In addition he is the Officer in Command at TS Revenge, Malvern Unit. Paul works as a solicitor with a well known law firm in Birmingham.

We have 15 places available for this and it will be taking place on 18th February at TS Legion in Wednesbury.

There will be a small charge of £6 to cover breakfast lunch and refreshments through the day, there will be accommodation available on the Friday evening and Saturday evening at TS Legion for those requiring it or attending the training the following day.

This training package offers us the ability to develop the character and personal qualities of current and new adults in a command situation, and provide an interesting and stimulating exercise that motivates and develops teamwork. This is a classroom based war game exercise. Participants taking part take on the roles of senior officers and are presented with a factually based scenario. The programme is a fluid one, with the exercise director controlling the events as the action develops, dependent upon the decisions and actions taken by the candidates.

As well as being a learning exercise, it is also a lot of fun, and helps to build working relationships between all involved.

This course is open to all staff and is an excellent opportunity to develop leadership and command skills.

I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

Kind Regards

Darryl Arnold

Drakes, Joey Cook, Lucy Arnold and Kayleigh Jones spent their parade nights making the beautiful centre pieces out of pine cones, holly, tinsel, fir tree branches, and to top it all off they made the candles themselves from scratch by rolling honeycomb wax from a local bee keeper who has his hives in Sandwell Valley. They also took the time to make a Christmas card for the staff of the house saying thank you for all their hard work “helping the families of poorly soldiers”.

Today Lucy Arnold (pictured) kindly took the decorations and card to the staff at Norton House who warmly welcomed Lucy into the house, and thanked her and all the drakes for their kind and thoughtful gesture.

Background of Norton House:
SSAFA Norton House provides short term accommodation so that families can stay nearby whilst their loved ones are being treated at Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham. The house is designed as a ‘home from home’ and is located in secure and peaceful environments. The home is available 365 days a year and is run by dedicated on-site teams who are there to offer support, comfort and gives advice to those who stay, through what is often a very difficult and emotionally challenging time.
