Patchway Cadet Units meets on a Tuesday evening during term time. Leaders usually attend term-time sessions from 18:30 to around 21:15 (cadets attend from 19:00 to 21:00). We also ask leaders to help with some weekend and holiday activities. Not every leader is needed for every event, and we try to share these opportunities fairly, with leaders volunteering around their own availability. These extra activities do rely on leader support to go ahead.
