3. The Army
Cadet Force
(1965 College Magazine)
Last year the summer camp was held
at Bodney, near Thetford. As this is so near most of our homes, almost all
contingents were represented by fewer cadets than usual. However, the camp was a
successful one, with exercises on the Stanford Battle Area, a day's .303
shooting on Thetford Range, and an artillery demonstration of the latest weapons
used by the Army. Lieut. Staveley also managed to take a few of us for an
afternoon's gliding at Tibbenham.
In the English Counties Cadet Sports
Cadets Biggs and Wardale represented Norfolk. Biggs came second in the mile and
Wardale fourth in the hurdles. At the end of the autumn term Lieut. Staveley
took over command of the unit when Captain Swann left the College. Captain Swann
had had the responsibility and hard work of the formation of the unit, and I
would like to take this opportunity of thanking him for his efforts on our
behalf.
At the beginning of the Spring Term
Mr. Fox joined us, and his commission should be through by the beginning of the
next school year. Through his energetic enthusiasm the assault course has now
been all but finished and should be frequently used next year.
Congratulations to Sgt. Peterkin,
who passed a Certificate "T" exam. in mechanical engineering during the year.
Six cadets were awarded the Norfolk Cadet Force leadership certificate, and the
red lanyard which goes with it, at the end of the annual camp last year.
During the Easter holidays S/Sgt.
Haw and Cpl. Marfleet went to an advanced training camp in Yorkshire, and
there completed a course designed for the expedition section for the gold medal
of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. They report that it was an enjoyable
experience apart from the wind and rain.
On the 12th and 13th of June some
twenty cadets went to take part in .303 shooting at Horsford Range. Grouping and
application were fired at 100 and 200 yards, and valuable experience gained.
Regular .22 shooting is still a problem, but eight or nine cadets generally go
to the Wymondham Range each week.
At the end of this term the A.C.F.
is going for a two-day camp at Weybread, where cadets will be responsible for
their own cooking and general camping arrangements. Let us hope there will not
be too many cases of food poisoning to report in next year's magazine.
Subsequently the Summer Camp will be held at Lydd in Kent, and at least thirty
cadets are expected to represent the College.
With the probability of our becoming
a Combined Cadet Force next year, our numbers are on the increase. I hope that
this will continue, and that the Corps has every success in the future.

string, told where to camp and left to get on with it. As the photos show,
some people were more success-ful at making bivouacs than others!" |

rain and it was a real struggle to find ANY dry clothes to wear."
