District Regatta
Drill & Piping Competition
Today Cadet Toma attended the Eastern Area Sea Cadets Drill & Piping Competition at Newark Showground representing Notts & Derby District Sea Cadets in the Individual Piping category.
Whilst we didn't win, Cadet Toma scored admirably high against cadets from 10 other districts in the area (over 20 individual entries) showing both courage and commitment to the corps and the unit.
Qualifying at District and representing the unit at Area level (one below National) is an amazing achievement, particular for such a new cadet. I am an extremely proud CO, and I know we as a unit can build on this success next year.
Special thanks to PO Bradshaw for acting as Team Manager.
Bravo Zulu (naval speak for Well Done)
