BZ Basildon, so proud of you all.
We had the privilege of meeting Princes Anne face to face, we provided a carpet guard and they were fabulous, it was our first time doing this and what a great occasion to do this for.

Thank you to Worshipful Company of Carmen for inviting us, proud to be affiliated.

Today we attended our first competition of the year, a busy day and juniors were very tired afterwards, but because they put energy and effort into to the games they played.

They came away with 2nd 🥈 place.
BZ juniors, very proud of you all and for most of you a first competition.

We are all proud of your achievements.
Well deserved.

Well done all for your hard work and commitment for our RNP last week, it was great for you to meet our VIPs and guests and to experience the parade itself.

We had a Halloween party which was appreciated by all as the hard work paid off, we danced lots and enjoyed the night, good to see some shapes made on the dance floor.

Within the same week we attended the fireworks display which went well, the cadets got food and watched the fireworks and worked hard to help our community.

BZ all, proud of your hard work and achievements.
Keep up the good work.

Soooooo, we have had a very busy few months, we have done a lot of sailing, powerboating, rowing and kayaking and attended a summer camp with Maldon that had all of that and more, a fab week for us all.

We have been privileged to attend the Worshipful company of Carmen previously and had the opportunity to attend the Cart Marking ceremony, the cadets liked this a lot and we will be returning.

Games, leadership tasks, visits, First aid, weekend camps and promotions and training, as you can see we’ve been a busy unit.

Thank you to those that have supported us this year.

Tomorrow is our RNP, it has been a busy time for us all but without the cadets and staff hard work this would not be possible, so thank you sooooo much to you all and good luck for tomorrow.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Phew, that was a hot one, but with that aside all went well.
Great turn out from everyone involved and thank you to the parents for getting them there.
The parade was shorter but was appreciated with the heat.

Thank you cadets for your turnout and looking smart, you did fab in that heat and still managed to enjoy it.

We have had a busy month and every weekend we have done something or other, so enjoy next weekend off.

BZ all

Last weekend was busy and a hot one for us all and were fundraising for the Help for Heroes in Tescos on both days.
Our chairman and President on our UMT was present to help and support so thank you.

Thank you to the cadets that turned up on both days and thank you to the parents for getting them there, they did very well to raise money, not sure how much yet.

Great team work from you all, you did well to survive the heat.
