully despite some earlier concerns about the weather the rain held off and we even had some sun before the end of the day when 8 cadets along with Flt Lt Leighton and WO Wood travelled down to RAF Halton to take part in the National Air Cadet Marching Band.
