Join Us on the Civilian Committee
The Air Training Corps is structured in such a way that as well as the military influence there is an allied civilian structure. In fact the Civilian Committees are the backbone of the Corps and determine the running of the ATC from Squadron level through to representation on the Air Defence Council.
Each ATC Squadron has a Civilian Committee. These comprise of Parents and Friends of the Squadron. Their role is to ensure the Sqn maintains direction, assisting the Commanding Officer and raising funds.
Fundraising is very important as it supports many squadron activities other than flying, gliding and shooting and some sports. Most pursuits are financed through fundraising.
Many parents and friends get a great deal of enjoyment, pleasure and fun out of assisting 'their' Squadrons as members of the Civilian Committee. Our committee usually meets once per month on a Wednesday, under the direction of a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Our Civilian Committee will be very pleased to accept offers of extra help - even if you cannot commit to regular or long term assistance.
If you are interested in becoming a Civilian Committee member or if you just want to find out more, contact the Squadron.
