And herein lies in the key question we need to answer; who’s our ambassador actually for?
Are they someone who will recruit more young people to the org, or are they someone to recruit more CFAVs and generate opportunities that may not otherwise be forthcoming.
Ideally, they’re both. But which is the priority if both isn’t feasible?
Surely we need two.
One to raise awareness and well influence on voting adults and industry, one to draw people towards joining as cadets.
Mr Longbottom good for the latter, Tom Chris arguably good for all, Sqn Ldr Ling probably better for industry.
We need a team…
Where did I put my memes?
When you tell dumbeldore that the CCF needs to follow dress regs…
“Avada Kedavra!!”
David Gillmore ?
Would love this, suspect most cadets wouldn’t know him from Adam, though
One of the ACF ambassadors is off on an expedition to raise money (and awareness) of the ACF…
(note - One. The ACF have several high profile folk championing their cause - https://armycadets.com/who-we-are/our-ambassadors)
The link refers to ‘Cadets Branch’, which I haven’t heard of before. Branch of what?
I’d like to make a nomination…
Kinda goes against the we dont do sports anymore though 
Well, I feel like that may not be the official line for too much longer… 
Just being sassy for the sake of it
I thought the offical line is “do sport, there is just no money”
I think that’s the official line for all activities now, not just sport…
Well… That’s £21k in the ACF coffers. And a lot of positive PR…
this is just an example of why the Air Cadets need to be a Loud Organisation like the ACF, with a well known ambassador (regardless of fame in RAF service or Aviation Links). If anything, bringing an ambassador in with no aviation knowledge and showing them work through the syllabus would be a good bit of PR
We need someone who really meets our motto of Venture Adventure and can help us raise funds for things like AT, and scholarships and such.
Carol Vorderman was, in all reality, a bad choice. Not inspiring to cadets, too political, and indirectly helped the case of certain National News outlets slandering us to further their “culture War” bs.
I agree.
Who in their right mind would want to be an ambassador for this organisation at present? We need to get our house in order and actually have something to show off and not be embarrassed about before we start getting people to try and promote us.
I don’t think we even need that,
At current the house is on fire,and we’re debating over how much it would cost to stop it. we need to start extinguishing it before we get an ambassador and show off the “progress” that would be made
I would argue, we have had the fire, the burnt out shell is all that remains.
Fire dept arrived but due to a lack of CACE paperwork couldnt deploy
Green shoots were seen in the ashes.
Sadly thats when fire dept power hosed the ashes.
Insurance company arguing payout value as they say the stated value wasnt ever there.
Now be sued for fraud.
