At last week’s 2026 RAF Sports Awards, we were delighted to be named the RAF Central Fund Unit of the Year, in recognition of our relationship with British Cycling.

As well as RAF Shawbury proving a highly successful location for Team GB BMX freestyle athletes to train for National, World and Olympic competitions, our collaboration to develop performance coaching relevant to elite sport and flying training has greatly benefitted both organisations.

Equally, the partnership has supported the development of grassroot BMX club riders, as well as regular community development days enabling young people to experience BMX for the first time under the guidance of the country’s top riders and coaches.

RAF Shawbury’s Gliding Club’s training of Air Specialist 1 Bradley, preparing him to undertake an aerobatic public display at the annual RAF Cosford Air Show, was also recognised, with the RAF Gliding and Soaring Association picking up the RAF Sports Endeavour Award for 2026.

Last week, RAF Shawbury held its annual Health and Wellbeing Day.

A big thank you to all of our exhibitors from education, sport, medical, dietary, mental health and wellbeing services who gave up their time to put on interesting and interactive displays.

It was a great opportunity for our Whole Force to reflect on their own lifestyles and learn a bit more about improvement opportunities they might like to take up.

The response to our Christmas Carol Concert on Tuesday 1 December has been amazing.

It does mean, however, that we have reached our capacity and there are no longer tickets available.

If you have booked and find out later that you can no longer make it, please return your tickets on Eventbrite.

This will mean other people can book your returned tickets and attend the event.

Thank you.
