Cadets from the CoLSCC visited a number of marine insurance companies raffling cakes baked by our Fund Raising Officer, Barbara Smith. This activity had been arranged by the Chairman of our Management Team, Captain John L David. 

The event was a great success and our thanks go out to the Britannia Steamship Insurance Company, Catlin, Walton and Morse LLP, Thomas Cooper and Hardy Underwriting.

Staff and cadets from the Unit stayed aboard for three days of celebrations for the ship's birthday.

The cadets paraded with serving sailors from the Type 23 Frigate HMS Westminster and veterans from the HMS Belfast Association. They also did numerous displays for the general public visiting the ship, raising the profile of both the Unit and the wider Sea Cadet Corps.

After this the cadets were warmed-up with soup and hot dogs, while the London Branch of the Coastal Forces Veterans' Association held a post-Service get together in the Gunroom, organised by the Unit's Parents' and Supporters' Association.

The following Tuesday senior cadets provided a ceremonial guard at the Maritime Media awards. The photograph shows Cadet Yasmine Leblebici presenting a bouquet to the Princess Royal.
