A Day of Adventure: Northwood Headquarters hosts Hertfordshire Heroes Christmas Art Competition Winners
On Thursday, 20 March 2025, Northwood Headquarters hosted the four lucky winners of the Hertfordshire Christmas Art Competition for a Day of Adventure. Each winner, chosen from school years 3, 4, 5, and 6, along with a friend, attended the event at the Stanmore Community Centre.
The day was packed with exciting activities, including fieldcraft, military skills, shelter building, and camouflage and concealment. The participants also enjoyed archery, military marching, and a music lesson with a Royal Marines Bandmaster.
Gp Capt Neil Towers, Commanding Officer of Northwood Headquarters, and Councillor Fiona Hill, Chairman of the Hertfordshire Armed Forces Covenant Board, met the winners and thanked them for their creative designs. These winning artworks were reproduced and sent to service men and women serving away from their families over Christmas to bring them some Christmas cheer.
This competition helps support the joining of military and civilian communities in Hertfordshire, which is one of the three aims of the Hertfordshire Armed Forces Covenant Board, Chaired by Councillor Fiona Hill.
