Whilst Chindit Company 2 LANCS are training for their new Specialised Infantry role in the jungles of Belize, they were visited by the UK Minister of State for the Armed Forces, Rt Hon Mark Lancaster TD MP (pictured in uniform as he is also a serving full Colonel in the Army Reserves). During the visit to Manatee Training Area the Minister was asked to make field promotions to two members of 4 LANCS attached to 2 LANCS. Authority to promote the soldiers had come through only hours before so this was a genuine welcome surprise to Sergeant (now Colour Sergeant) Outhwaite) and Kingsman (now Lance Corporal) Byram who are both from Cumbria. Chindit Company are on day 22 in the jungle on a 6 week exercise and we'll be posting updates from them here and our Instagram page @LANCS_REGT #LionsOfEngland

UK NORTH ROAD RACE SERIES Overall Results
It has been a pleasure to watch the 2nd Battalion’s cycling team gain confidence, experience a new twist to cycling and most of all, have fun with bike racing whilst mixing it with other units across the North.
The 2nd Battalion made a huge achievement after racing its first ever UK North Road Race Series by placing an incredible 2nd place.
... The series was coordinated by Sgt Mathew Kirkbright RAPTC AFC. Without him all of this would not of been achieved.
It was a perfectly structured series ranging from individual time trials, team relay time trials and Closed Circuit racing. It was put together with ambition to better each race as the series progressed and succeeded beyond expectation.
Sgt Kirkbright is a credit to Army Cycling and achieved an ambition to get more riders involved at all levels of ability. The cycling team are already looking forward to next years series.
