Powys Air Cadets finally have new minibus after four years
A LLANDRINDOD Wells organisation says it is 'delighted' to have finally achieved its goal of buying a new minibus for youngsters in the town. The Llandrindod Wells RAF Air Cadets recently purchased a new minibus, after a near four-year campaign that started in late 2021. The group's old bus had been sent to the garage and the initial hope was to repair it. However, it quickly became apparent that it would be too costly to fix and the cadets set up a fundraising page, with the aim to raise a modest total of £3,000. 'Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts to raise money for a replacement minibus over the last few years,' said the cadets on its Facebook page earlier this month, accompanied by a picture of proud youngsters standing next to the new Peugeot vehicle, which the kids have named 'Dennis'. 'We are delighted to have achieved our goal and on April 10 our minibus arrived. 'It has already been put to good use over the Easter holidays. So far it has supported our road marching, taken a group of cadets to RAF Cosford for flying and helped transport our gazebo to the lake for the Easter Saturday fun day. It (also) took the cadets to Sennybridge for a weekend of fieldcraft activities. 'Thank you to everyone who suggested a name for the minibus. The cadets decided on 'Dennis'.' The old minibus had served them faithfully for a decade but once it was sent for repairs it was discovered that would be too expensive, and a brand-new vehicle was required. The spa town-based squadron aims to train young men and women in leadership and citizenship roles through exciting and adventurous activities. The RAF Air Cadets offer young people exciting opportunities for personal and professional development. It describes itself as an inclusive organisation that cares about helping young people reach their potential. There are around 43,000 Royal Air Force Air Cadets across the UK, as well as 10,000 volunteer staff, who take part in exciting events at over 1,000 squadrons across the UK. From cyber and space to sports, flying and adventure training, being a cadet means trying new things in a safe environment, making friends along the way and gaining skills for life.
