Hi,
Today at C&L WTD we did all the competitions and then waited on final parade for over a hour and then they said the winners but then realised they were wrong so they told us to go home because something had gone wrong with the scores.
What ciuld have possiably gone wrong.
Perhaps they added up the scores wrong? Or the spreadsheet was adding up the wrong cells? Or someone put the wrong scores into the wrong boxes.
There was a problem processing the results (thus partly explaining the delay).
The results that were produced at the end of the day were inaccurate, for which OC Wing immediately apologised once this was realised, and - given the fact that people had already had to wait - dismissed everyone with a promise that results would be recalculated ASAP and promulgated via SharePoint.
OC Wing also undertook to visit all Sqns that had won a competition to present the award(s).
To be fair, as disappointing as this was, there was nothing else that could have been done in the circumstances.

Lets have it right cdtclarke, by “waiting on parade” you mean had to sit in a dry (if somewhat hot) school hall for over an hour - not actually waiting on parade. Having said that, it was inconvenient for all, and a disappointing end to the day for everyone (Wing staff included).
One Whole hour?? how did you cope?? 
Hurry Up and Wait, is that not the ATC mantra.
On topic, sometimes these things happen, and thankfully on this occasion it has been noticed and a sensible decision was made not to keep the cadets waiting for the revised results.

Very true but how about on the bus off the bus??
Joking aside waiting around is something you will have to do a lot in life in the Forces or not at least you got to do it sitting down in the dry not like you were stood still for over an hour…
