What a week at Weymouth Sea Cadets.
We had 4 cadets offshore this week- all coming into Weymouth harbour and achieving offshore qualifications. Cadets Ben, Zachary and Isaac were onboard TS Jack Petchey and OC Tom was onboard TS Royalist. Tom had the privilege of bringing her into Weymouth Harbour. More photos of offshore to follow as cadets send them in.

Lt Cornick has been using her holiday to support the Sea Cadet National Sailing and Windsurfing regatta in Stockport.

On Thursday evening 15 Cadets accompanied by PO Dennis and Mr Geare attended the Atlas UK Futures Programme event at Winfrith where they learnt about what TKMS Atlas do and how they could have a career with them. Some inspirational talks and visits.

Friday was a leadership evening for all our cadets where they enjoyed making balloon structures, back to back drawings, making tallest structures amongst other things. A great fun evening.
