Great to see the below East Anglia RFCA article about Corporal Champion.

A huge well done to Cambridge Sea Cadet Corporal Champion, who had the amazing opportunity to meet HM The King during his recent visit to Cambridge Central Mosque! 🤩 As one of the Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets for Cambridgeshire, Corporal Champion represented both the county and Sea Cadets brilliantly. Full story linked in comments below.

Yesterday our First Aid team travelled to Beccles to take part in the South East District Sea Cadets First Aid Competition, delivering an excellent performance throughout the event.

We are delighted to share that the team achieved second place in the team competition, demonstrating strong skills, teamwork and confidence under pressure. In the individual event, Lance Corporal Day secured third place, a fantastic personal achievement reflecting real commitment to training.

As a result of their high standards, the Cadets have now been invited to represent the District at the Area First Aid Competition in September.

A huge well done to all Cadets involved, and thank you to the Adult Volunteers who supported their preparation. The Unit is extremely proud of their efforts and looks forward to seeing them compete at Area later this year.

It was great to welcome Major Horton, the District Officer (Desig) for East District Sea Cadets, to Coldhams Lane Army Reserve Centre on Fri night. At the end of the night, Major Horton was very pleased to present a pennant for 2025, recognising the high standards of the Unit last year.

It has been a very busy period at the Unit and we have fallen a bit behind on our updates but we are keen to catch-up now to celebrate the achievements of our Cadets.

On Fri 26 Jun, we were pleased to welcome the District Officer of South East District Sea Cadets, Lieutenant Commander Janner‑Burgess, along with members of the District and Troop teams, for our annual Unit Review Visit.

The evening was a valuable opportunity to showcase the Unit’s progress over the past year, highlight the strength of training across all sections, and discuss priorities for continued development.

The visit also included a series of awards recognising Cadet achievement and progression:

- Enrolment as a Royal Marine Cadet: Recruit Katta
- Advancement to Lance Corporal: Royal Marine Cadets Day and House
- Junior Cadet Green Badge: Able Junior Cadet Burton; Junior Cadets First Class Akpan‑Etuk I, Akpan‑Etuk J and Malin
- Junior Cadet Yellow Badge: Junior Cadets First Class Akpan‑Etuk I, Akpan‑Etuk J and Crighton; Junior Cadets Aldous and Gallager Hirst
- Row 2 Qualification: Junior Cadets First Class Crighton and Malin
- Advancement to Junior Cadet First Class: Junior Cadet Aldous
- Advancement to Able Junior Cadet: Junior Cadets First Class Akpan‑Etuk I, Akpan‑Etuk J, Crighton and Malin

These achievements reflect the hard work, enthusiasm and commitment shown by Cadets across the Unit, supported every step of the way by our dedicated Adult Volunteers. Congratulations to all Cadets recognised during the visit 👏

This evening was also poignant, marking one of Lieutenant Commander Janner‑Burgess’ final visits to the Unit as District Officer before handing over to his successor later this year. We extend our sincere thanks for the support, guidance and encouragement he has shown to to the Unit throughout our time in South East District.

Today saw a fantastic moment for Cadet Corporal Champion as she had the incredible honour of meeting HM The King during his visit to Cambridge Central Mosque. Corporal Champion was there as one of the Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets for Cambridgeshire and did a fantastic job representing both the County and Sea Cadets.

His Majesty spent time meeting volunteers and community leaders, and it was great to see Corporal Champion involved in such an important visit. Well done Corporal - a great achievement and a real credit to Cambridge.

Saturday’s Royal British Legion - Sawston and District Branch Drumhead Service at Strawberry Fields by Rangeford Villages was a real display of dedication from our Cadets and Adult Volunteers. Despite the high temperatures, everyone turned out smartly, upheld the standards of the Corps, and represented the Unit with pride. Thank you to all who attended and supported the occasion.

A busy couple of weeks mean that we've fallen a little behind with some of our social media but it is important for us to celebrate two successes from our April Divisions earlier this month.

We were delighted to enrol New Entry Cadet Mattless and Recruit Wagstaff as a Sea Cadet and Royal Marine Cadet respectively. The two Cadets said the Sea Cadet and Royal Marines Cadet Promises in front of the rest of the Unit and received their caps from the Commanding Officer. Well done to you both!
