How do I pay subs?
A cadet subscription is £17 per month. You need to set up a standing order with your bank to pay this monthly. This cost covers the insurance for cadets. Don't forget to cancel the standing order when your child leaves as this is done through your bank.
For any issues or inquiries, treasurer.317@rafac.mod.gov.uk

How do I join the Civilian Committee?
The committee is a separate entity of the squadron that is needed to consider how our funds are spent. Our committee consists of parents, ex-cadets, ex-staff and civilians committed to serving the youth of our community.
The committee meets once a month for approximately 2 hours to discuss funding proposals and upcoming events that the committee organise.
