 The
Air Training Corps is structured in such a way that as well as the
military influence there is an allied civilian structure. The Civilian
Committees are involved in the running of the Corps from Squadron level
through to representation on the Air Defence Council.
Each ATC Squadron has a Civilian Committee. These comprise of Parents
and Friends of the Squadron but must include a Chair, Secretary and
Treasurer. Their role is to assist the Commanding Officer, suggest
new activities and raise funds.
Fund raising is very important. Whilst the Royal Air Force pays for many
of our accommodation and many of our activities such as Flying, Gliding
and Shooting, all other expenses and activities must be paid for by the
Squadron itself.
Many parents and friends get a great deal of enjoyment, pleasure and fun
out of assisting 'their' Squadrons as members of the Civilian Committee.
Committees meet to their own timetable, usually once per month, under
the direction of a Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer. Most Squadron
Civilian Committees will be very pleased to accept offers of extra help
- even if you can not commit to regular or long term assistance.
