On the edge of Bearsden, one of Glasgow’s most affluent suburbs, you will find Drumchapel. Known locally as ‘The Drum’. When David Townsley, an Area Works Officer at Lowland Reserve Forces’ & Cadets’ Association (
RFCA), surveyed Drumchapel Army Cadet Force (
ACF) hut, he identified a need to provide better and safer training facilities for local Cadets. With the backing of senior management, the team jumped into action.
