Today 1297 took part in Stonehaven's Annual Remembrance Parade.

The Service was held at the local South Church in the Town. The Weather for the day was Cold but clear and crisp and was largely spectated as usual. then once the Parade made their way back to the Square they then made their way up to the War Memorial up on the Black hill for the Wreath laying and a small service.

Once back everyone was invited back to the British Legion for Warm Soup & Sandwiches.

Today was the Wing Swimming Gala and it featured many of the Wing's Squadrons and was very well contested with many medals being won across the whole wing.  Stonehaven entered 2 teams. A junior boys and senior boys team.  Both sets of lads did their very best and enjoyed the afternoon greatly. In the Junior team were Cpl Joe Gray winning 2 Silver medals, Cdt David Cooper, and Cdt Sam Jones also winning a Silver medal.

In the Seniors the team consisted of Sgt Andrew Duncan And Cdt Dan Moir sadly for cdt Moir he had to withdraw from his second event due to injury but enjoyed the day otherwise. The Cdts were helped by 3 staff. those were FS(ATC) James Brown, CI Scott Cooper and Cdt FS Drew Robertson. Many thanks to those who helped and took part.
