Raft Race 2014
The senior Cadets along with a member of the civilian staff and one of our parents decided to enter the annual "Lions Club Raft Race", so a team was put together, Kyle, Ryan, Hannah, Jordan, Jamie and Chris all braved the River Nith for the course from Nunholm down to the Caul Back in the centre of town. Although we did not win the race, all that took part had a fantastic time.

Guid Nychburris 2014
With 5 weeks to go to "The Big Parade" we decided to enter a float at the annual Guid Nychburris parade, the theme - Sea Cadets of the Caribbean - After stressful weekends and evenings, everything was in place to decorate the float when it arrived the night before the Parade. Most of the work was done and it was completed by 1.30pm on Saturday 21st June. After a long wait and the judges deliberating we all thought that we hadn't won anything then at the very last minute, there it was "Best Overall", we had came FIRST what a tremendous accolade for all the hard work the cadets, staff and parents had put in. Onwards and upwards, what will the theme be next year? we have a reputation to uphold now.

Although it was an early start the cadets got a flavour of what London 2012 is all about.
