Cadets Start Again On Sept 8, 2010
Cadets starts on 8 September 2010 at Ralph McCall school, the doors that we will enter are by the playground, hopefully we can have signs out or cadets directing new parents/cadets. This is the official registration night and it will be ongoing, so if cadets want to bring a friend this would be a great day to do so.
A couple things will change at the school, cadets will start sharply at 1810 (doors will open at 1800 and close at 2100). We do not have access to the building and there will be a caretaker who opens the doors for us. Cadets will be shown boundaries on the first day, if we break the rules, we will not be able to parade at this location.
Cadets need to bring an extra pair of shoes, hopefully we can do our inspections outside until the weather changes and then the cadets will have to take their boots off while in the gym. Capt. Mark would like it if everyone could purchase non marking oxfords to wear inside the building. Once the cadet gets promoted to MCpl they will need them anyway. Once cadets outgrow them, we can have a bulletin board for parents to post used shoes/kit. You can buy oxfords at Wal-Mart, Zellers and shoe stores. Please make sure that the cadet can still polish them.
2Lt Rycroft will have the calendar for the year to hand out to all the parents so you can make all the dates in your own agendas, there might be some changes a long the way but that will be minimal.
On the 8 Sept 2010 cadets will also have a chance to talk about their summer. They can bring pictures, certificates, ect, even those cadets who did not attend camp are welcome to bring stuff about their summer. We will meet new cadets and parents and have a quick briefing with the new parents. We will also plan to have a uniform night, I am sure some cadets outgrew their uniform in the summer!
