About 58 Squadron
58 (Harrogate) Squadron is one of the leading squadrons in the Central & East East Yorkshire Wing of the Air Training Corps. With a current strength of approximately 40 cadets, we are strongly represented in all areas of cadet activity.
We welcome everyone to the squadron. Cadets are encouraged to excel and strive to be the
best in all areas of our training, however no particular skills or achievement levels are
required. The only requirement to join is that you are between the ages of 13 and 18 -
it's as simple as that!
How to find us
Our squadron headquarters is situated on Strawbery Dale Avenue, near the centre of town.
When we meet
Squadron parades are held every Monday and Friday evening from 19:00 to 21:30. The squadron continues to operate through all school holidays except Christmas. All stand-downs will be announced.
What it costs
Subs are quite low and are paid monthly by standing order. Your uniform will be provided free of charge, but must be returned upon leaving the squadron. Current prices are:
| Per Month | £10 |
|---|---|
Every parade night we run a small tuck shop with all goods under 50p. The only other costs incurred during your time with the squadron will be for levies on camps and some other squadron activities. These costs are kept to a minimum. For example, annual camp (which comprises a full week away at an RAF station) normally costs around £60. This figure includes all accommodation, meals and activities - basically everything except sweets and souvenirs.
