Sea Cadets from London and Southern Area units had the amazing opportunity of taking part in a Mario Testino photo shoot to celebrate the upcoming Royal Wedding. The picture, taken on location at Syon Park in London, appears in the May edition of Vogue which is out now. The cadets look brilliant! They are pictured here with Mario Testino.
Sea Cadets will be taking part in the 2011 Peregrine Trophy, The Royal Navy’s prestigious photographic competition. A special category has been created for cadets and it is a chance in a lifetime for them to show off their photographic skills and capture the spirit and ethos of the Sea Cadet Corps- fun, teamwork and adventure.
Each year the RN recognises excellence in photography by hosting the Peregrine Photographic Awards and this year they’ve made a special category just for Sea Cadets. Any serving Sea Cadet aged between 13 and 18 can enter the competition for a chance to win and attend the awards ceremony in July.
We are really grateful to the RN for getting us involved, RN photographers travel all over the globe capturing amazing images of the RN in service and offer a glimpse into the tremendous work they do and the huge range of challenges and opportunities they encounter.
Sea Cadets from across London and Essex were presented with prestigious Jack Petchey Foundation Achievement Awards at the fourth annual awards event held at the Great Hall in Kensington on Monday 21 March.
Ninety nine young achievers aged 11-25, nominated by their peers and selected for a variety of achievements, received a medallion, framed certificate and cheque for £200. 19 volunteers were also celebrated for demonstrating, in an outstanding way, an ability to motivate young people.
Captain Mark Windsor RN, Captain Sea Cadets said about the event “It was a great privilege to be part of such a wonderful celebration of youth achievement and volunteer leadership. This could only be possible as a result of the marvellous support of the Jack Petchey Foundation. We are very lucky in London and Essex to have the Achievement Awards to celebrate our young people. My post covers the whole of the UK and there is nothing like it for Sea Cadets elsewhere. Jack Petchey is a legend.”
Congratulations to Hornchurch & Upminster Sea Cadet, Petty Officer Cadet Bradley Baker, 17, who has been appointed one of three Lord Lieutenant’s Cadets for 2011/2012 by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater London, Sir David Brewer, the Queen’s Representative in London.
The Lord-Lieutenant appoints young people from each of the Cadet Forces to serve for one year as Lord Lieutenants Cadets. It is an incredible honour to be chosen and offer a great opportunity to accompany the Lord Lieutenant on his duties with Royal Visits and other special engagements.
Petty Officer Cadet Baker said “I am very honoured to be appointed as the Lord Lieutenant’s Sea Cadet for 2011. I have been in Hornchurch Sea Cadets for over six years now and have enjoyed every moment of it.”
The wait is nearly over for Woking Sea Cadets. The new build is well underway and it looks amazing! This £1.7 million project, funded by Woking Borough Council, will benefit the whole community and give a much needed boost to Woking and Surrey District Sea Cadets. Its a multi purpose community facility that will be run by Dianthus Trading Company on behalf of and for Woking Sea Cadets. This unique approach is the very first example of a Community Interest Company (CIC) being formed in relation to a Sea Cadet Unit.
