You mean ‘Fall in the fun police’, by the centre Quick March!!!
“If the fun starts, stop”
In all my years lurking on this website, that comment has amused me the most.
Well played!
As we move into dining-in night season and some squadrons will have already made a financial commitment, expect a, “Due to the emergence of discrepancies in the way squadrons conduct dining-in nights, and the need to carry out a HQAC led review, all dining-in nights are paused with immediate effect!”
Would this be a ‘it’s a bit windy’ kind of pause, or more of a ‘gliding is paused’? Maybe it’s closer to a ‘all drone flying is paused’’ kind of pause?
We hold staff dinners and used to invite the over 18 cadets, it was a great way to bridge the gap and encourage them to become staff. Given this new policy, it is unlikely the we will invite any over 18 cadets again.
I mean, that has never technically been allowed. Lots of people did it. But it goes against policy that already existed. Arguably this policy change doesn’t change anything in your given scenario.
This is very interesting, we only have a duty of care when the parents or guardians leave their children with us. If there are present then we cannot have a duty of care.
What happens if during a RAFAC function a parents buys their 18 year old child a pint of Lager? Do we say sorry your child cannot drink as I have a duty of care here not you?
Over 18s are adults and share our duty of care for younger cadets. It seems ridiculous to treat them the same as 12 year olds when it suits !
I completely agree, it’s absolute madness with the double standards of Staff Cadets - they should be staff! But we’re straying into a different thread on that one… keeping it on topic, if cadets are present, I’m a firm believer in not promoting alcohol consumption full stop.
