Well, I started off as a president of Redhill Cadets, the then cadet officer of the county for the nursing cadets, the girls, because the girls and the boys were separated then. She said to me, when are you going to come and help me out by doing the county? And I said, yes, I will at the right time. And in those days, we did a lot of training with the police in Redhill again.

And she said, I'll take you around the county visiting all the young people. And then she did this and then she said, I'm retiring next week. I was in it. Didn't have a choice. But it's been fun. No, it's lovely. It's a lovely organisation. And then I became a deputy commissioner for youth. And then what did I do next? Gosh, such a long time ago. I became a deputy commissioner for the county.

And the commissioner was commuting between Yorkshire and here for his work. And I thought, well, I'm really not doing anything. So I said, please, can I go back and look after the youth? because he gave me a job. And I took over from him when he'd done his six years. It's a lovely organisation. The people are lovely. I've loved it. I love meeting the people. That's me. I'm a people person.

So you get to know them, you visit them, and you become friends with them.

Yes, particularly we help the ambulance side and the older cadets are working in hospitals, you know, for the weekend.

I find that it's a certain type of person. They're a very caring sort of person and love being around people. And also they have to work hard because getting your first aid certificate isn't a matter of just reading a book and saying, I've done it. They have to be tested. The young people are doing more and more work.

of the type of work that the adults are doing on duty mind you they are trained for it so and then most of those will go on to nursing or medicine it's lovely seeing them come back and they're they're a doctor or something and when we do the derby you get a lot of doctors will come back and help us and they're ex-cadets so you know which is lovely

I love these occasions, actually, because just the number of people here. It's nice to see some Redhill and Hawley, Reigate and Banstead.
