It is with deep sadness that TS Apollo announces the passing of PO(SCC) Sinead Collins.

Sinead was well known throughout Southern Area and loved at Marlow Sea Cadets, having joined the Sea Cadet Corps at the age of 10. She paraded at Woking Unit until 2021, when she transferred to TS Apollo, Marlow. Sinead's cadet career spanned an incredible 26 years, of which 18 years were spent as an Adult Volunteer. During that time, she generously shared her knowledge, experience, and wisdom with countless cadets, particularly within our Junior Cadet section, where she had a lasting impact on many young people.

Outside of the Corps, Sinead worked as a Housing Officer for Watford Community/Chime Housing Association, where she made a difference to the lives of people in the community. She kept our Commanding Officer on a steady course and was devoted to her two beloved dogs, Vinnie and Merlin, who she would bring to the unit and visits to our unit boating days.

Sinead's dedication, friendship, humour, and commitment to the Sea Cadet Corps will be remembered by all who had the privilege of volunteering alongside her.

Rest in peace PO Collins. Fair winds and following seas.

⚠️ STOLEN SUZUKI 9.9hp OUTBOARD ENGINE BRACKET IN MARLOW: PLEASE SHARE ⚠️

Sadly, sometime within the last week, the Suzuki 9.9hp outboard engine from our orange powerboat was stolen (photo attached). The boat was stored by Bisham Abbey Church, upriver from Higginson Park in Marlow.

Our chains were cut through, and the boat was physically lifted out of the water and left on the bank close to where it was afloat. Given the location, weight and size of the boat and engine, this will have required several people.

🚨 We are appealing to anyone who may have seen or heard anything 🚨

If you are a local resident, neighbour, fisherman or river user, did you see anything that may help us? Or perhaps you know someone who was in the area, saw something, or has CCTV footage that could help?

If you were walking along the Thames Path linked to Higginson Park, fishing in the local area or took photos locally, our boats may be in the background.

📩 If you have any information, please contact us via message on Facebook or Instagram, or email [email protected].

Even the smallest piece of information could be important!

We are a youth charity, and thefts like this have a huge impact on what we can provide for our cadets.

Without an engine, our powerboat cannot operate. This means we are unable to take our boats out as planned and have to reduce the number of cadets who can participate in boating activities each week.

Our resources are vital to delivering the experience and training our cadets deserve — and losing equipment like this has a very real impact.

Please share this post with:
🚨 Local community groups
🚨 Friends and neighbours
🚨 River users and boaters in and around Marlow
🚨 Any fishermen who frequent the Marlow area
🚨 Anyone who lives or works around Marlow

The more people who see this, the greater the chance that we find someone who has information that could help.

Thank you to everyone who shares, keeps an eye out, or gets in touch. Your support means a huge amount to us.

A huge congratulations to Cadet First Class Max and Cadet Jude, who passed their basic camp craft course over the weekend! 👏🥳

They spent the weekend at Dorney Woods Scout Camp taking part in the Southern Area Camp Craft Course. Over the weekend, they pitched their own tents, developed their map-reading and outdoor cooking skills, learned about camping safety, and finished the experience by spending the night in their tents 🏕️

A huge well done boys, we’re all very proud of how well you represented the unit and for the effort you put in over the weekend ✨

A huge thank you to our own CPO (SCC) Joseph who spent the weekend away helping run the course, alongside all of those who made the course possible! 🙌

It is with deep sadness that TS Apollo reports the passing of Lt Cdr (SCC) D Carter RD* RNR.

David was a highly respected and much-loved figure across the Sea Cadet Corps, particularly within the communications branch, where he served in both area and national roles. His commitment to the Corps spanned an extraordinary 58 years, beginning in July 1959.

Throughout his long service, he instructed at many units across the UK before joining Marlow Unit in February 1980, where he remained a dedicated volunteer until April 2017. His impact on TS Apollo and the wider Corps is immeasurable.

We are forever grateful for the knowledge, experience, and support he shared with countless cadets and adults. His legacy lives on in the many individuals he inspired, mentored, and guided over nearly six decades of service.

Rest in peace Sir, with fair winds and following seas

Friday night was a busy one for us on the water… 🌊

We completed our water safety tests (including a river swim for the CO!), rowing race training ahead of our upcoming district competition, a supervised coxswain qualification sign‑off, manoeuvre practice in the rowing boats, and of course plenty of singing! 🎶

We were really pleased to welcome back Elise, who has now officially joined the Royal Navy. It was great hearing how she’s been getting on, and we can’t wait to have her back at the unit again soon. We’re all incredibly proud of you, Elise! 🥳

20/04/2026

A huge congratulations to our now CPO (SCC) Nathan Joseph, who went away on his promotion board over the weekend and passed! 🥳🎉

Everyone at the unit is very proud, well done Chief!! 👏✨
