Editors Letter... Here we are another year over and 2013 just beginning...New Year's Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Did your New Year resolutions make my top five list: Stop smoking. Fight the bulge Spend more time with friends/ family Get fit. Quit drinking Did you know that 88% of those people who set resolutions actually fail! Perhaps we have unrealistic targets and need to address theses to more realistic targets! Lets make this year different and achieve our goals. Good luck everyone! 2012 was a good year for The Arrow! We have excellent delivery staff ensuring the magazine is delivered to every door in the Isle and we have groups and individuals sending me articles every month and of course our advertisers who continually choose to promote their businesses each month. A big thank you to every one for making the Arrow the success it is today.

There is no charge for the dances, but donations towards refreshments are welcome. So, are you over 40? Feel a little unfit? Want to try something different that’s not too strenuous? Prepared to try some gentle activity and learn some dance routines? We will explain and lead you through the dances at your own pace so you can exercise and have fun at the same time. No previous dance experience is needed. No partner required! No need to book! Just turn up with comfortable, flattish shoes.

The Crowle Christmas Craft Fayre was the best yet. The mix of quality products on offer and the informal, festive atmosphere makes this event special. Nearly all of the stallholders are from Crowle and surrounding areas, and those who are not have family links in the town and is a chance for the Isle of Axholme to show off it's talented people. We raised £160 for Jerry Green Foundation Trust this year who do amazing work looking after and re-housing unwanted dogs. A massive thank you to all who attended and to the local businesses of Crowle who very kindly donate raffle prizes each year, and not forgetting all the stallholders. Finally, the biggest thank you is to Caroline who sets time aside from her busy schedule to ensure everything runs smoothly and to pull me back into line when required. Without any of you this event couldn't happen. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Whatever 2012 might have been like for you, I hope 2013 will be better. The New Year is the time some of us make ‘New Resolutions’. But if you are anything like me, new resolutions don’t last long. Last year I was forced to make a ‘mid year New Resolution’ when a doctor referred me to a Dietician! I resolved to reduce my consumption of Cadbury’s Wispa bars dramatically (except for my birthday, Christmas and Easter) and cut out ‘midnight snacks’. I have surprised even myself by sticking to this New Resolution most of the time. If I am going to make a New Year resolution this year, it must be something sustainable, achievable and measurable if it is to be worthwhile. Watch this space! Rev Timothy Buckley

South and West Yorkshire Wing Duke of Edinburgh Presentation
Corporal being presented with a certificate for achieving his Bronze award by Wing Commander Daniel
Saturday, 1st December, saw cadets and staff members from South and West Yorkshire Wing gather at Wing Headquarters, in Castleford, for the inaugural Duke of Edinburgh's Award presentation. The event was open to all cadets and staff from the Wing who have either completed the award this year, at Bronze, Silver or Gold level, or have completed one of the training courses run for the award within the last 12 month and provided an opportunity to recognise some of the hard work and effort put in by members of the Wing throughout the year. The event was hosted by Wing Commander Brian Daniel, Commanding Officer of South and West Yorkshire Wing and was organised by Flight Lieutenant Andy Williams, the Wing DofE Officer. Representatives from many of the Squadrons involved with the award were present, as well as representatives of the Wing admin staff and various Sector commanders from the Wing. The event saw a number of cadets presented with awards for their achievements throughout the year in completing various levels of the award. The award contains either 4 or 5 sections, which a cadet must complete in order to be gain the award for their given level. Wg Cdr Daniel said “The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a fantastic qualification. It ties in so well with the Air Training Corp, with the aims of the Corps and what we do. Cadets get a lot out of the award without having to do lots of additional work outside of the Air Cadets” He continued “It is a fantastic achievement for the cadets and a valuable award. As an employer it is something I look for, it shows the applicant has commitment, determination and drive. It is something I look for on a CV.” Flt Lt A Williams said “I would like to echo what Wing Commander Daniel has said, the Award is a great achievement for both cadets and staff. It does require commitment and time, both on behalf of the participant and the staff who help support them.” He continued “I would like to thank everyone who has participated and assisted with the award this year and hope that you will continue into the New Year.” The event was a great success and has helped cement the importance of D of E within the Wing. In total 107 cadets, nearly 8% of the Wing, have gained an award this year with a further 18 staff members being recognised for their efforts this year in passing various training courses. This builds upon the large number of cadets and staff who have already been awarded awards at various levels over the previous years or who have undertaken the various training courses required to run the Award. It is important to recognise the time and effort that both the Cadets and Staff have put into the Award over the year and over the previous years. The cadets give up a lot of their time to organise and take part in the various aspects of the award and often come away with a great sense of achievement when they complete it and see what their hard work can accomplish. But also the various staff in the Wing give up a lot of their time to assist the cadets in achieving their awards and without their efforts, time and commitment the cadets would not be able to achieve as much as they have done. Participation in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award is one of the many opportunities the Air Training Corps. offers to its members, both cadets and staff. It is a youth organisation open to anyone aged 13-17 to join as a cadet. It is also open to those over 20 who wish to join as a staff and assist in the running of such activities and to participate and complete their own award.

Crowle Cadets Learn to Lead the Way A number of Crowle Air Cadets have completed the South and West Yorkshire Wing Junior NonCommissioned Officer (NCO) courses. The course aims to teach the cadets how to manage and work as part of a team, how to control a group of cadets and how to get things done.
The course teaches communication skills and problem solving, as well as team management skills, all of which are useful in civilian life as well as within the Air Cadets. It also allows cadets from many different Squadrons to meet and interact, with many cadets forming lasting friendships that last after the course or to renew friendships made at pervious events or camps. Many cadets return from the courses with a new found confidence and ability to lead. This not only helps the cadets who have attended the course, but also those back at the Squadron. It encourages others to attend the course and develop their own skills.
Courses and training are just some of the many opportunities Crowle Squadron offers to its members, both cadets and staff. Air Cadets is a youth organisation open to anyone aged 13-17. It is also open to those over 20 who wish to join as a staff and assist in the running of such events If you are interested in finding out more about Air Cadets in Crowle and surrounding area why not come down to the Cadet Hut, Axholme Academy grounds on a Monday or Wednesday between 7:00pm – 9:00pm.
