Halloween Fun at Planet Laser for Thurston Air Cadets

On Thursday 29 October 2026, cadets and staff from 863 (Thurston) Squadron returned to Planet Laser in Bury St Edmunds for our annual Halloween get-together — and what an enjoyable evening it was!

Swapping the usual parade night for an action-packed evening in the laser arena, everyone came together to enjoy several games filled with friendly competition, teamwork and plenty of laughter.

With flashing lights, twists and turns, and opponents around every corner, there was no shortage of excitement. Cadets and staff put their quick thinking and communication skills to the test, working together to outmanoeuvre the opposition and make every game count.

Of course, the evening was about much more than the final scores. Our annual Halloween visit was a fantastic opportunity to spend time together, strengthen friendships and enjoy the camaraderie that makes squadron life so special. Whether taking on the opposition or sharing a laugh between games, there was plenty of squadron spirit on display.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped organise and support the evening, and to the team at Planet Laser for welcoming us. Thank you also to our cadets and staff for joining in with such enthusiasm and making it another memorable squadron occasion.

An action-packed Halloween get-together, friendly rivalry and great company — another fantastic evening for Thurston Air Cadets!
