🗺️Learning, practising and preparing for the next step!

Our Royal Marine Cadets have been busy putting their map-reading skills to the test as they prepare for their upcoming Promotion Board.

From understanding map symbols to navigating routes and developing their confidence, the cadets have been working hard to sharpen their skills and put their knowledge into practice.

⚓✈️ Working Together for Remembrance 🌺

This week, we were pleased to be joined by the Air Cadets from 418 - Aberconwy Squadron ATC for an evening of joint parade training as we prepare for this year’s Remembrance commemorations.

It was a brilliant opportunity for both units to come together, sharpen up their drill, practise marching, and get ready to represent their respective cadet forces with pride and respect.

A special moment came when the three Standard Bearers had the chance to practise inside the church, giving them valuable experience of the setting and helping them prepare for their important role on the day. 🌺

There was plenty of hard work, focus and teamwork on display throughout the evening, and it was fantastic to see everyone supporting one another as preparations continue.

A huge well done to all the cadets involved your commitment and effort really showed.

⚓🇬🇧 Trafalgar Night Mess Dinner 🇬🇧⚓

We were delighted to host a Trafalgar Night Mess Dinner, celebrating the proud traditions, history and heritage of the Royal Navy.

It was a fantastic evening of camaraderie, friendship and remembrance, made even more special by the presence of our special guest, Flight Lieutenant Morris from 418 - Aberconwy Squadron ATC.

👏 A massive thank you to all the parents and staff who kindly gave up their time to help serve throughout the evening. Your hard work and support helped make the night a great success, and we really couldn't have done it without you!

🍷 And of course, no Mess Dinner would be complete without the traditional port toasts — although, in true cadet style, Vimto was our port for the evening! 🥂

A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the evening such a memorable occasion. Events like these are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate tradition, build friendships and honour the legacy of the Battle of Trafalgar
