Annual Camp - Pirbright 2008 |
|
 It has been unfortunate that not all could go to the USA 'Summer Camp' this year; however we have arranged an alternative camp to be run at Pirbright. It will be run in parallel to the Military Gap Year Programme, taking place between the 8th - 15th September 2008, the two weeks leading up to Ex. Market Garden in Arnhem. I am hoping to capture as many of you as possible, SNCOs, JNCOs and TOMS (& officers if you can make it).
