The 1969 Rossendale Squadron Air Cadets, part of Cumbria and Lancashire Wing ATC, marked the achievements and promotions of its cadets in style at a formal squadron dinner.

Held at St Mary’s Chambers, Rawtenstall, more than 100 guests including MP Jake Berry and Rossendale Deputy Mayor and Mayoress Colin and Denise Crawforth, attended the evening.

Honoured guests and parents alike were treated to formal mess etiquette based on a traditional Royal Air Force dinner-dance. Following the dinner, the loyal toast was raised and speeches were made from Jake Berry MP and wing commander, Steve Molloy.
