Cadet Corporal Sam Keating of MKSCC’s Royal Marine Cadet Detachment was installed as Lord Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire's Sea Cadet, the unit’s seventh in succession. Despite having served for only a little over two years, Sam has made meteoric progress through the Royal Marine Cadet ranks and is always an enthusiastic volunteer for unit sporting and civic activities.
Through the coming year Sam will attend the Lord Lieutenant during his official engagements, particularly royal visits.
On 11 October, more than 120 MSSC members, trustees and supporters gathered at Trinity House, London, for Annual Court, the charity’s AGM.

For the fourth year in succession a team from Milton Keynes are the corps' national champions. They then went on to represent the corps in the all-cadet competition they were second only to a CCF unit from a large boarding school. Coached by staff led by CPO Heather Cole and CI Richard Blackwell, who knows what they might achieve next year!
