18 cadets and volunteers aged 16 -25 formed a single crew and took part in the RN’s Junior Field Gun competition at HMS Collingwood today, and went through to the final!
They competed against crews (teams) from lots of organisations including the RN, Princes Trust and Army Cadets. They were all competing for the competition shield as well as the Inter Service Cadet shield, which they won last year. The competition sees crews racing with a 1.5tonne field gun.
The Sea Cadet crew drew on cadets and volunteers from lots of units from across the UK including Newcastle and Cornwall. The competition is about team work, commitment, dexterity and coordination while manouvering the equipment over the course.
Well done to everyone who took part.
