A great morning of the first event of our Autumn Sailing Racing Series - just the 2 competitors today, but we saw some decent wind and some great start line action.

To End the National Cadet Week we attended the Mayors Parade in the Town Centre.

As our super fundraiser Dougie, I took him to meet the mayor personally and have a little sneaky look in the actual Town Hall.

Thank you to those who attended.

“ Cadets is Home “

As described by one of our juniors which made me almost cry!

As part of National Cadet Week I went round and asked cadets what they got out of cadets. Some were brave enough to be filmed.

Then Ben and Dougie sat me down for some questions.

So here you go, and as Tyler says, “if you’re watching, why not give it a go”!

It’s a long one but worth it … and I tried my best with the editing 🫣🤣

Our super talented volunteer staff member Taz sharing her journey through her time as a cadet to a valued, crucial part of our team ! Thank you for all that you do 💙⚓️

I was an Air Cadet as a teenager, where I gained lots of qualifications, experienced lots in the world of the RAF. Made some great friends along the way.

Today, I am a volunteer in the Sea cadets where I am giving back to cadets. I spend my time teaching catering to these wonderful young people and special in teaching the youngest cadets - juniors aged 10-12.

My day job also brings me into the cadet world as a School Staff Instructor for the CCF units in the school trust.

If my life wasnt full enough of cadets, I am also a mom to 2 sea cadets, who have gained some many qualifications and had some amazing experiences.

I believe the cadets forces are a fantastic organisation that give our young people amazing opportunities and develop life skills to make them into well rounded wholesome citizens.

I am proud to wear my uniforms, what it stands for and what it represents.
