Attention Re NAG FTX

We are currently holding tight at the cadet hall, as there is a possibility the weekend will be cancelled due to wind conditions. We will be advised by command in an hour or so, and if need be, will be contacting parents to pick up their cadets from the hall. Either way I will post an update to the website once we know.
