Saturday 6th October saw the cadets raising funds for the unit by Bag Packing at Sainsburys. The cadets were praised for their polite and mature manor by the shoppers and this was reflected in the donations they received.
On the same day the Cadets and Civilian Committee manned a recruitment stand at the Letchworth Get Involved fair at Plinston Hall. This is put together by the Heritage Foundation and is for those members of the community to have a look around and see what volunteer work they could be involved in.
Sunday 7th October was a very early start for 12 Cadets and Staff who made their way to Standalone farm to help with the car parking at the annual 10km road race organised by Letchworth Road Runners.
Alongside the Road Runners event the second day of the Get Involved fair was also going on. The stand attracted some very interesting members of the public which included veterans who have offered to come to the Sqn and give talks to the Cadets on the regular RAF Sqn's they were once a part of.
The whole weekend has been an excellent opportunity for 248 (Letchworth) Sqn to recruit, raise funds and raise their profile in the local community. OC 248, Flt Lt Wilton commented "The cadets, staff and the civilian committee have worked extremely hard over the weekend to make it a success, they have done very well and should be proud of themselves."
