The annual Eastern Region cadet forces first aid competition
took place at Cambridgeshire Army Cadet Headquarters at
Waterbeach near Cambridge on 20th June 2009.
Assessing the event was top cadet first
aid officer in the UK, Lieutenant Colonel Alan Sharkey, MBE,
Chairman of the Army Cadet Force Association National First
Aid Panel. Lt Col Sharkey was ably supported by Mr Graham
Waterson from St John Ambulance, Cambridge.
Cambridgeshire army cadets put in a superb
performance coming first in the team tests with Lance
Corporal Amber Bradbury (17) from Ely being placed as best
individual competitor. Amber and her team members became
overall winning team with an impressive combined score of
214 points with Suffolk ACF as runners up with 141 points.
The
Young Adult first aid competition also took place using
similar scenarios - but with one person less per team the
tests became substantially more challenging. Cambridgeshire
ACF again performed with excellence, winning best team
position – with Sergeant Instructor Laura Conway (21) from
Huntingdon taking the best individual position. The overall
winners were Cambridgeshire cadets with a score of 148
points and 51 Squadron Orton, Air Training Corps were
runners up with 134 points.
