DACRE Sword and Broach 2015

I read on the Commandants Facebook the other week that she would be announcing the Winners of both Awards at the ACO Convention Dinner. The Dinner was last night however I have not heard or read anything official but on the RAFA Youth Page there is a post from on of the Leicester squadrons that claims that the sword has been awarded to their CWO and that the runner up for the Broach is a Female from Sherwood Sqn. Although no notification of the Broach winner. or region.

How is it that the individual cadets have not been told directly that they did not make it and nothing has been posted on the ACO’s own social media before being released to RAFA Youth and across the web.

It appears that it was the squadron that jumped the gun rather than RAFA. You’d have thought that news like this would be under embargo.
