Write up about his recent experience at the 350th Royal Marine Anniversary parade in London by MC2 Bradley.

I was given the opportunity to parade in London for the 350th Royal Marine anniversary when I was at Nationals for drill. It wasn't until I got to Portsmouth for training that I was selected to be in the review datachment (this means I and 48 others will be inspected by HRH Prince Philip).
As the training went I grew more nervous, but I thought about how in a few hours I will be meeting royalty! I have majorly enjoyed this experience and I will probably never take part in another parade as big as I did on the 8th of July 2014.
For this I am grateful to the Sea Cadet organisation and my unit for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity.

20th June:

Congratulations to LC Kate who officially became a Leading Cadet today. LC Kate was joint top cadet on her board in March.

You then have to give reasons for nominations. If you need help with this, I can send you a draft to attach.

We are looking to extend our facilities, particularly shower and toilet facilities to enable the unit to take more cadets and offer disabled access.

Thanks to the staff, committee and parents who helped out at the unit on Friday and Saturday this week. Their efforts have meant that the portacabin has been repainted and its roof repaired. The outside wall of the Royal Marine Cadets’ barracks has been painted and the outside wall on the other side of the building has also been painted. The rear wall of the Royal Marine Cadets’ barracks has been rendered.

The cadets who helped out and keep everyone fed with bacon rolls and teas and coffees were an essential part of this result.

Thanks to everyone's assistance, it should be possible to get the portacabin into use as two new classrooms fairly soon.

Due to problems with the website, we are currently unable to add to or update the event calendar.

Please note that the Quiz night is now on 12th March, not as the calendar shows on the 5th.
