Air Cadets bring in the crowds for Civic Fireworks Spectacular

Cadets and staff from 121 (Nuneaton) Squadron were out in force again this year to help bring in the crowds for Nuneaton 's Civic Bonfire and Firework display.

Members of the Nuneaton Lions Club and the Nuneaton Round Table had teamed up with the borough council to organize the charity fund raising event and the Air Cadets were invited to assist with directing members of the public.

The cadets donned their high visibility Lions Club jackets and got stuck into the job of directing people to the entrances. But the evening wasn't all work and no play; as soon as the fire was lit the cadets got to join the crowd to enjoy the spectacle of the musically choreographed firework display.

Flt Lt Paul Hincks of 121 ( Nuneaton ) Squadron said, “The cadets did an excellent job and I would like to thank them all for turning out. Thankfully the weather conditions were perfect and this seemed to bring lots more people out to enjoy the firework display and bonfire. Hopefully this will be reflected in the amount collected in aid of local groups and charities that will benefit from the money we've helped to raise."
