Come on Northumbria ACF! Sunday 24th May 2020. #CommunityMatters

Members of Y Company recently visited one of our affiliated units (101st Regiment Royal Artillery) during their training weekend on Otterburn Training Area.
Heavy snow from the previous day had somewhat thawed. #StormDennis did not deter or dampen anyone's spirits as visitors got to see the Multi Launch Rocket System (MLRS) up close and learn more about the roles and responsibilities for those who serve. For a lucky few (who had previously attended the Royal Artillery Insig...ht Camp and achieved their gunnery badge) they were involved sending practice fire missions from within the Command Post. A hot lunch was then served on the area, a welcome treat on such a blustery and soggy day.
Thank you to the Commanding Officer and members of 101st Regiment RA for our invitation and looking after us so well. Many of our Cadets are now looking forward to the next Royal Artillery Insight Camp, which will run later this year. Thank also go to our Adult Volunteers who enabled the visit and gave up their Saturday to offer this opportunity to our young people.
