If you’re parading for more than 2 hours it’s either unnecessarily large or extremely poorly organised!

Yeah, true.

Our parade including church is about 2 hours all in.

But I was in my parade shoes for 2 hours before that today.

Twas a whimsical remark.

MMH getting a set of no5s that should arrive in time for dining in. Just hope the sellers description is honest with regard to sizing :rofl:

I bought a set on here, and the sizing looked great in the advert, and to be fair, it was spot on, what they’d written…

What I hadn’t anticipated was that they were cavalry cut trousers, and while the waist was fine, the legs were incredibly tight at the thighs! I could barely get them on.

Fortunately, the tailor I used was able to take the spare material from the legs (which were too long) and add it into the inside leg seam. I still can’t get anything more than debit card in the pockets mind.

Yup, I spent 2 weeks at home for non-Covid reasons. 2 hours in a room with 2 people who had the seasonal lurgy and it knocked me for 6. It’s still not completely cleared 2 weeks later

Having a member of the public contact you via the squadron website to praise the staff who were on parade.

Just wanted to say how good you all were with the cadets today. You kept an eye on them all, constantly checking that they were OK. Hope those that had to leave the parade recover quickly.

And sort of in the middle of nowhere!

Yeah.

Only three fairly small towns, spread a few miles apart.

Mostly all done through word of mouth.
