Dunstable Sea Cadets is sorry to announce the passing away of our longest serving trustee Mr Ray Shrimpton. Ray was an Instructor and Commanding Officer of the unit in the 60s. He then joined the Unit Management Team and become a Unit Trustee.  Ray gave the unit the tools and resources needed to develop the unit into the thriving place it is today. Dunstable Sea Cadets would like say thank you for such committed service to us and to the youth of Dunstable.

Ray's last visit to the Unit was the awards night on 9th December to present his annual sailing trophy, we spent some time talking and he was impressed with what we are doing.

Our thoughts are with his family.

The family have asked for donations to be shared with Dunstable Sea cadets and Cancer Charity the link to the memory giving  site is:

Congratulations to POC Javis and LC Grace who passed their Petty Officer Cadet and Leading Cadet Boards on 17th November 2013.

Dunstable Sea Cadets, Royal Marine Cadets and Juniors marched from Grove House Gardens to the War Memorial in Priory Gardens as part of Dunstable’s Remembrance Parade. The Act of Remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony took place at the memorial at 11am. A short Remembrance service was then held in Priory Church.

On Sunday 27th October 2013, cadets from Dunstable Sea Cadets took part in the district 5-a-side football competition at Luton.

The Junior Sea Cadets team came second, the Senior Boys team came second and the Junior Girls team came first. The Junior Girls will now go on to compete at the area competition on Sunday 1st December.

Congratulations to all who took part.

Congratulations to the hornpipe team. Tonight, they travelled to RAF Chicksands, where they performed at the Trafalgar Night Mess Dinner for the invited guests. Their many weeks of training paid off as it went really well on the night. This is a photo from last night's practice at the unit.
After they had performed they were invited to watch the display by the Royal Marine corps of drums. I'm sure it will have been a memorable event for all involved.
Thanks also to CI Blumenthal and PO Hollis for organising the training over the many weeknights and weekends.
