THE York squadron of the air cadets is holding a recruitment evening on Wednesday, January 14.

The charity provides opportunities including flying, gliding, shooting, adventure training and the Duke of Edinburgh’s award.

Sgt Adam Waudby, from the group, said: “We accept teenagers between 12 and 17-years-old, both boys and girls, from any background.

“We are not a recruiting organisation for the Armed Forces, and do much charitable work across the year.”

The event is at the group’s HQ at Duncombe Barracks, in Burton Stone Lane, at 7.30pm. Queries can be directed through Twitter at 110@aircadets.org, or on 01904 635300 between 7pm and 9.30pm.
