Hey there Seamanshippers

Sorry I’ve been Q lately, my first year in command has been bonkers.

Anyway the seamanship adult only upskills weekend is open in WM.

If you need to be revalidated or want a refresh in your own skills then this is the weekend to do it. Remember if you don’t do much seamanship within unit, district or area within the 5 years you may not be revalidated. Attend this weekend will assist with keeping you up to date.

And obviously the Christmas Mess Dinner with drinks is always a good get together.

Get booking …..
