DISTRICT COMPETITIONS UPDATE

The Sea Cadets hold regular competitions at a number of levels and recently Sherbourne cadets have enjoyed participating in the district football competition and the Annual Drill and Piping competition. Drill and ceremonial are a big part of the cadet experience and helps a cadet develop selfdiscipline and confidence. All those who participated worked hard and they did themselves and the unit proud with their efforts. All cadets are encouraged to take part in competitions and would speak to a member of staff to find out more.

Congratulations to the Continuity Drill Team for winning Silver Medals at the South West Area Drill and Piping Competition on Saturday 17th Matrch. 

Pictured with their coach Petty Officer (SCC) Becky Handley, the team had 2 weeks notice to put a full 8 minute routine together and they really stepped up to the mark practising at every opportunity in addition to normal parade days. Their hard work paid off with a second place medal and a benchmark to aim for next year.

Well done all, we are so proud of your achievement.

Juniors having all the fun

Juniors having all the fun

Not sure who had the most fun this morning, our Junior Sea Cadets or the Adult Volunteers who supported them with their morning, whichever it was it was certainley a fun time.  Chocolate Concrete, Cake Pops and Cup Cake Decorating was the order of the day and is a prime example of the kind of activities our Junior Sea Cadets get up to.

If you know of a young person between 10 and 12 who would benefit and enjoy this type of activity on a Sunday morning, come down on a Tuesday night and have a look around.
