Last night we were honoured to have Eastern Area Officer, Commander Charlie Bagot-Jewitt DL RN, HM Lord Lieutenant of Northamptonshire, James Saunders Watson and the Mayor of Northampton, Cllr Jane Birch onboard for our Royal Naval Parade.
It was an important evening for the unit as it was our bi-annual inspection by the Area Officer. We welcomed parents and supporters to come enjoy the evening and the cadets showcased the skills they’ve gained while being a member of TS Laforey.
After the ceremonial routine, which was smart and well conducted, the cadets put on a number of interactive classes and challenges for our distinguished guests and parents.
During evening colours we had a number of presentations which included the enrolment ceremony for 4 new cadets, Junior badges including 3 Commodores Broad Pennants, Junior and sea cadet promotions, First Aid at Work, offshore award and a BTEC Level 2 Certificate. The Mayor also made the appointment of the next Mayors Cadet of Northampton to Cadet Corporal Knight.
Our thanks goes to the Area Officer, HM Lord Lieutenant and the Mayor of Northampton for inspecting the cadets, getting involved in the activities and awarding the presentations to the cadets
A big well done to all the cadets who did TS Laforey very proud.
