“Building your Skills” and “Skills for Queen’s Badge” Courses
May I remind Captains and Company DofE Leaders that participants attending the above Courses who are doing their Volunteering by helping within the Company should remember to take along their Record Books for the Course Leader to sign the training course section. “Building your Skills” is required at Bronze DofE Standard and “Skills for Queen’s Badge” for Silver DofE Standard and particularly with the latter
I know there are participants this year who are travelling distances and it will cause delay and extra expense if the Record Books have to be posted backwards and forwards.

Battalion Golf Tournament
Even though there wasn`t a great entry, the first Battalion Golf Tournament at the Edwalton Municipal Golf Club went very well.
The weather was ideal and the golfers were keen and with Keith Whitaker wanting to stay out the rough and sand as much as possible it promised to be a good morning.
In the end after a good nine hole round Matthew Parkes won, with his brother Nick runner-up and Keith Whitaker in third place.
Congratulations must go to Matt for organising this new event, and to the Edwalton Golf course for allowing him to use their excellent facilities. Hopefully with a new date next year there will be a few more takers for this event.
