Looks like a really good building!

I would ask room for one more but it’s probably a no?

The secret is out! :rofl:

But it’s new. New cars look nice for a few months if that.
Once this has had cadets in and out for a few weeks it will look like a normal.
They should be thankful that it’s not shared, which in this day and age seems to be the norm for new builds.

How the hell does she get the handover, it’s the OC who should be front and centre for that. I was when we got our new shed 15 years ago.

He was :slight_smile:

It’s a shame you couldn’t get the correct style of flag mast though. :smiley:

Still, looking good though. Do you think the solar panels will make a big difference to the utility bills?

We have a ‘new’ build and have the same straight pole :fiji:

It’s currently generating all it’s own power, has a nifty graph on the front of the Solar unit thing that shows power usage vs generation.

Do you have battery storage or just panels?

Just panels at the moment, however depending on how the first 12 months go - if there is a regular surplus then batteries will be added.

Its been six months since the last update… how’s everything going?

Fairly good - numbers are down around 70ish - lost a lot of older ones to university, but recruitment will solve that.

Some notable wins in key areas: drill, banner, sports, DofE achievement.

Generally very happy with everything.

Do you think this would have been the case without the changes?

Hmmm…we get that. Staff are sidelined while the Cadet NCOs decide policy with the boss. Quite demoralising for the staff. This isn’t normal is it? Maybe we’ve been doing it wrong for years …

Or perhaps the OC had already spoken to the Adult NCO team first…

Perhaps…

You do realise @Threaders is part of the team there don’t you.
