CCF recruits recently took part in their first field weekend; the training area used was RAF Barnahm, which has become a firm favourite, especially for Recruits Weekend.

Girls from Bedford High joined Bedford School boys and Dame Alice girls to practice the military skills they have learned on Wednesday evenings and also picked up some new ones. Sleeping under Bashas and living on ration pack food provided new and interesting experiences.

The cadets survived a chilly early morning, pre-dawn breakfast on Sunday morning and finished off the weekend with a round-robin competition.

For some this will have been the start of a long involvement with the corps.
