We as a squadron are proud of the work the Legion does not only within Aberdare but throughout the Country. Aberdare also has the opportunity to join 2423 (Treorchy) Squadron in November for the Rhondda Festival of Remembrance held at the sports centre at Treorchy.

MJL GROUP

 

MJL are one of the largest Health and Safety & Employment Law specialists in the country, the I.T. department at MJL has provided the Squadron with assistance on how to build this web site and are currently providing the facilities to host it, thereby saving the Squadron funds in the purchase of web space.

 

CREATIVE INNOVATIONS

 

During the last Dining In Night the Squadron approached Creative Innovations to produce a memento to allow us to din out our previous Commanding Officer. The company etched our Squadron Crest onto a glass trophy which for once, our out going CO was speechless. We would recommend this company to produce high quality trophys. Please click on the adjacent logo to visit their website.

 

LIZZARD MILITARY

 

After designing the squadron crest it was decided to produce clothing for both staff and cadets, we approached Lizzard Military who provided free Embroidery set up and a clothing range at reasonable prices. If your Squadron requires any clothing from t-shirts, polo shirts, rugby shirts, drill tops or fleeces then we recommend you contact Steve at Lizzard.

The club meets at the Plough Inn, Aberaman, Aberdare and they regularly organise rideouts and fund raising events in aid of various charities.
