SUMMARY/CONCLUSIONS FINANCES. A mixed bag, units expressed concerns their facilities were worn however units that had requested money seemed to be content with their allocation.

MT. A big concern especially with SERCO controlled MT sections regarding driving hours or lack of vehicles.

TEAS. Most units that had to source refreshments from the Messes were not happy with the quantity or quality they were paying for.

PLAYER AVAILABILITY. A common theme. However, several units received a lot of support from local teams, and with station players heavily involved in local coaching and playing - the local teams also relied heavily on station players. Inference that cricket in the RAF was thriving through local clubs rather than unit v unit cricket.
