Squadron Chaplain Appointed

10th February 2000
Report by AWO Hoole

The upgrade of Chivenor to Squadron status has meant that a lot of important changes have had to happen since 1st August. One such change was made this evening, with the official investiture of our Squadron Padre.

Revd. Sarah Wood, from Heanton Church, was appointed as Padre in a short service conducted at the cadet hut. The ceremony lasted about 15 minutes, during which the Squadron Commander, Flt Lt Powell, and Chairman of the Civilian Committee, Mr. Ted Newman, both presented Revd. Wood with official ATC Chaplaincy badges.

Revd. Wood conducted the service on ATC Sunday just four days earlier at Heanton church, which 17 cadets and 4 staff attended.
