Cadet hall in Halkirk is beside Sutherlands garage. The building by the park is only occasionally used.

Thank you. I noticed the one by the garage tonight when I was walking around the village. Was wondering which hall was used for cadets.
I'll take my son round tomorrow. Hope he will like it.

Stefan Army Cadets is brilliant! I went to the Thurso one for 4 years and loved every minute of it!

I still have my medals for shooting and all that cos it was a huge part of my life!

But ya gotta be tough for some stuff! :eek:

Four years in the Army Cadets helped make me what I am today. The range of activities available to a kid that's willing to 'have a go' is incredible. Have a look at www.armycadets.com for more information. And I believe it's good for adults as well.

Yep..my male offspring became an adult instructor on becoming too old for cadets more years ago now than I care to remember...and his life pretty well revolves around it.
